Tray filler with bale opener SB 01

Overview
The SB01 is a compact, multifunction machine designed for greenhouses and nurseries to fill pots, plug trays and small bags. It breaks compressed bales, mixes substrate and allows addition of water and fertilizer. The machine features an easy, effective compaction system, a brush that cleans the top of containers and returns excess substrate to the hopper, and an adjustable auger outlet to handle larger pots, root balls, small trailers or hoppers. The unit is mounted on 16" wheels and includes a tow bar for mobility.
