Vertical coulter – efficient soil treatment
The vertical blade is a key accessory mounted on the front of agricultural machinery, such as plows, subsoilers, or combine tillers. Its core design concept is to achieve efficient, low-disturbance cutting of the tillage layer by vertically penetrating the soil. Unlike traditional rotary tillage or ploughing, the vertical blade focuses on severing crop roots, breaking up the plow base, and improving soil structure, creating ideal conditions for subsequent seeding and crop growth. It is an indispensable tool in modern conservation tillage and precision agriculture.
1、Efficient Root Cutting and Residue Removal
Sharp cutting edge and optimized angle: The specially designed cutting edge and ground entry angle easily cut through roots and surface residues of tough crops like corn and rice, effectively preventing entanglement and ensuring smooth, continuous operation.
2、Effectively breaks up the plow base and deepens the tillage layer
Vertical deep tillage: The vertical blade cuts vertically into the soil, effectively breaking up the hardened plow base formed by long-term shallow tillage.
3、Minimizes soil disturbance and maintains moisture content
Compared to a rotary tiller, a vertical blade causes minimal soil disturbance. It simply cuts the soil rather than breaking it up or rolling it. This minimizes evaporation and is particularly suitable for use in arid and semi-arid regions.
4、Superior Durability and Reliability
High-Quality Materials: The blade is forged from high-strength alloy steel (such as 60Si2Mn and 65Mn), offering both high strength and excellent toughness.
Advanced Heat Treatment: The cutting edge undergoes a partial quenching and tempering process, ensuring extreme wear resistance while maintaining impact resistance to prevent chipping or breakage.
Surface treatment: Some models can be equipped with wear-resistant welding layer or tungsten carbide spraying, which can extend the service life several times in harsh working conditions such as sandy and gravel ground.
