Watering station

Overview
Viscon Plant Technology supplies modular watering tunnels and covering systems (WT/VT) as standalone units or integrated elements of complete seeding lines. Constructed in stainless steel for resistance to greenhouse and nursery environments, the modules handle both overhead watering and sub‑irrigation and dispense fine covering materials such as vermiculite, sand and soil.

Key benefits

• Combined watering and covering capability for seeding workflows
• Stainless steel construction for durability in horticultural environments
• Quick changeover to different tray sizes
• Uniform application of water and cover; designed for easy cleaning and maintenance

Available configurations

• WT – watering tunnel for overhead watering
• VT – vermiculite/covering tunnel
• WT + VT – watering tunnel followed by vermiculite tunnel
• VT + WT – vermiculite tunnel followed by watering tunnel
• WT + VT + WT – watering, vermiculite, watering sequence
• Sub‑irrigation – water tunnel configured for sub‑irrigation
• VT + Sub‑irrigation – vermiculite tunnel plus sub‑irrigation water tunnel

Functionality and materials handled
Watering tunnels support overhead spray and sub‑irrigation modes. Covering systems meter fine materials such as vermiculite, sand and potting soil. Modules are configurable to match line layout, tray format and process requirements.

Compatible add‑on machines (examples)

• De‑stacker MHD‑LB — stacking and de‑stacking; pot dosing; up to 8,500 pieces/hour
• Dibbling unit — dibbling and drilling; up to 600 trays/hour; centre and eccentric options
• Bark Topper — covering machine for bark/biotop/soil; up to 4,000 trays/hour

Applications
Designed for integration into seeding lines and young‑plant automation. Typical use cases include propagation, nursery and greenhouse production where consistent watering and fine covering are required.
