Tray Covering Unit

Product catalog summary

Overview
The BCC Tray Covering Unit is designed to create a conducive micro-climate for seed germination by covering trays with a uniform layer of material post-sowing. This layer aids in moisture retention and seed protection, while also preventing excessive algae and moss growth.

Process Description
A sensor detects incoming trays, triggering an adjustable timer that controls the feeding belt's operation. This ensures precise material application and minimizes spillage. The material hopper, equipped with adjustable sides and a gate, allows for control over the thickness and width of the material layer, adaptable to different tray types.

Operational Benefits & Key Features

Ensures even germination through uniform layer application.
Adjustable gate for layer thickness control.
Adjustable sides for width control, accommodating various tray types.
Sensor-activated flow to reduce spillage.
Versatile use, including mycorrhiza application in substrates.

Accessories and Extra Features
The unit includes a media feeding belt for material transfer to the hopper and can be customized for specific needs.
