Tray Destacking System with Conveyor
The Pack Mfg Tray Destacking System with Conveyor is the missing link in many automated processes. Without the destacking solution, production lines running liners, seeds, and other small plants must manually sort, unstack, and load each liner tray prior to filling. With the Pack Mfg Tray Destacking System, this manual role is omitted from the production process. Trays are automatically unstacked, and the conveyor system rolls the tray right through the production filling process without manual assistance.
Media Recycling System
The Pack Mfg Media Recycling System is a game changing tool in terms of conservation and efficiency. The Pack Media Recycling System helps cut costs by allowing used media to be processed and reused like new media. A cleated conveyor system delivers the used media to the processor, where compacted potting soil, plant matter, and roots are broken up and separated. Usable media is delivered to the output conveyor, while scrap material is removed. Often, media is disposed of because of the labor costs associated with processing, but the Pack Mfg. Media Recycling System is an efficient and cost-effective investment to lower your expenses year after year. The media recycling system can be incorporated into almost any new or existing system.
PM1090-15D Water Chamber
The Pack Mfg PM1090-15D is constructed of a stainless steel frame, extending the output conveyor to 15′ in length. It is designed to provide controlled watering capability for multiple watering applications, such as flats, trays, pots and baskets. It not only makes it much easier to keep the plants uniformly moistened, it also prevents wasting water while waiting for product. The Pack Mfg Watering Chamber can be wired into the production line controls, so that if production is stopped or started anywhere along the line, the watering is stopped and started simultaneously, preventing over and under watering of any product already in the watering chamber. Available in optional extra wide or tall units which will accommodate the highest and widest containers, including hanging baskets with hangers if needed.
Portable Tray Spacing Forks
The Patented Pack Manufacturing Portable Tray Spacing Forks are an innovative and economical way to reduce labor costs associated with container relocation. Made specifically for transporting liner trays, these works can be accommodated to work with many container types. The Pack Spacing Forks mount onto the front forks of your forklift, allowing you to carry approximately 48 square feet of transportation space. A set of small conveyor belts run in unison to move the trays forward and backward. Even more, intuitive touchscreen controls allows you to start, stop, and set the spacing you want between rows. As you drive, the system tracks your speed and places unloads the trays with the spacing you decide. Moving containers is often a necessary but unrewarding chore, but the Pack Manufacturing Portable Tray Spacing Forks allow you to mitigate the costs associated with clearing greenhouses or fields. Options available for mounting to tractor or other light utility vehicle. Custom staging platforms available upon request.
