Vermeer & Bakkenes pleased with planting machine Machinnova

"Only 2 people needed for potting"

Vermeer & Bakkenes from Maasdijk (Netherlands) is a nationally operating company that carries out potting work on location. According to owner Martin Vermeer, the automatic planting machine from Machinnova offers great advantages.

Quality improvement
A valued customer of Vermeer & Bakkenes is now experiencing the advantages of a Machinnova automatic planting machine. The quality of planting is very consistent: in the same place with the same plant depth, also with several plants in one pot. A process that cannot be matched by manual work.



Labor saving
A potting team generally consists of three to four people: two people at the potting machine, one person who supplies the potting soil, plants and trays with plants and one person who removes the plants from the conveyor belt and places them on the ground. This in combination with the pot filler, forklift and conveyor belts. Thanks to the automatic planting machine, only two people are needed and the machine offers a high capacity of up to 7,200 plants per hour.

Working conditions
The automatic planting machine offers employees more variety in work and less physical strain: a significant improvement in working conditions.

Organization
Working on location requires clear planning. Thanks to the constant speed, the duration of the potting work can be planned better, as opposed to manual planting. Work is organized better, especially when seasonal labor is used.

Flexibility
The Machinnova automatic planting machine can be converted very quickly to a different pot / tray configuration. Equipped with a wide range of pot and source tray sizes, an extra source tray can simply be added and at low cost. The trays range from 18 holes to 480 holes (from 10 mm up to 80 mm) with the same adjustable gripper and pot sizes from 9 to 27 cm. The machine is on wheels and is therefore easy to move.

In short, an asset for the machinery park of Vermeer & Bakkenes.
