Series Overview
The perfect seedbed is made while ploughing.
The Packomat® is an integrated soil packer which is directly coupled to the plough. This combination is both efficient and environmentally friendly. By applying a pressure of 1,000 kg, the wedge-shaped discs cut their way through the furrows, crush clods, push down stones, level and pack the soil. This ensures a quick re-establishment of the capillarity water conductivity.
Features
100% Integrated packer Packomat follows the plough from transport to work. Compared to other packers, the Packomat offers high productivity gains. Features
Easy handling From the tractor cabin, it is easy to position the Packomat for transport or work or even lifted for ploughing on field bounderies. Features
Optimised levelling Choice of front harrows to crush clods and ring diameters to re-consolidate the soil. Features
Maximised profits Packomat contributes to the balance of the plough in work. No extra pulling forces are needed and hence no extra fuel. The landside pressure is actually reduced and therefore the wear of the landsides.
Ploughing and re-consolidating are two operations carried out in only one pass with no extra cost. Packomat contributes to maximise profitability. Features
Efficient Packomat works in any ploughing conditions. Soil preparation can be extended to seedbed. Available from 4 to 12 furrow Kverneland ploughs, Packomat is an efficient tool. No need for extra manpower for a safe transport. Features
Agronomic benefits The combination of ploughing and re-consolidating is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Soils are loosened, organic matters are incorporated to enrich the soils. Weeds are controlled mechanically. The elevation of temperature of the ploughed soil is actually positive. The associated water evaporation is limited by the immediate re-consolidation by the Packomat rings. Water capilarity is hence re-established for the benefit of the soil life.
