Description

From the nursery, trays of PlantTape transplants are loaded into bins and shipped to the planting site.  The PlantTape automatic transplanter can accommodate 68 trays of seedlings. At 840 seedlings per tray, the transplanter holds around 57,000 plants. As the transplanter is pulled through the field, 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.
