Abstract:
A meter roller for an agricultural metering system includes a first segment having a first set of flutes and a corresponding first set of recesses. The meter roller also includes a second segment having a second set of flutes and a corresponding second set of recesses. A first aggregate volume of the first set of recesses is substantially equal to a second aggregate volume of the second set of recesses, and a first longitudinal end of the first segment contacts a second longitudinal end of the second segment along a contact surface. In addition, the second segment is circumferentially offset from the first segment such that each flute of the first set of flutes is at least partially aligned with each recess of the second set of recesses at the contact surface.
