Description

Knife Roller for Cover Crops and Maize (3.0 – 6.0 m) – LUPUS

The LUPUS knife roller is a specialized implement for the aggressive shredding of biomass and tough crop residues. The machine acts as the first line of defense against the European corn borer, destroying larval habitats and accelerating the mineralization of organic matter. Thanks to high-speed operation, it precisely cuts maize and oilseed rape stalks, as well as dense cover crops, significantly facilitating subsequent cultivation passes.

Full field coverage – a design without uncut strips

A key structural advantage of the LUPUS knife roller is the precise arrangement of the cutting segments. The two rows of rotors are designed and positioned in such a way as to completely eliminate unworked gaps in the field.

Thanks to this solution, the organic mass is shredded evenly across the entire width of the machine, leaving no uncut strips of land. This guarantees identical mineralization conditions for the whole field and makes subsequent work with trailing machines much easier.

Standard Equipment (Base)

By choosing the basic version, you receive a machine ready for intensive work, equipped as standard with:

Two cutting rotors (Ø 380 mm): Guarantee an extremely high number of cuts per minute.
Six segments per rotor: A modular design that greatly facilitates servicing and component replacement directly in the field.
8 mm Hardox blades: The wear-resistant blades are sharpened on both sides and reversible, which doubles their lifespan before needing to purchase new parts.
Steel roller guards: Effectively protect the tractor’s hood and components from stone impacts and thrown plant debris.
Road lighting: Ensures full safety and compliance with regulations during transport on public roads.
Options: 500 kg or 1000 kg ballast, steering headstock, spiral blades.

Tractor protection: Why choose a steering headstock?

A steering headstock is a crucial element protecting the tractor’s linkage system, especially when operating on the front linkage. A special pendulum mechanism built into the system absorbs excessive dynamic loads and allows the machine to freely follow terrain contours. This solution translates into perfect steering stability for the tractor-implement combination and drastically extends the service life of both machines.

Technological Analysis: Choosing working blades

The choice of the cutting blade profile depends on the specifics and agronomic priorities of the farm:

Straight Blades (Standard): An extremely economical solution thanks to the segmented design – in the event of hitting a stone, only the specific module is replaced, not the entire rotor. The reversibility of the blades and the aggressiveness of the cross-cut make them a universal choice for tough stalks.
Spiral Blades (Option): The patented sinusoidal arrangement ensures continuous, smooth contact with the ground, completely eliminating vibrations transmitted to the tractor. The reduced rotor diameter (320 mm) allows for higher rotational speeds, guaranteeing even more precise blending of organic mass.

Working parameters: To achieve maximum shredding efficiency, we recommend working at operating speeds above 12 km/h, at a shallow depth of up to 3 cm.

Rigid models 3.0 m

A compact solution with a 3.0 m working width in a rigid version. It is a stable construction designed for intensive work, often paired with a disc harrow or cultivator on the rear linkage. This model is also available in the PRO version with a spiral blade arrangement and a terrain-following steering headstock.

Hydraulic folding models 4.0 – 6.0 m

Machines with widths from 4 to 6 meters are based on a universal hydraulically folding frame design. This allows for quick and safe transport between fields and high area performance. The hydraulic system guarantees a smooth transition from transport to working position without leaving the cab.
