Dflow+ controller

Selmech Supplies’ digital in cab controller works in conjunction with an electronic flow sensor which is read by the control box to monitor and automatically adjust the speed of the pump motor to keep it’s output constant and deliver additive precisely. The control box will give an audible alarm if the additive isn’t being applied at the correct rate, e.g if there is a blockage in the tubing or if the tank is empty.

The control box can be set in different operating modes to suit all types of forage harvesting equipment and operator preferences.

An applicator stop start signal from your harvesting machine, if available, can be used by the control box to pause and resume the pump automatically. If your machine doesn’t have this facility you can fit the thru beam crop sensor. You can also view the total amount of additive dispensed at the push of a button.

Features

  • Digital display
  • Easy set-up function
  • Records the total litres applied
  • Digital flow sensor
  • Automatic applicator stop start
  • Thru-beam crop detection compatible

PWM controller

Our own in cab variable speed controller that enables the operator to set the out put of the pump easily and make manual adjustments for varying crop densities. It has an LED fault indicator to warn of a blown fuse or power supply issues. There is a boost button to run the pump at full speed for a short period if there is a temporary heavy crop density encountered. There is an output for the addition of a thru beam crop detector. A guide calibration chart is provided to help set the required output.

Features

  • Variable speed controller
  • Boost button
  • LED fault indicator
  • Crop detector option

Thru beam crop detector kit option

A thru beam crop detector kit option is available for use on balers and forage wagons. When positioned to detect the swath as gathered up by the pick up it will switch the pump on when the beam is broken and off when it is not. More info
