Özet

The effect of vane height on the uniformity of distribution pattern in rotary fertilizer spreaders with different flow rates through an orifice onto the disc was studied for triple superphosphate and calcium ammonium nitrate. The most uniform distribution pattern was obtained for a vane with 35-mm height and an orifice with 35-mm diameter for both fertilizers.
