3.4 Operation
The process of the machine starts with the substrate bin, which is filled with substrate. By using the substrate
conveyor belt and return belt, the substrate is transferred to the elevator.
The elevator takes over the substrate and transfers it into pots, which have been placed on the pottrack. The
pottrack is adjustable in height and width so that it is applicable to different pot sizes.
The pottrack move the pots to the drill which makes holes in the ground. The hole depth and diameter are
adjustable. After making a drill hole, the pots are transferred over the pottrack to a conveyor belt.
The machine is equipped with wheels, which makes the machine easy to move.
3.5 Machine workstations
This machine has operator places at the pottrack and conveyor belt.
