Description

The world’s most adaptable transplanter Where other automated transplanters rely on complex computer systems, actuators, and sensors, the planting mechanism for the PlantTape 3-point automated transplanter is 100% mechanical. 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. Hydraulic-drive planter modules 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 that often slip or skip plants in sandy or slick soil. PlantTape’s hydraulic drive also enables precision planting far beyond that of ground-drive transplanters. Where a ground-drive transplanter might allow plant spacing of 2” intervals, PlantTape’s transplanter allows for extreme granularity with quarter inch increments in spacing. Easy transplanter learning curve 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.
