Loader of seeders ZS-30M (modernized)

ZS-30M Onboard Seeder Loader

The ZS-30M onboard auger seeder loader is a mounted unit designed for the mechanized loading of seeding material (seeds) into the hoppers of seed drills. Its main task is to speed up the process of loading equipment in field conditions, reduce seed loss, and minimize manual labor. The ZS-30M seeder loader is also used for loading granular mineral fertilizers, and it can be optionally equipped with a seed treater, which allows for pre-sowing seed treatment directly during loading.

In addition to its primary purpose of working with seeds during the sowing season, in practice, many farms use the ZS-30M as a universal mobile transloading auger for any bulk cargo. It allows for easily forming high piles in warehouses, filling bags, or loading grain trucks at the edge of a field, and even containers and railway cars where there is no stationary equipment. Although such operations are fuel-intensive, they are often the only available or most cost-effective solution compared to alternative options. This is the main value of the ZS-30M - to be a universal tool for solving logistical problems "here and now".

Principle of Operation of the ZS-30M Seeder Loader

The ZS-30M seeder loader is a well-thought-out and fully equipped system, ready for work. It is standardly equipped with its own hydraulic distributor, which provides convenient and intuitive control of all operations - from tilting the body to the direct loading itself. The design is engineered to make the process as efficient and controllable as possible, and the entire work cycle usually takes place in a few simple stages:

1. Preparation for Work
A loaded dump truck (or trailer) with the ZS-30M installed on the rear tailgate approaches the seeding complex. The operator then unfolds the inclined auger from its transport position to its working position and positions its discharge spout precisely over the seeder's hopper.

2. The Loading Process
The operator slightly raises the dump truck's body - the seeding material, under its own weight, slides down to the rear tailgate and through the sluice gate of the half-board directly into the receiving mouth of the auger. After that, the hydraulic motor is engaged, which sets the auger screw in motion - it catches the stream of seeds and transports it upwards through the tube-casing, unloading it into the seeder's hopper.

3. Process Control
The flow intensity is regulated by the angle of the body's tilt and the degree to which the sluice gate is opened - the operator has full control over the process, turning the auger's hydraulic motor on and off and regulating the body's lift to avoid spillage.

During loading, the operator can control the process very precisely, as all controls are located directly on the rear board. For the most uniform filling of the hopper, the flow of seeds can be directed using the flexible discharge spout. Although this operation can be performed by the operator alone, in practice, an assistant is often involved for greater speed and quality. After the seeder's hopper is full, the body is lowered, the auger is folded into the transport position, and the dump truck is ready for the next cycle.

Features of the ZS-30M Seeder Loader from Zavod Moroza

Taking the classic and time-tested design of the ZS-30 seeder loader as a basis, the engineers at Zavod Moroza have carried out a deep modernization to make the machine even more efficient, convenient, reliable, and durable. Here are the key improvements that distinguish our model:

• Reinforced and extended discharge auger
• High-quality hydraulic motor with a serviceable (disassemblable) body
• Reliable 3-section hydraulic distributor, mounted on the rear tailgate
• Durable hydraulic cylinder, configured for smooth lifting/lowering of the auger
• Convenient sluice gate-half-board for fine flow regulation with a lock
• Durable seamless and thick-walled auger tube (casing)
• Wear-resistant polyurethane discharge spout (flexible guide hose)
• Reliable hydraulic system (hoses, fittings, throttle valve, and plugs)
• Auger with increased flighting (spiral) thickness
• High-quality and modern bearing assemblies
• Possibility of individual modernization

The main working component of the ZS-30M seeder loader is a reinforced discharge auger with increased flighting (spiral) thickness, which ensures its resistance to deformation. The standard auger diameter is 160 mm, which allows for a productivity of 12 to 30 tons per hour, but this parameter can be increased by individual order. The auger is housed in a durable seamless and thick-walled tube-casing, which guarantees the unit's longevity. The design provides a discharge height of up to 4.5 m and a reach of up to 2.9 m, allowing for the easy loading of any modern seed drills. A long and wear-resistant polyurethane spout (hose) is installed at the end of the auger for precise flow direction.

The loader's drive is powered by the hydraulic system of the base machine (dump truck or trailer). The hydraulic system of the ZS-30M seeder loader consists of a high-quality hydraulic motor with a serviceable (disassemblable) body, a reliable lift/lower hydraulic cylinder, high-pressure hoses, fittings, and other elements. All processes are controlled by a high-quality 3-section hydraulic distributor, mounted on the half-board for maximum operator convenience. An important detail is the presence of a throttle valve, which is designed to regulate and reduce the speed of the auger's lifting and lowering, making the movement smooth and precise.

The ZS-30M seeder loader is supplied in the form of a special half-board platform that completely replaces the standard rear tailgate. Its frame is made of 3 mm thick profile tube, and the box itself is made of 2.0 mm (lower part) and 1.5 mm (upper part) metal. The discharge opening is equipped with a convenient sluice gate with a lever and a locking handle, which allows for precise flow regulation. For safety, the auger moves in a guide frame, and in the transport position, it is additionally secured with a special locking pin.

Each of these engineering solutions is aimed at solving one main task - to ensure the maximum faultlessness and efficiency of the loader, both during the intense sowing campaign and when performing any other tasks of transloading bulk cargo. Such a comprehensive approach to modernization transforms the ZS-30M from Zavod Moroza into a universal and durable working tool, ready for the most diverse challenges.

ZS-30M Seeder Loader for KamAZ, MAZ, GAZ, ZIL, and PTS trailers

We understand that vehicles and requirements for the ZS-30M are unique, so we offer the model as a modular system that can be adapted to any need. The basis of our system is a special rear half-board with a built-in sluice gate, which we manufacture individually to the dimensions of your vehicle - whether it's a classic GAZ/ZIL/KamAZ or any other vehicle or trailer - for the most common models, we already have ready-made products, drawings, and solutions. The ZS-30M auger unit with a hydraulic drive is mounted directly onto this half-board, which performs the direct work of transloading the material. This approach allows us to offer several cooperation options so you can choose the most convenient and cost-effective one for you:

• Turnkey seeder loader The most popular option, where our specialists do everything - measurements, manufacturing, delivery, and installation
• Full kit for self-assembly We manufacture a full kit (half-board + auger unit) to your dimensions and send it to you with all the necessary instructions for self-installation
• Only the auger unit with hydraulics If the client has the ability and desire to independently modify their existing rear tailgate (cut a hatch, install mounts) - you can purchase only the loading mechanism itself (ZS-30M) with hydraulics from us

We are always open to dialogue to find the best and most cost-effective solution for your specific farm. Our engineers are ready to discuss any individual changes - from adapting the overall dimensions, length, and discharge height to installing an auger of increased productivity or integrating a seed treater, so that your ZS-30M seeder loader fits perfectly into your work processes.

Thus, the ZS-30M seeder loader from Zavod Moroza is a well-thought-out, reliable, and multifunctional tool that solves the key logistical tasks of a modern farm - from supporting the sowing campaign to transloading the harvest. The reinforced construction guarantees its durability, and the modular approach and flexibility in configuration allow it to be perfectly adapted to any of your equipment and needs. It is a rational choice that speeds up work, minimizes manual labor, and makes your farm more efficient and competitive.
