Not too much and not too little – localised reconsolidation
Roller range
To complete the seedbed, the loose soil is reconsolidated. This ensures better soil contact for the placed seed and smoother running of the coulters. The result is even greater precision.
With a large diameter of 500 to 600 mm, AMAZONE packers run much more smoothly and with less ground pressure than smaller rollers. Enclosed rollers, such as the wedge ring or and wedge ring with Matrix tyre profile are used on loose and light soil, as these provide better support than open rollers.
Structure of a wedge ring roller
1. Air cushion
2. Metal insert in the rubber to increase rigidity
3. Spacer ring with dirt-repellent surface
