Soil Covering Unit

Simply put, the Nursery Potter was designed to make never-ending potting machine maintenance obsolete! We’ve eliminated all chains and sprockets! This “all-belt-conveyor” potter is designed for highly efficient potting providing unmatched reliability, year after year. With heavy-duty motors and gearboxes, the potter has the power and torque to handle virtually any soil mix. Its two-cubic-yard galvanized steel hopper provides for longer life and less maintenance. And it’s all belt operation guarantees potting production won’t be hindered by difficult soil that tends to rapidly deteriorate chains and augers.

Topping your pots with bark or other materials helps to reduce the growth of moss and weeds; which gives you better-quality plants. An automation solution like the Mayer RM-2120 Bark Topper will also help save you time and money.

The Mayer Bark Topper uses parallel belts to rotate the pots as they advance through the machine, resulting in an even distribution of materials in each pot. An additional vibrating unit pushes any excess material back into the hopper to be re-used and any persistent residue is removed by two spring-loaded scrapers. The frequency-controlled motors can be continuously adjusted as needed to adapt to various pot sizes.

This machine can be configured for incoming pots on either the left or right side and can be used in conjunction with potting machines.

The TP-2800 and TP-2400 Pot Topper machines are essential for completing the transplant cycle of young seedlings. These machines automatically and uniformly cover the collar of potted plants with soil, bark, miscanthus, rice husk, or similar materials, ensuring consistent and efficient operations.
