ABSTRACT:
Mechanism for discharging granular material, especially seed and fertilizer, and having a bin and seed-flow regulators that variable amounts of material can be supplied to the ground through, whereby a sensor that detects the amount of material or number of grains of material discharged through that device is positioned in the vicinity of at least one flow regulator. To improve the sensor's detection of the amount or number of grains of material, a flow accelerator (8) accelerates the grains (22) of material toward the sensor (15) between the flow regulator and the sensor (FIG. 1).
