TP-2400 Pot Topper

The Soil Covering Unit is an advanced solution designed to apply soil, sand, and other media to the tops of flats and pots. Mounted atop a 2.3-meter powered conveyor, it features variable speed controls to ensure precise application. This precision is further enhanced by a lift gate and the hopper’s variable speed grip belt conveyor, which together regulate the flow of media for customized coverage.

This unit significantly boosts efficiency by providing consistent and even distribution of covering material. This not only improves the overall quality of the planting process but also ensures that each pot and flat receives the optimal amount of media. Such consistency is crucial for promoting uniform plant growth and health.

Ideal for large-scale operations, the Soil Covering Unit streamlines workflow, making the entire process more efficient and less labor-intensive. By reducing the need for manual labor, it allows staff to focus on other critical tasks, thereby enhancing overall productivity. Its robust design and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to any horticultural setup, ensuring that growers can achieve high-quality results with minimal effort. The Soil Covering Unit is an essential tool for modern growers aiming to optimize their planting processes and improve operational efficiency.

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.

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.
