PlantTape’s automated transplanter is efficient, adjustable, and easy to use.
The world’s most adaptable automatic transplanter
Where other automated transplanters rely on complex computer systems, actuators, and sensors, 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.
Additionally, the PlantTape transplanter is crop-agnostic, meaning it will pull whatever plant species is in the nursery trays and place them precisely into the ground.
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.
PlantTape is an automated transplanting system ideal for agriculture producers aiming for increased efficiency and productivity.
Customer provided seed is scheduled to be sown into PlantTape material, which is a blend of peat, coco, and vermiculite between two layers of paper. Once the seed is sown into PlantTape, the material is cut, folded and placed into trays holding 840 seeds each, maximizing transportation and greenhouse efficiencies.
The sown PlantTape material is palletized, wrapped and labeled for immediate delivery to a commercial nursery or farming operation. PlantTape material is always kept in dry, low humidity environments to prevent seed germination until the desired propagation time.
At 840 plants per tray, PlantTape offers the ability to maximize nursery space with more plants per square foot compared to conventional transplants. The dense plant population improves transportation efficiencies when moving plants and the quick growing cycle creates an opportunity for increased nursery throughput under the existing infrastructure. PlantTape transplants can be planted at any stage of growth allowing for flexibility in the planting schedule when attempting to mitigate the impact of adverse weather.
Designed to bridge the gap between automation and speed, PlantTape offers growers a transplanting system unmatched in production capacity, labor reduction, and ease of operation. PlantTape provides the benefits of automation without the complexity found in other automated systems. The simplicity of PlantTape provides a reliable, proven solution for growers looking to maximize efficiencies at planting, while increasing uniformity and yield. The reduction in planting labor can be used to cut overhead expenses or allow for reallocation of labor to other responsibilities around the farm.
