Machine line developed to plant tulips into boxes, by hand till completely
  automatic.

  Advantage:
  • Prevents back damage by filling the boxes with soil, peat, sand or other
     filling material complete automatic.
  • Every line configuration is possible, designed on your working place.
  • Easy to expand.
  • Labour-saving by mechanization.

  Capacity and dimensions:
  • Dependable of the machine configuration and planting area.
  • Delivered for every capacity (number of boxes) and every dimensions of
     boxes.

  Way of working:
  • The boxes are placed by hand or automatic on a plant belt.
  • The planting belt has a width of 1 or 2 boxes, next to each other and
     has an variable speed motor.
  • The boxes are transporting underneath the 1st double dosing hopper.
  • The double dosing hopper exists of a buffer hopper and dosing hopper.
  • The speed of the dosing hopper belt is variable.
  • Together with a regulation shut and the speed of the belt, the dosing
     hopper will fill the box (that is transporting over the planting belt) with a
     layer of soil, or other filling material.
  • After the box passed the first hopper, the planting area starts.
  • It depends on, the length of the planting area and the number of people
     what the speed of the planting belt will be.
  • At the end of the planting belt the boxes are running over a roller
     transport conveyor.
  • Above this conveyor is a sand hopper located.
  • The belt of the sand hopper is regulated with a variable speed motor.
  • Together with a adjustable slide the top layer will be adjust.
  • The boxes will be colleted from the roller transport conveyor, by hand or
     automatic.
 
  Optional:
  • Belt width changeable for every dimensions of boxes.
  • Water dosing 1 time after planting and 1 time after putting a top layer of
     sand into the box.
  • Water, soil collecting tank.
  • Hopper with elevator belt next to the planting line, what will supply the
     soil to the dosing hopper onto the planting belt.
  • Soil mixer to have a more even layer into the box.
  • Optional stacking / de-stacking machine, in front or after the planting line.
  • Bulb buffer lorry or bulb buffer grate onto the planting belt, to pick the
     bulbs of for planting by hand.
  • Bulb supply system for automatic dividing the bulbs onto the boxes.
  • Rotating brush to clean the sides of the boxes from soil.
  • Automatic box emptier and transporting to the planting line.

  General:
  • Steel parts of the machine are sprayed with RAL 6011 paint, what gives
     the machine a good protection against water, soil and sand.
