Atlantic Man. is an Italian company specialized in the design and manufacturing of machinery and systems for nurseries and greenhouses. Our range includes integrated solutions designed to automate and optimize all the main stages of the production process: from substrate preparation to seeding, from irrigation to tray washing, up to transplanting operations and crop management.
A modular and integrated approach
The philosophy of Atlantic Man. is based on a modular approach that allows the creation of customized production lines tailored to the specific needs of each customer. The machines can be used individually or integrated into complete lines, ensuring high levels of automation, efficiency, and scalability.
The main technological areas include:
Substrate preparation
Proper substrate preparation is essential to achieve uniform and high-quality crops. Atlantic Man. offers a range of dedicated solutions for peat and soil processing, designed to meet different production needs within greenhouses and nurseries.
- BIG BALE peat and soil loader and BIG BALE V vertical loader, designed to break up and prepare compressed substrate for immediate use.
- ELMIX mixer/humidifier, which combines mixing and substrate humidification to obtain homogeneous blends ready for filling.
- MIX1000 mixer, ideal for larger volumes of substrate and for automatic integration into downstream production lines.
- RT19 filling machine, suitable for wet peat, with a capacity of up to approximately 800 trays per hour.
- RT25 filling machine, capable of handling both dry and wet peat and soil, with a capacity of up to approximately 1200 trays per hour.
These solutions make it possible to obtain a uniformly processed substrate with the right level of moisture and compaction, ready for the next stages of seeding and production.
Automated seeding lines
Seeding is a delicate stage that requires precision and reliability. Atlantic Man. offers fully automatic seeding systems for different production needs, ranging from standalone seeders to complete production lines.
- Step-by-step seeder PROMASTER – ideal for medium-low production capacity with high precision.
- SE200 seeder and imprint module – combines seeding with seed imprinting.
- MS800 drum seeder, HT800, TTL1200 and XXL2400 – drum-based lines for increasing production requirements.
- Covering-watering module CBA 1800/3000 – completes the seeding cycle with covering and irrigation.
These solutions ensure uniform seed placement in trays of different sizes and materials, increasing production efficiency and reducing waste.
Grafting and transplanting
For grafting and transplanting operations, Atlantic Man. offers technologies that combine precision and speed, reducing manual labour and increasing productivity.
- GR300 – semi-automatic grafting robot, ensuring consistent and perfectly matched cuts between rootstock and scion varieties.
- TPA – multi-gripper automatic transplanter, ideal for handling high volumes of transplanting with precision.
These systems enable efficient handling of the most delicate stages of the production process, ensuring repeatable, high-quality results.
Irrigation systems
Irrigation management is essential to ensure uniform and healthy plant growth in greenhouses and nurseries. Atlantic Man. offers mobile irrigation booms that provide a constant and uniform water supply across the entire cultivation area, reducing water waste and optimizing production efficiency.
- SA mono-rail mobile irrigation boom – ideal for nurseries requiring irrigation over individual sections.
- HO dual-rail mobile irrigation boom – ensures uniform distribution thanks to its double-track movement system.
- V5 dual-rail mobile irrigation boom – designed for nurseries with large cultivation areas requiring wider coverage.
These systems enable flexible water management, adapting to different greenhouse or nursery configurations.
Tray washing and disinfection
Cleaning and sanitisation of containers is a fundamental practice to prevent the spread of pathogens and ensure optimal conditions for subsequent crops. Atlantic Man. offers automatic washing and disinfection systems suitable for different production requirements.
- LV400 vertical tray washing machine – for efficient washing in limited spaces.
- LV1200 high-capacity tray washing machine with tipping system – ideal for high-intensity production.
These systems ensure deep and uniform cleaning of plant trays, contributing to overall crop health.
