Talc-graphite mix for seed drills

Talco-graphite for seeders technical is intended for use as a seed additive. It increases seeding efficiency, reduces seed consumption and shortens seeding time.

What is talc-graphite mixture

Talc is a crystalline mineral. It is a crumbly, greasy to the touch powder of green or white color. The lighter the talc, the higher its quality. For industrial needs, talc of a finer fraction - micro talc (crushed) is also used. Graphite is a natural mineral of gray color with metallic luster, one of the modifications of carbon. It has low hardness, contains no more than 12% of impurities, is resistant to heat. It is widely used in industry.
Talc-graphite mixture is a gray powder, greasy to the touch. As a rule, talc and graphite are mixed in a proportion of 8:2 respectively. This combination significantly speeds up the seeding process and reduces the wear of seeding equipment parts. The mixture is recommended for use in pneumatic and vacuum seeders.
The mixture of talc and graphite prevents adhesion of seed material to the walls of the hopper, gluing of seeds to each other, provides uniform feeding through the seeding machine. Taking into account the natural origin of the components, the mixture is environmentally safe.

Advantages of using talc-graphite

The ideal combination of talc and graphite makes talc-graphite mixture irreplaceable in agriculture, it is widely used in sowing operations with the use of seeders of different types.
Talc-graphite for seeders technical provides a number of advantages:
● Increases the working life of seeding devices;● Works as a dry lubricant in precision seeders;● Prevents seed sticking and damage to seeds;● Increases the bulkiness of the seed;● Increases sowing uniformity;● Improves the quality and efficiency of sowing operations.
Talc-graphite mixture has antistatic and water-repellent properties. It does not contain harmful impurities and is of natural origin, so it does not harm the environment. The fraction size of talc-graphite powder for seeders is no more than 20 microns. The average consumption of the mixture is 3.5 g per 1 kg of seeds.
Technical talc-graphite for seeders is used in the work of tilled and pneumatic precision seeders. The mixture is packed in bags and buckets of different weights. Talco-graphite mixture is recommended for use with seeders Monosem, Kinze, John Deere, Kverneland, Great Plains, Lemken and others.
