KAPPA Seeder

The SF13 Seeder is an entry-level seeder for low-volume seeding, up to 1700 rows per hour. The SF13 features fully pneumatic operation and does not require electricity. Advances trays with automatic steps. Seeder uses a venturi operation to pick up seeds from the seed tray. The SF13 works with most standard trays and seeds, naked and pelleted. Complete automatic dibbler operation included. Trays are hand-loaded into the seeder and then automatically seeded. Capable of multiple seeds per cell with multiple passes. The SF13 Seeder comes with a nozzle kit, first seeder bar, and matching dibbler. Additional nozzles, seeder bars, and dibble configurations can be purchased.

All seeder sales require tray samples and a list of intended seeds to be sown. In some cases, seed samples may be requested.

The Lambda Drum Seeder can be equipped with 1 to 3 seeding drums, for seeding staggered plug trays, multiple seed types, and/or granulated chemicals consecutively during the seeding process. It is available as a stand-alone unit, or as part of a complete seeding line. The seeding drum is electronically controlled instead of mechanically driven, enabling it to sow a wide range of seeds in either single or multiple quantities per cell, with high accuracy. Customized seeding drums can be ordered that provide for a virtually infinite number of seeding patterns. Depending on the tray cell count and seed type, it can sow up to 650 trays per hour, when sowing one seed per cell. The Lambda Drum Seeder also allows for easy changeover of tray and seed types as the seeding and dibbler drums can be quickly changed out without the use of any tools. The user-friendly control panel with keypad and view screen provides for easy setup and adjustment and enables the operator to enter and store up to 99 different seeding programs.

The Covering/Watering Unit is a significant enhancement to any seeding line, designed to apply a uniform top coating of media and distribute water evenly across trays as they exit the seeder. This innovative unit is engineered to activate only when a tray is detected, ensuring efficient use of materials and reducing waste. The unit includes a vermiculite drum hopper, which features adjustable settings to precisely control the flow of media, catering to various seeding requirements.

In addition to its covering capabilities, the unit boasts two laser-drilled water-bars that guarantee consistent water application across the trays, promoting optimal seed germination conditions. The design of these water bars ensures that each tray receives an even distribution of water, essential for uniform seedling growth.

This unit seamlessly integrates into existing seeding lines and is controlled via touch screen controls located on an Urbinati seeder, allowing for easy operation and adjustments. For operations requiring more extensive water distribution, additional water bars can be added to the system.

By incorporating the Covering/Watering Unit into your seeding line, you not only enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your seeding process but also contribute to higher yield and better quality seedlings through precise media and water application. This unit is an essential tool for any modern agricultural setup aiming to optimize their seeding operations.
