Construction of a string roller
string roller it is made of a row of durable metal circles on which thick-walled, serrated flat bars with a thickness of at least 10 mm are placed. They are placed perpendicular or at an angle to the direction of travel of the agricultural machine. It is worth noting that these rods can be smooth or end with sharp teeth, which vary in arrangement and shape depending on the model. However, string shafts with serrated rods and circles are usually found.
What is the string roller intended for?
Due to its structure string shaft has gained incredible popularity in cultivation operations carried out in difficult conditions, where the soil is clay or stony and sandy. Its serrated strings perfectly compact such soil and at the same time break up hard clods of earth. As a result, a thin, perfectly crumbled, aerated and moist top layer of the soil is created in the field, with a compacted structure underneath, providing a more stable substrate for plants. For this reason, the string roller is intended for pre-sowing soil preparation after plowing, and especially for spot sowing of seeds.
What agricultural machines can a string roller be selected for?
Cultivation rollers they function as a separate component attached to the tractor, but they are also one of the main parts for soil amendment in other agricultural machines. They are usually connected to machines intended for cultivating and loosening the soil, i.e. a disc harrow, cultivator or cultivation unit. Thanks to the fact that agricultural machines are equipped with a string roller, the number of work passes in the field can be reduced. In this way, one pass with a heavy agricultural machine is enough to obtain properly prepared soil for sowing or planting. In addition, the reduced number of passes prevents the destruction of the top layer of arable soil and the appearance of plow soles due to wheel pressure.
