ROLLER-PLOUGH RANGE
  • The problem to be solved:
    Better adjustability, better soil shredding and ploughing stem remainders, achieving a 180o soil turn-up, developing a new-type coulter of higher efficiency and longer life-span, still greater savings in output and fuel, achieving a crop increase, further increase in the efficiency of environmental protection.
  • Definition:
    The roller plough is a device on the plough-stock of which, fastened to the plough beam through bolted junction, the share-beam with the extremely short twisted breast-board is built on and, in its continuance, the mould-board rollers are situated which play a substantial part is turning up and shredding the soil, rotating around a rotation axis. In front of the share-beam and the plough-iron, a toothed coulter is situated along with a pre-milling device, in a design that assists the most in the complete cultivation of a weedy soil with stem remainders in it. The plough does not support itself against the furrow wall through the plough cane plates but through a so-called plough cane wheel rotating around its shaft.
  • Presentation:
    The reason why we speak about a range of roller ploughs is that we can manufacture ploughs from the smallest size, which can be pulled by a man, up to the 12-sharebeam large-size plug with a plough width of 35 cm and a plough depth of 35 cm, in all variations, with the small ones and the large ones alike. The point of the plough is that its frictional energy loss is extremely low. At each point where a big frictional energy loss would emerge, parts rotating around their shafts are installed the frictional energy loss of which is the minimum. The slice of soil cut out by means of the plough-iron is slided up by the small-size breast-board to the mould-board rollers which, due to their special design, cut the soil, make it crumby and slide it out at a high speed onto the surface of the furrow. Consequently, the soil structure is crumby in the whole cross-section and of extremely good structural pattern in respect of sowing. The toothed coulter and the pre-milling device are of great importance which turn the stem remainders, manure and other plant remainders into the bottom of the furrow immediately before the share-beam, thereby ensuring a perfect solution to fertilising the result of which is the crop increase.

  • Application: Agriculture
  • Advantages:
    The advantages of the roller plough compared to the traditional plough are the cheaper and more efficient, more perfect cultivation of soil and the huge fuel savings and the protection of environment. Compared to the traditional plough, its output is by 30 to 60 % higher, while its fuel demand is by 29 to 54 % less which is still enhanced by additional fuel savings by the fact that it makes further soil cultivations after ploughing unnecessary in preparing the sowing and, after harvesting, it ploughs the stem remainders without any preliminary working on it. As a matter of fact, it makes the use of the stem-crusher, disc, ring roller and soil surface grading unnecessary. At the same time, as a result of good cultivation of soil, a crop increase of 10 to 30 % can be expected. Its environmental impact is extremely good.
