Strength, ease of use and reliability are key features of the HE-VA range of rolls and new heavy-duty ‘NG’ multi-spoke rings will further improve the resilience of all 2018 models.

The new generation rings are generally heavier and more robust and will be standard on all new HE-VA sets of rolls in 2018, from the entry level VIP rollers through to the 20.3m King Rolls.

Commenting James Woolway, OPICO managing director said: ‘The new NG rings are hard-wearing and have proven to be stronger and more resistant to breakages, giving our customers greater reassurance about the durability of their machines. They have been designed to cope with the demands of traditional and min-till cultivations across a range of soil types and have retained the time-proven qualities of long-established ring engineering.’

The new NG multi-spoke rings are the same weight or heavier than the previous designs fitted on HE-VA rolls (dependent on model). Cambridge only and Cambridge and Breaker styles will be available in the new design in three sizes:

• HD – 500mm & 510mm (20”) 8 Spoke rings
• HD Plus – 550mm & 560mm (22”) 9 Spoke rings
• XHD – 600mm & 620mm (24”) 10 Spoke rings

The NG Rings have a three year warrant.
