Crop
Plug trays and starts by the thousand. Germination consistency decides everything downstream, and transplanting is where the hours go.
Coarse, un-automated watering displaces seed and media right when the crop is most vulnerable, and cleaning propagation media and reusable plug flats by hand is one of the biggest labor sinks in the whole operation. Low-cost, high-pressure sanitization built specifically for this stage addresses both at once.
Delicate substrates like wool pads, peat moss, and organic compost don't hold up to generic pressure washing. Dual-misting bars and spinning turbo nozzles clean and hydrate without breaking down the media, and adjustable receiver beds and guide rails carry that across tray formats, from standard North American sizes to metric 40 by 60 centimeter flats.
Small propagation operations regularly get priced out during their own growth phase by proprietary, single-source automation. Open-architecture equipment built from off-the-shelf components keeps long-term costs down and puts professional-grade germination equipment within reach of farms that would otherwise be locked out.
Manually scrubbing, sanitizing, and pre-soaking starter cells on a loop is a constant drain on labor. Mechanized, multi-stage pressure washing compresses that multi-hour routine into minutes, and in continuous-use trials, pairing computer vision distribution analysis with automated sanitization has held product loss below 5%.
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, especially the Tabletop Seeder and Tray Washer, is built around the germination-stage problems above: gentle enough for delicate media, fast enough to keep up with the labor that used to go into scrubbing cells by hand.

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.
