Weeding machine Rotofilm for mulched ridges

Weeding on the edge of mulch

ROTOFILM: THE WEEDING MACHINE FOR RIDGE or BEDS WITH PLASTIC MULCH

Rotofilm weeding machine with fixed frame or with hydraulic side shift with parallelograms working on the side of the bed or mulched ridge

 

ROTOFILM WEEDING MACHINE is composed by a fixed frame 240 cm with 3-point hitch of the tractor with one or more ROTOFILM parallelograms with one pair of Rotofilm rotors Ø 350 mm with anti-intrusion rod per row, with 01 300 mm (standard) inter-row weeding soc per row and one pair of ridgers; 02 support wheels d. 320 mm with depth adjustment.

Technical features

1. Fixed Frame, with adjustable height wheels/fixed with no drive

4. Hydraulic shifting frame, fixed wheels, joystick driving and operator seat.

  • The frame consists of 2 sections: a fixed part attached to the tractor and a second driven by hydraulic cylinders.
  • Steering via a joystick (which can be removed) moves the elements on the second frame.
  • Suitable for heavier machines.
  • An operator is required if there is no automatic camera.

ROTOFILM ELEMENT STANDARD

  1. Rotofilm rotors: for working the sides of the mound or mulched ridge without ruining it.
  2. Track loosener hoe: to move and eradicate the track and lift the soil.
  3. Pair of ridges or deflector: to mound up the soil.

The elements consist of a parallelogram with parallels, a crank-operated variable load spring and a spar with 3 housings for carrying various tools and accessories: a pair of opposing steel Rotofilm rotors with hermetic bearing, a rear dovetailed hoe rear dovetail for working in the inter-row or adjustable tamping plough and accessories such as a pair of deflectors for tamping the plant. The 2 opposing rotors work above the cultivated row, guaranteeing constant pressure and achieving greater precision and proximity compared to an inter-row parallelogram, where uneven ground can accentuate the drift effect exacerbated by excessive steering manoeuvres.
The conformation of the parallelogram allows vertical movement perpendicular to the ground, acting directly on the pair of rotors. The rotors thus positioned act as a level by avoiding a support wheel.
