Rotomoulded seed hoppers up to 4000 litres
Scaling up is a trend in the agricultural industry. Farming companies are getting bigger and bigger. It is becoming more and more challenging to sow huge areas of land in a short amount of time when the weather allows. To make this possible, agricultural seeders are getting bigger and more efficient.
This also applies to the seeders. It is not uncommon for machines to carry up to 8000 litres of seed and fertilizer. These tanks are often still made of sheet steel, but this has several disadvantages, such as high costs, high weight, corrosion, limited freedom of design and sharp corners in which material can get stuck. This can all be solved with our rotomoulded seed hoppers.
Plastic seeders: better than steel
Rotational moulded plastic seeders have many advantages compared to the traditional steel tanks:
- Lower costs per unit, which helps you to be cost effective in a highly competitive market.
- Lower weight, which reduces the needed design strength of the machine, lowering the overall weight, which results in lower soil compression and higher yields.
- The design and colour can be freely chosen. Industrial design has become an important factor, which helps the manufacturer to distinguish and build a strong brand. Rotational moulding is the ideal process for designers to create unique shapes.
- Extremely durable in harsh outdoor environments.
Accurate 3D scanning service for rotomoulded premium products
At Rotovia, we offer a comprehensive 3D scanning service, from physical scanning to post-processing. Our scanning service accurately measures rotomoulded products in 3D, providing extremely accurate measurement data. With this service, our customers not only gain precise 3D models of their custom moulded products, but also the ability to use the collected information in the design or quality control process.

Another trend in the agriculture industry is precision farming. The aim is to use seed, fertilizer and pesticides as precisely as possible to prevent waste and pollution. It is important that the seed hoppers can empty 100% so that no residue remains in the corners. Rotomoulding makes it possible to design seamless seed hoppers with large, rounded corners that do not trap any material. The inside wall of the hoppers is very smooth so that it is easy to clean. The complex shapes you need meet all the unique standars of modern farming.
In addition, the material used for our seed hoppers (mostly HDPE) is UV stabilized, completely colored through and through, durable and can withstand extreme temperatures, weather and agricultural chemicals. This makes it the perfect fit for modern farming.
