Continuous process for the deep-penetration improvement of soils by means of a bucket wheel

摘要

The invention relates to a continuous process for the improvement of soils by means of an appliance having a bucket wheel, in particular a bucket-wheel excavator, which, with minimal soil movement, mixes a soil-improving substrate to the depth necessary for deep-rooting plants, simultaneously loosens and aerates the soil and thereby increases the soil fertility. This is achieved, according to the invention, in that the necessary substrate is applied to the soil to be improved, and the substrate and soil are picked up in the appropriate thickness by means of buckets, intermixed and thrown off in front of the cutting circle of the bucket wheel via a conveyor belt arranged laterally relative to the bucket wheel and running in the clockwise direction.
