DZC 750

5 ACTIVITIES IN ONE MACHINE

1. CUTTING THE GROOVES
The driven blade discs are inserted into the soil up to a working depth of 13/16” and will cut 1/8” wide grooves into the soil. Due to the direction of rotation of the rotor (contrary to the direction of travel) all earth, grass roots and other material that the blade edges encounter are thrown away. The Eliet DZC 750 is, therefore, successful in cutting pure grooves with a spacing of 1-1/4”.

2. COLLECTING AND DISCHARGING DIRT
The dirt that is produced by the blades will not end up anymore on the area of lawn that has been processed. An auger (Archimedes screw) in the collection channel discharges the dirt to the side of the machine. An adjusted deflector collects all the discharged dirt on a verge on the side of the machine, thus, making sure that the freshly cut grooves remain free from dirt and the work related to clearing up can be done considerably faster.

3. SOWING
The 12 gallon seed hopper is located immediately behind the collection channel. A mill in the seed hopper ensures a continuous and uniform flow of grass seed. The distribution openings are connected to discharge channels that guide the seed over the grooves. The narrow nozzles distribute the seed unhindered into the clean grooves.

4. GUIDING LOST SEEDS
The seeds do not always fall correctly into the grooves due to the movement of the machine. Only 30% of this grass seed grows into a grass sod. To prevent wastage, ELIET has developed a gentle vibration system that will brush the lost seeds into the grooves through gentle knocks on the soil and the grass.

5. ROLLING
The rollers on which the overseeder moves will eventually very gently press the groove on the surface without compacting again the substrate that has just been cut open. This places the grass seed in a cocoon, so that it is protected and allowed to germinate.
