vibration and active compaction filling less than 5% variation in cell weight excess media removed from the tray fast and accurate filling Root system development is one of the most important quality criteria when evaluating forest seedlings and cuttings. During the propagation of seedlings and cuttings oxygen supply in the substrate is crucial for all anaerobic processes. Therefore optimal filling and compaction of the growing media is required for root initiation, germination and consequent root development. Filling trays properly, i.e. every cell being filled with exactly the same volume...

distribution over the entire tray. During this process the tray is continuously vibrated for initial filling. Active compaction: The tray is positioned under the compaction plate. For active compaction, a layer of floating substrate on the tray is required. The compaction plate is fitted with fingers according to the size of the cell. The fingers are pushed pneumatically into the cells. The floating media drops into the cell when the fingers are retrieved. During the compaction process, the tray is vibrated continuously. Compaction depth as well as single or double compaction is pre-set....
