This substrate processing system allows you to easily load, through a hand pallet truck or a lift truck, peat or soil big bale that reach 6 cubic meters in volume and 1200 kg in weight. This loading system is the ideal solution to automatically feed seeding lines, pressed block machines, potting machines, fillers, etc. and thanks to its vertical extension is space-saving and particularly suitable for use in limited spaces. The machine is equipped with all necessary protection systems to ensure the operator the safe insertion of the big bale: after loading the peat or the soil and activating the mechanism, a moving platform lifts the big bale vertically and submit it to the shaving process, from the top of the bale to its base, using a special chain crusher. A photoelectric cell allows to automatically manage the feeding of the peat in the storage hopper, verifying the minimum and maximum filling levels.
Depending on production needs, it is also possible to optionally install a spraying nozzles bar in the outlet channel to dampen the substrate.
