INTRODUCING THE VORTEX CSD
Featuring an industry-leading 24 seed ports and a unique cone-bottom design, THE VORTEX CSD IS DESIGNED TO BE THE MOST EFFICIENT SEED DELIVERY SYSTEM EVER developed for high row planters.
PATENT-PENDING
The Vortex CSD is a completely redesigned seed delivery plenum that improves two major problems experienced with central seed delivery systems on planters across the industry: the necessity of jumpers on high row configurations, and the inconsistent distribution of seed within a single plenum and across tanks on a dual bin system.
With an industry leading 24 port seed plenum, the Vortex CSD completely eliminates the need for jumper hoses on up to 48 rows on a dual CSD system. This results in a more consistent and reliable distribution of seed compared with most 12 or 16 port plenums that require multiple split hoses for higher row spacing.
The cone bottom circular plenum creates a vortex effect that maximizes efficiency so that seed distributes and empties at an equal and balanced rate, even across two different tanks.
The Vortex CSD has been proven with corn & soybeans and Harvest International will continue to expand testing to a broader range of seed sizes in 2024 and anticipates a retail launch on all Harvest International CSD planters in 2025. Harvest International’s modular CSD design will continue to facilitate an industry standard 16 port plenum.
