Tell me about the different types of fertilizer spreaders

Pneumatic fertilizer spreaders
And finally, although more advanced, are the pneumatics. They manage to reduce the doses of fertilizer without renouncing the level of homogeneity. They achieve work widths of up to 24 meters and are very similar to pneumatic seeders.
The diffuser distributes the microgranules uniformly and in the direction that we choose. They are usually very efficient, although much more expensive. Normally we see this type of fertilizer spreaders in large farms, because they work with much less fertilizer and are equally efficient or more than any of the above.

Centrifugal spreaders
They are the most used. They are also simple but stand out for their low cost and achieve a homogeneous distribution of fertilizers, especially when working with granulates. The fertilizer falls through a trapdoor and then there are disks, or a rotating tube, which is responsible for distributing it to the full width of the machine. They tend to be very homogeneous and get better working widths if they are double disc.

Fertilizer spreaders
They are characterized by being simple, with a low capacity of work. They usually have a basic mechanism and the working width is usually not greater than the transport. Distribute the fertilizer evenly and you can improve the working width of the same with different mechanisms such as a grid, chains, etc.
