Introduction: Traditional manual seedling raising—characterized by high costs, low efficiency, and inconsistent quality—can no longer meet the demands of modern agriculture. The 2BP-1200 automatic drum-type seedling sowing line utilizes advanced vacuum-suction precision sowing technology to automate complex processes at the touch of a button. Adopting this equipment reduces labor costs, boosts production efficiency more than tenfold, and ensures highly uniform seedling emergence, making it an ideal solution for the transformation and upgrading of large-scale seedling production facilities.
Is manual sowing holding back the growth of your seedling business? For commercial seedling enterprises and large-scale growers, traditional manual production methods face mounting challenges:
❌️ High labor costs — Tasks such as soil filling, dibbling, sowing, covering, and watering require significant manual labor. As labor costs rise, the pressure on traditional production models intensifies.
❌️ Low production efficiency — Large-scale operations require processing vast numbers of seedling trays daily; however, manual processing speeds are limited, making it difficult to meet modern agriculture’s demands for high output and rapid delivery.
❌️ Inconsistent sowing results — Variations in operator experience and performance can lead to missed seeds, double sowing, uneven sowing depths, and irregular seedling growth, ultimately compromising seedling quality and subsequent crop performance.
❌️ Seed waste and increased production costs — Especially with high-value seeds, every instance of missed or repeated sowing drives up production costs.
An automated production line replacing traditional manual seedling raising processes!
Our 2BP-1200 automatic drum-type seedling sowing line integrates multiple independent steps of the traditional seedling raising process into a single automated system: automatic substrate tray filling → automatic dibbling (hole pressing) → precision sowing → automatic soil covering → automatic watering → automatic tray stacking.
It eliminates reliance on manual experience, achieving stable and efficient seedling production through mechanization and standardization.
It helps seedling enterprises reduce labor dependency, improve sowing precision, boost production efficiency, and ensure uniform seedling growth.
Key Advantages:
1) Compatible with various crops to meet diverse seedling raising needs
A single machine handles multiple seed types, offering a wide range of applications.
Leafy vegetables: Chili peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, scallions, onions, Chinese chives, lettuce, celtuce, celery, Napa cabbage, baby cabbage, etc.
Melons and fruits: Cucumbers, sweet melons, Hami melons, watermelons, pumpkins, corn, etc.
Medicinal herbs and flowers: Atractylodes (Baizhu and Cangzhu), chrysanthemums, tulips, stocks (Matthiola incana), etc.
2) Drum-type negative-pressure precision sowing system
The equipment utilizes advanced drum-type automatic vacuum-suction sowing technology. Seeds are individually picked up by suction holes on the drum via negative pressure and precisely released when the drum rotates to the corresponding tray cell.
Compared to traditional manual broadcasting, the machine achieves a sowing precision of ≥98%, making it particularly suitable for crops that require high sowing accuracy.
3）High-efficiency production, up to 1,200 trays per hour
Designed for large-scale seedling nurseries, the equipment utilizes a continuous automated production method, achieving a maximum output of 1,200 trays per hour. A single automated line replaces repetitive manual labor, thereby boosting overall production efficiency.
4) High-quality core components ensuring long-term, stable operation
To guarantee stability during long-term continuous production, the 2BP-1200 incorporates components from established industry brands.
Control System:
Inovance PLC and servo system
Core Electrical Components:
Siemens (Germany) variable frequency drives (VFDs)
Siemens (Germany) contactors
Siemens (Germany) relays
Sensor System:
Omron (Japan) sensors
Pneumatic System:
SMC (Japan) / AirTAC
These high-standard components enhance operational stability and extend the equipment’s service life.
5) Plug-and-play seeding drum for easy replacement
The equipment features a plug-and-play aluminum alloy seeding drum design. Drums can be quickly swapped to accommodate different tray types and seed specifications, enhancing the machine’s versatility.
Additionally, the 210mm drum diameter ensures more stable seed pickup and release, minimizing issues such as missed seeds or double-seeding.
6) Automated substrate filling, soil covering, and watering
Utilizing a chain-lift and conveyor belt drive structure, the system automates substrate transport, tray filling, and surface leveling to improve filling efficiency. After seeding, the machine automatically performs soil covering, surface brushing, and watering, promoting consistent seed germination.
