The covering-watering module CBA 1800/3000 made by Atlantic Man. allows to complete the post-sowing process of plastic, polystyrene and thermoformed trays and crates of any size used in greenhouses and nurseries. Available in both compact version (L=1800mm) and standard version (L=3000mm), this machine guarantees high performance, dealing successfully up to 1200 trays per hour. The module consists of three working units: a drum that covers the trays with vermiculite, a system of perforated bar showers that proceed to the watering of the covered cells and an automatic stacker of the trays ready for the germination process. The trays go through the different phases of treatment by sliding on honeycomb belts to ensure them the greater adherence.
In addition, it is possible to install a pre-watering system with perforated bar showers for watering the soil before the cover or to replace the drum with a vermiculite/sand/peat covering dispenser. At the end of the line, you can also add a final accumulation conveyor belt for stacked trays.
