Using PlantTape system you can double or even triple the seedling throughout compared to a traditional greenhouse using celled nursery trays.
Plant Tape - Automated transplanting system at its best
Using PlantTape system you can double or even triple the seedling throughout compared to a traditional greenhouse using celled nursery trays.
Line-to-line spacing can be altered in the field to allow for many different bed configurations. Growers can plant fields with different bed configurations on the same day with some mechanical adjustments using simple tools. Plant-to-plant spacing can be altered on the fly via a console touch-screen.
PlantTape’s planter modules are driven by a hydraulic system. The hydraulic drive allows consistent spacing, even in challenging conditions, unlike chain-and-sprocket ground-driven transplanters.
In seconds you can adjust the plant spacing anywhere between 5-25 inches and in quarter inch increments.
Speed of transplanting is recommended around 5-8 km/h for normal operations.
The PlantTape planter is fast. So fast, we think it’s the world’s fastest transplanter. We took it up to 20mph, just to prove it could still maintain precision planting at that speed.
Employees can be taught to operate the PlantTape automated transplanter in as little as 15 minutes.
No special skills or training is required; the PlantTape system is that simple.
We pride ourselves on the operational simplicity of this extremely advanced transplanter.
From the nursery, trays of PlantTape transplants are loaded into bins and shipped to the planting site.
The PlantTape transplanter can accommodate 68 trays of seedlings. At 840 seedlings per tray, the transplanter holds up to 57,000 plants.
As the transplanter moves through the paddock, its planter modules pull the PlantTape material from the trays. Each tray’s tape is clipped to the next to provide a seamless transplanting pull-through from tray to tray.
The planter module cuts the tape between plants and places each seedling into the soil according to precise plant spacing and depth settings.
