Razor Rings

Cousins of Emneth developed 650mm diameter razor rings as an weight saving alternative to cast press rings and standard rear attachments on heavy-duty cultivators.

Manufactured using a unique process (patent pending), the razor ring is formed from two dished discs fitted face to face to form a press ring shape with a relatively sharp leading edge. The rings are then mounted onto a 275mm diameter continuous tubular axle to form a rigid structure. The whole assembly run on bearings (mounted on the outside) and fitted with adjustable close scrapers to keep the rings free from soil build-up.

Each razor ring has a flat angular profile for a clod cutting action with the leading edge while the broader angular profile gives a firming and shaping effect. The shape is efficient and effective on varying soil types, leaving a continuous ridging profile and consistent consolidation across the working width.

Razor rings are available on:

V-Form Soil Looseners
Fitted as a rear attachment, the rings effectively control the working depth giving the cultivating effect of a heavier cast ring without the excess weight. The suction from subsoil legs is dispersed onto the rings thereby intensifying the cultivation effect. Weight 250kg/m.

Springboard Pressses
Razor rings simplify press maintenance as they cannot come loose on the axle, break or require removal for bearing replacement. Photo shows 4m press with 2 rows of razor rings, springboard levelling system and rigid leading tines.

Front Presses
Razor rings are the flexible alternative to the traditional choice of heavy broad profile cast rings and narrow profiles which may cut clods on heavy soil but sink in lighter conditions. Photo shows 3m rigid front press with razor rings and springboard levelling system.

Retrofit option
Razor rings can retrofitted to enhance existing equipment.
