Gentle handling, precise plug seeding, and repeatable results across varieties. High SKU counts and tight seasonal windows leave no room for equipment that can't keep up.
Most plug-tray automation on the market comes from oversized European systems built for facilities that can dedicate huge floor space and budget to a full retrofit. Compact dibbling and precision handling equipment closes that gap for growers who need real automation without rebuilding the greenhouse around it.
High SKU counts and tight seasonal windows leave no room for equipment that needs a specialist to reconfigure. Simple, minimal-part-count builds keep mean time between failures high, and tool-free changeover plus configurable manifolds and variable-speed conveyors let one line move between plant architectures and pot sizes without a rebuild.
Energy costs and demand both swing hard by season, and peak transplanting periods routinely leave growers short on labor exactly when they need it most. Staged capital deployment means an operation can automate its single worst bottleneck first, usually repetitive potting and transplanting, rather than committing to one all-or-nothing system.
Automated watering tunnels paired with precise mechanical dibbling produce more even water distribution and seed placement than manual work can match, and growers running that combination report more uniform canopy development and less reliance on pesticides to compensate for inconsistent starts.
Working out your seeding, transplant and harvest dates by hand? Our free planner does that math for you, backward from every harvest date.
Try the free plannerOur tray equipment below is built around the same problem: precise, gentle handling of small-format plugs without the retrofit or price tag of an industrial line.

Automate your seeding process with precision. Affordable, scalable solutions for smaller and mid-sized operations.

Fast, thorough automated cleaning that eliminates the tedious task of manual tray washing.

Auto-feed cleaning for every format. Two 10x20 trays at a time, plus rafts, with the mobility kit included.

Manual entry level tray washer. Push trays through, pull them out clean. Less than half the cost of the Auto-Feed.
