PACKER PRINCIPLE

TOOLS FOR RE-CONSOLIDATION PACKER PRINCIPLE

The soil packers are also called furrow presses. Single or double row rollers, they are pulled while ploughing. Positioned beside the plough, they re-consolidate the plough furrow while the soil still contain moisture. Kverneland soil packers suit different soils conditions and local customs. One can choose among 30° (Packomat) to 50° heavy cast iron rings shape. Their diameter is equally important when it comes to the levelling of the soil surface. 700 and 900 mm rings have proved to be the most popular for the models SP, DP, FP, TP. For the Packomat, 480 and 600 mm rings give the best results. The ring profile compacts the soil from the top down to the ploughing horizon. A crumbling roller with 550 mm diameter is available to crumble the top layer, hence limiting erosion, and to create a seedbed. The packer rings consolidate the freshly ploughed land in order to reach a better soil structure. Kverneland’s packers enable soil re-consolidation, seedbed preparation, crumbling and levelling of the plough furrows. The soil is hence ready for a fast and good plant growth.
