Semi-automatic tray filler SB 01

Overview
The SB01 is a compact, multi-function greenhouse and nursery machine for filling pots, plug trays and small bags. It breaks compressed bales, mixes media and allows addition of water and fertilizer. The machine features a simple, even compaction system and a brush that cleans the container rim while returning excess media to the hopper. The auger outlet can be rotated to fill larger pots, root balls, small trailers or hoppers. The unit is mounted on 16" wheels and includes a tow bar for mobility.
