Fully automated seedling line for cress

The Koppert Machines cress seeding line has been developed for growers who strive for maximum efficiency and hygiene in their cultivation process. This solution has been specially designed for products that are not grown in open ground, such as cress. The system automatically and accurately dispenses pulp medium from mixing tanks to seeding trays. This ensures an optimal base and healthy growth.

The sowing line can process a wide variety of seeds thanks to multiple integrated sowing units in a fixed configuration. The trays, containers or tables move automatically under the units via a conveyor belt system. This modular design allows for various configurations, tailored to the specifications of each type of cress.

The frame is made entirely of stainless steel, which guarantees durability and easy maintenance. The machine complies with health and safety, ISO 9001 and CE standards and is designed to function with minimal maintenance.
