Sowing seeds for seedlings may seem like a simple task, but in practice, manual sowing is not only slow but also prone to issues such as missed spots, double sowing, and uneven distribution.
Maintaining consistent daily sowing efficiency is particularly challenging when dealing with large volumes of seedlings using manual labor alone.
The 2BP-800 Drum Seeder was designed specifically to address these challenges. It automates key stages of the seedling process—including substrate filling, sowing, and soil covering—thereby reducing the need for manual labor and streamlining the entire sowing operation.
A single machine capable of performing multiple seedling-raising steps
The 2BP-800 utilizes a drum-style seeding mechanism; once a seedling tray enters the machine, it undergoes the various seeding stages in sequence.
The entire process—from filling trays with substrate and sowing seeds to the final step of covering them with soil—is seamlessly integrated.
For seedling nurseries, vegetable farms, and agricultural cooperatives that need to process large numbers of trays daily, this continuous operation method is far more efficient than manual, tray-by-tray seeding.
High-speed sowing, suitable for large-scale seedling production
The 2BP-800 achieves a sowing efficiency of up to 1,000 trays per hour; the specific speed can be adjusted based on the seed type, seedling trays, and actual production conditions.
When hundreds or even thousands of trays need to be sown daily, using automated sowing equipment significantly reduces the manual labor involved in moving trays, placing seeds, and applying covering soil.
It eliminates the need for personnel to repeatedly perform the same tasks, resulting in a more consistent overall seedling production process.
More uniform sowing with reduced human error
One of the biggest challenges with manual sowing is the difficulty of ensuring consistency across every tray.
Issues such as inconsistent seed quantities—too many or too few—and missed spots can easily occur.
The 2BP-800 utilizes a drum-based sowing mechanism to control seed deposition, achieving a sowing accuracy of ≥98% and ensuring consistent results for every tray.
Uniformity in sowing is crucial for crops that require large-scale seedling production, such as vegetables and flowers.
Simple operation; no complex training required.
The equipment utilizes a Siemens PLC and servo control system, with every stage of the process running according to preset programs.
Staff can handle daily operations after only brief training.
Which seeds is it suitable for?
The 2BP-800 drum-type seeder is well-suited for:
Vegetables: Chili peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, scallions, onions, chives, lettuce, celtuce, celery, Napa cabbage, baby cabbage, etc.
Melons and fruits: Cucumbers, sweet melons, cantaloupes, watermelons, pumpkins, corn, etc.
Medicinal herbs and flowers: Atractylodes (white and black), chrysanthemums, tulips, stocks (Matthiola incana), etc.
If you are producing seedlings on a large scale and need to repeatedly perform tasks such as tray filling, seeding, and soil covering every day, then automated seeding equipment is a more suitable choice than relying solely on manual labor.
Why choose the 2BP-800?
Ultimately, the goal of purchasing a seedling seeder is to reduce manual labor while making the sowing process faster and more consistent.
The 2BP-800 drum seeder requires no complex operation and is ideal for continuous seedling sowing tasks. For seedling production facilities operating at scale, it minimizes repetitive manual work and facilitates standardized production.
If you are looking for a drum seeder suitable for batch seedling production, the 2BP-800 is a practical choice.
