X-PRESS CT Shredding rollers
The X-Press CT 4.5-8.0 shredding rollers shred stalk residues and green manure plants after harvest.
It is mainly used after harvest, before tillage.

Key features
What makes X-PRESS CT shredding rollers different?
NorAn X-PRESS CT rollers feature a robust frame design, greasable hinges, heavy-duty reinforced bearings and high-quality HARDOX knives for reliable, cost- and time-efficient forage crushing.
In addition, the soil tillage implement does not require a PTO drive, has a higher than average weight per blade and does not include any gearboxes.
So the operation of the shredding roller is very economical.
Advantages of the X-PRESS shredding roller:
- roller segments do a perfect job under all circumstances;
- no daily maintenance is required, and the blades have a lifespan of thousands of hectares, guaranteeing a long service life;
- more powerful shredding with a smaller diameter;
- flexible weight distribution;
- simple folding and unfolding.
X-Press System weight compensation system
The NorAn X-Press CT cylinder is equipped with a special X-Press System weight compensation system.
It was designed by placing a spring in a case in the middle frame, and the working cylinder feet responsible for opening the cylinder connect to this preloaded spring.
In the working position, these springs are used to transfer weight from the heavier section in the middle – which is heavier due to the wheel structure and traction mechanism – to the outer cylinder sections for a completely even weight distribution.
This way, you can be sure that you will get perfect shredding all over the working width.
Flexible frame structure
In designing the frame structure of the X-Press CT, great care was taken to ensure that the cylinder tracks the terrain as perfectly as possible.
This was achieved by suspending the wing sections at the central hinge point, and further enhanced by the fact that the working rollers are not fixed to the central frame but connected to the X-Press system.
This allowed us to further increase the wing sections’ freedom of movement.
The extreme position shown in the picture is easily taken by the X-Press CT frame structure, unlike the structure of cylinders made by competitors, which are shown in red.
It is clearly seen that the central section of the „pusher” cylinderless roller structures press the ground more than the rollers on the wing.
In the other case, where the opening is provided by a work roller and the ends of the work roller are attached to the wing section, the structure follows the terrain better, but due to the hinges on the wing edges, it is able to track the terrain to a limited extent, and in extreme cases, shredding can be very heterogeneous in the working width.
So, it is definitely worthwhile to choose the frame structure of your future cylinder carefully.
Reinforced premium bearings
The bearing housing is made of ductile cast iron which has more than two and a half times the tensile strength of grey cast iron.
A unique six-lobe seal on the outside of the bearing housing and a thermal seal on the inside keep dirt out.
A locking pin on the outer ring of the bearing prevents it from rotating and ensures that one of the lubrication slots always faces the greasing hole.
Water fillable roller bodies
All NorAn shredding rollers can be easily refilled with water or oil if necessary.
This allows for enhancing the efficiency of shredding in extremely dry years, whereas in wetter conditions, the roller can be lightened by draining the water to avoid harmful compaction of the soil.
Unbeatable work quality
The NorAn X-Press shredding roller is an efficient solution for shredding sunflower, rape or sweet corn residues.
Advanced green manure plants can cause big problems before ploughing or cultivating, but the X-Press roller can crush them without leaving any problems for soil work.
Thanks to the innovative design of the roller bodies, in addition to cutting the stalks while working, the blades also penetrate the soil and perform a semi-value soil work.
Therefore, the X-Press roller is also suitable for stubble ploughing for grains.

Of course.
All our towed rollers have the same frame, so the shredder rolling can be easily fitted with both cast rings and crossboard smoothers.
Thanks to the unique 500 mm roller diameter, the blades lock together at a greater angle than their larger diameter (8-900mm) counterparts, and the smaller diameter means that the NorAn shredding rollers get stuffed with mud much later.
You can run your shredding roller until it is half-wet without any problems.
Sunflower and rapeseed stubble residues can be shredded with high efficiency even with green stalks.
Green manure plants up to 1.2-1.5 m height can be crushed without problems with the NorAn roller.
It can shred 60-80% of corn stalks depending on the stalk weight.
In addition to shredding, the NorAn roller also performs a „semi-value” soil work at working speeds above 10-12 km/h.
So you can even use the roller for ultra-shallow ploughing, thanks to the aggressive angularity of the blades, which lift the top 2-4 cm of the soil as it leaves the ground.
