About second-hand Potting machines

Javo, Stolze, Mayer (Visser), Willburg, Heto en Demtec are the most important suppliers of potting machines. The manufacturers supply potting machines for various purposes in market gardening. The machines differ mainly in capacity, adjustability and design. Potting machines can run for years without problems. For this reason many growers consider the choice of a second-hand machine a sensible investment.

Operation of the potting machines

Empty pots are put in the pot holders by hand or using a pot-placing machine. The pot holders are mounted on a wheel or chain conveyor and are then moved under the opening to the potting compost filler. The pots are evenly filled with potting compost. The surplus potting compost is removed by a levelling unit and returned again to the potting compost supply. The pots then move to the compression-drill unit which then makes a hole. If the potting machine has automatic pot removal, the pots are automatically placed on the conveyor belt. Work is most efficient when the potting machine is used in combination with plant robots, compost supply systems and pot plant conveyor systems.

The possibilities of a potting machine depend on the type and design which we will try to describe as fully as possible. Although the standard properties could differ from what is possible in some cases. Sometimes larger pot sizes are used than shown in the first instance. Every other one is then potted using of a drill interrupter. 

Contact our sales persons for this and other options. Here you will find the current list of all the second-hand potting machines that Duijndam Machines has for sale.

Pot fork
