Nowadays, seed and labor costs are rising sharply. Many growers suffer losses year after year, which restricts the development of the seedling raising industry. Traditional manual seedling raising requires massive labor, and it is hard to hire workers. Besides, the sowing depth is difficult to control, often resulting in uneven seedling emergence and heavy seed waste.
With the advancement of modernization, the nursery seeding line has completely overcome the difficulties in seedling production.
The nursery seeding line is a fully automatic machine. It integrates 8 functions: tray filling, brush leveling, hole pressing, drum-type sowing, secondary soil backfilling, scraping, and watering. Featuring high automation and simple operation.
Nursery seeding line with Siemens control system, the tray seeder coordinates all components to ensure stable operation of the seedling line and precise sowing. Its sowing accuracy reaches 95%. It can sow 800 trays per hour, equivalent to the daily workload of 10 manual workers.
Nursery seeding line supports a wide range of crops, including pepper, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, lettuce, leaf lettuce and more. It is compatible with various plug trays: standard plastic trays (50, 72, 105, 128, 164, 200 cells), foam trays. Custom special-shaped trays are available.
Only 3 to 5 workers are needed for the whole operation, greatly reducing labor input. It effectively eases the pain points of high labor costs and labor shortage, and improves working efficiency.
Uniform seedling emergence, robust growth and well-developed roots can be achieved. Seedlings are easy for centralized management and can be brought to market earlier. It also reduces waste of high-value seeds.
Customers who use this tray seeder have given consistent positive feedback. Many seedling nursery owners say: In peak seedling seasons, they used to struggle with labor shortages, high labor expenses and serious waste of expensive seeds. Manual seeding caused inconsistent sowing depth and uneven seedlings, requiring extra labor and cost for seedling replacement. After adopting the machine, labor pressure is greatly relieved, seed loss is reduced, and seedling raising costs are effectively lowered.
