Whether it’s peat or pre-mix, the VBT Bale Shaver delivers consistent media texture and flow from the top of the bale to the bottom. The palletized bale is placed inside the machine, the doors are closed, then an elevator feeds the bale into the horizontal scraper that acts as a harrow to evenly extract the peat or pre-mix layer-by-layer. Improved processing maximizes compressed bale yield and moisture content consistency.

Designed for growers with one to two planting lines. Compact footprint installs easily into existing mix lines. Processes up to 25 cubic yards of blended soil per hour. Returns compressed HydraFiber Ultra bales to their fibrous state and blends with base media. Tungsten carbide-coated shredder rollers ensure robust performance. Powered in-feed conveyor. Available in right- or left-hand versions. Can be fed directly from bale shaver or mix line.

Precisely dispense chemical amendments like lime and wetting agents into your soil blending line. Compact stainless-steel hopper features a variable-speed belt that meters material beneath an adjustable gate, then distributes it via dispersion fan to break apart clumps for even coverage.

Flow sensors and load cells track material dispensed while low-level alarms minimize supervision and prevent material runout. Designed for seamless integration into automated soil delivery systems.

Increase throughput and ensure consistent growing mixes with our auger-driven soil processors. Blends and conditions peat, coir, bark, and premix substrates into uniform, ready-to-use media. Integrated water bar with solenoid valve automates moisture adjustment, reducing manual labor. Mixer bar delivers even particle distribution for optimal water retention and aeration.
