LUPUS Prism Rollers – Investing in Uniform Emergence and Higher Yields

Choosing the right roller is one of the most critical agrotechnical decisions on any farm. Many farmers make the mistake of using traditional Cambridge rollers on heavy clay soils, leading to dangerous surface crusting. Our LUPUS Prism rollers are specialized tools designed for those who don’t look for the cheapest solutions, but for machines that are robust, heavy, and effective.

Why Prism Rollers outperform Cambridge on Clay?

Unlike the Cambridge roller, which creates a uniform, compacted surface prone to cracking on heavy soils, prism technology works selectively:

• Deep Consolidation: The rings effectively compact the soil in the seed zone, restoring capillary action and ensuring access to moisture.
• Surface Protection: The sharp edges of the rings leave a crumbly top-layer structure that is resistant to slaking and ensures excellent gas exchange.
• “Duvet” Effect: The seed is placed on a firm base and covered with a soft, oxygenated layer – the ideal environment for pre-sowing cultivation.

Key Benefits for Your Farm:

• Water Management (Mulch Effect): By breaking the capillaries just above the sowing zone, the roller retains soil moisture 15–20% longer than smooth rollers.
• Stimulating Tillering (Golden Hoof Effect): The machine generates 305 pressure points per m², imitating the pressure of sheep hooves. This mechanical stimulus triggers cytokinin release, forcing the plant to build a denser stand and a powerful root system.
• Harvest Safety: The roller effectively presses stones deep into the soil, protecting your combine harvester from costly breakdowns.
• Clean Work: All axles are aligned, eliminating plant damage and soil structure destruction during tight turns on headlands.

Prism Rollers with Hydraulic Leveling Board (WPS Series)

For farmers seeking maximum efficiency in a single pass, we have developed a version equipped with a hydraulically adjustable crossboard. This solution transforms the roller into a multi-functional tillage tool.

• 3-Cylinder System: Allows for 100% folding and unfolding from the tractor cab, without the need for manual maneuvering.
• Leveling Board with Hardened Tines: Aggressively levels the field and breaks up large clods before the rings pass over.
• Flexibility: If conditions require, you can raise the leveling board completely and work with the roller alone. The board can also be detached, leaving you with a heavy-duty hydraulic frame.

Polish Quality You Can Rely On

Don’t compare us with cheap competition. At LUPUS, we don’t cut corners on materials:

• Armored Frame: We use certified steel. Frame profiles are at least 8 mm thick, and key structural plates are 15 mm and 20 mm.
• High-Grade Castings: We use only high-quality European cast iron rings, not cheap Indian or low-grade substitutes.
• Wide Wheels: Standard equipment includes 400/60-15.5 tires, ensuring stability and preventing the machine from sinking in soft ground.

Technical Specifications and Weight Comparison

Choose the model tailored to your soil and tractor power. Remember: a smaller width on a larger ring means “heavy caliber” for the toughest clay conditions.
