With the DFW 580 double flex ring roller, Amazone is expanding its range of packer rollers for the Cenio and Cenius mounted cultivators and for the Catros mounted compact disc harrows. Thanks to its open design and a ring spacing of 280 mm, the new roller is suitable for use in a wide range of applications on both sandy and loamy soils.
The DFW 580 produces a high proportion of fine soil thanks to the continuous spring action of the rings and also provides effective reconsolidation, while maintaining a loose soil surface. With a small central tube diameter of 140 mm and an outer diameter of 580 mm, the double flex ring roller offers high through-passage on light sandy soils. The staggered arrangement of the rings guarantees the self-driving effect of the roller, especially on light soils.
Solid flex rings offer the advantage that they do not become clogged with soil, thereby preventing the weight of the roller from increasing. In addition, the solid rings reduce the carry-over of soil and weed seeds, thereby helping to improve field hygiene when working across different fields. Another advantage is the self-cleaning effect created by the constant flexing of the rings. This ensures reliable operation, even in wet and sticky soil conditions.
The optional harrow system results in even finer crumbling and more intensive levelling of the soil.
At the same time, the harrow system helps to improve weed control by pulling up emerging volunteer cereals and depositing them on the surface, where they shrivel up.
