Cenius mulch cultivator – the universal solution
For smaller and medium sized farms
Cenius – the new mounted generation in cultivation!
More than one third of all work in arable crop produc-
tion is soil tillage and sowing. Considerably increasing
costs for current assets and the altered guide lines for
diesel oil reimbursement further aggravate the situation.
The necessity to reduce costs is getting more obvious
than ever – cost saving soil cultivation methods gain
more and more attractiveness.
For mechanisation smaller and medium sized farms
look for one implement of universal operational range.

The Cenius mulch cultivator offers the solution since
it is suitable for operation in shallow stubble working
through to top soil deep loosening. With the aid of
different versions of equipment the implement can
be adapted to nearly all local conditions. Cenius in
combination with AMAZONE KE rotary harrow or
the AMAZONE KG rotary cultivator with Pack Top
sowing technology offers the ideal introduction into
conserving soil cultivation.

Functions
All functions in one view
Cenius mulch cultivator – one implement, three functions
1. Loosening and mixing with three rows of spiral spring tines
2. Levelling with concave discs arranged in two rows with integrated overload safety
3. Re-consolidation and depth control via different rollers
Make use of the Cenius for successful arable
crop production – operational range XXL
3 Shallow stubble working immediately after harvest
3 Medium deep soil tillage and intensive mixing of crop residues
3 Top soil deep loosening after root crop or where compacted soil prevails
3 Seed bed preparation in spring for sugar beet and maize
3 Incorporation of solid dung and semi liquid manure

Operational steps

Loosening and mixing Levelling and crumbling –

Concave discs arranged in two rows

Spring tines Rubber sprung mountings for the safe depth guidance
The spiral spring tines arranged in three rows in the
main frame provide the even incorporation of straw
residue into the soil surface. The line spacing of only
230 mm allows for full area work even on dry and hard
soil.
Tine spacings of 750 mm within and between the rows
provide good blockage free material flow.

Two kinds of spiral spring tines are available, depen-

ding on the local conditions. The 35 mm Ø square
Square steel tines
steel tines of the Cenius Special are suitable for light
to medium soils with less stones and for heavy, stony
soils the 45 mm Ø round steel tines of the Cenius
Super are used.

An excellent levelling of the worked soil horizon is

different shares. Available, depending on the range of
operation and working depth, stubble shares, inver-
sion shares and narrow shares. The 170 mm wide
stubble share is especially suited both for shallow
stubble working and also for seed bed preparation
in spring season. The 75 mm wide inversion share
should be used for the even and intensive straw mixing
in medium soil layers. For the top soil deep loosening
after harvest, for example root crop, the 50 mm wide Inversion share

the pre-condition for an even re-consolidation pro-
vided by the concave discs arranged in two rows.
Fixing the individual discs on sprung rubber moun-
tings allow for individual soil adaptation and yet, at
the same time, is the best protection against over-
load. Of course, the disc bearings are maintenance-
free. With the aid of square eccentric pins the disc
gangs can be set centrally to different operational
intensities. Adjustable side discs ensure the clean
matching to the next bout.
