Inline Double Nursery Potting Line

Plant liners, perform step-ups, or pot bare root stock—all on the same machine at maximum speed. Ideal for mid to large nursery operations, key components include a CDX1 pot dispenser, double nursery potter, TP2400 rice hull topper, and buffer table working together for a smooth, efficient potting process.

Each machine is built for rapid, tool-free changeovers between a wide range of pot sizes, helping operators maintain consistent output across diverse production runs. The line supports multiple production types, including liner planting, step-ups, and bare-root potting.

The all-new CD-X1 Nursery Pot Dispenser is a fast, reliable solution for loading nursery pots onto a production line. This pot dispenser works with pots ranging in diameter from 6.5 inches to 15 inches. Pots are mechanically separated quickly and reliably, and then moved along a chain conveyor and tipped upright onto an inline conveyor ready to be filled. The CD-X1 Nursery Pot Dispenser features simple mechanical adjustments that make changeovers for different-sized pots fast and easy.

The Nursery Potter eliminates never-ending potting machine maintenance, no chains or sprockets. This all-belt-conveyor potter delivers unmatched reliability year after year. Heavy-duty motors and gearboxes provide power and torque for virtually any soil mix. The two-cubic-yard galvanized steel hopper ensures longer life and less maintenance. All-belt operation guarantees production won't be hindered by difficult soil that rapidly deteriorates chains and augers.

Handle Any Soil Mix

Heavy-duty motors and gearboxes deliver the power and torque for virtually any media, including abrasive mixes that destroy chain-driven potters.

Wide Container Range

Fills 1 to 15-gallon pots, covering most nursery container sizes.

Longer Hopper Life

2 cubic yard galvanized steel hopper with variable speed control resists corrosion and wear.

Automatic Soil Return

Powered belt pot transfer recirculates excess media without chain mechanisms.

Reduced Downtime

Sealed bearings and self-tracking belts keep the machine running with minimal intervention.

Built for Low Maintenance

All-belt-conveyor design eliminates chains, sprockets, and augers that deteriorate in difficult soil mixes.
