This document describes the POWERTMAT PM-GGS-520M combustion glazing machine, also referred to as a tiller or rotary cultivator, designed for work in home gardens and plots. It is not suitable for professional use in agriculture.
Function Description
The PM-GGS-520M is a manual agricultural machine designed for one-man operation. Its primary function is soil cultivation. The working unit consists of arched or hooked knives mounted on a rotary shaft, which cut out billets of soil. The soil loosening intensity can be adjusted by varying the rotational speed of the roller and the translational speed according to the required depth of cultivation. Rapid rotation of the shaft can cause destruction of the lumpy structure of the soil. The device is intended for loosening and cultivating soil, preparing seedbeds, and mixing fertilizers or compost into the soil.
