Stop Wasting Seed! How the RRV Seed Disk Prevents Leaks and Saves You Money

RRV sesame seed metering disk

When you’re planting small seeds like canola or sesame, every seed counts. But what many growers don’t realize is just how much seed is quietly lost inside the meter itself. Leaks, poor sealing, and improper singulation can all lead to wasted seed.

That’s where the RRV Seed Disk changes the game.

The Hidden Cost of Seed Meter Leaks

Traditional seed disks aren’t designed with small seeds in mind. Their cell size, rotation speed, and sealing surfaces often allow seed to slip through the system unintentionally. That means you’re losing seed before it even reaches the furrow.

Over time, that loss adds up. With today’s seed prices, even small inefficiencies can translate into significant dollars per acre.

Built to Seal, Built to Perform

The RRV Seed Disk was engineered specifically to solve this problem. At the core of its design is a 90-cell disk paired with a precision Wear Strip. This combination helps create a tighter seal within the seed meter, preventing leaks and ensuring that every seed is accounted for.

Instead of seed slipping past worn or poorly matched components, the Wear Strip keeps everything tight and controlled which reduces waste while extending the life of the disk.

Precision You Can See in the Field

Beyond eliminating leaks, the RRV system improves overall planting performance. The 90-cell design allows the disk to turn slower than traditional 45-cell options, maintaining accuracy even at higher ground speeds of up to 6 mph.

The integrated mechanical Knock-Out wheel ensures each cell clears properly, pushing out any stuck seed or debris. The result? Consistent singulation, fewer skips and doubles, and a more uniform crop stand.

Simple Packages, Flexible Setup

Every planter setup is different, which is why the RRV Seed Disk is available in multiple packages:

  • Box Fill Package – Canola Disk, Knock-Out Wheel, Wear Strip
  • CCS Package – Adds a Mini Hopper Screen
  • CCS Me5 Package – Includes two Mini Hopper Screens

These options make it easy to match your equipment and get the most out of your system.

The Bottom Line

If your current setup is leaking seed, you’re losing money. The RRV Seed Disk is designed to stop that loss at the source, delivering better sealing, better singulation, and better results in the field.
