Nursery is a key stage in crop planting, directly affecting seedling quality and production efficiency. The traditional seedling nursery relies on manual labor, which has problems such as low efficiency, high cost and insufficient standard. The emergence of seedling tray thermoforming machine, through automation, large-scale production of seedling trays, for agriculture, forestry, horticulture and other fields to provide efficient solutions.
This article explores the advantages of this machine in more detail from the application areas of the seedling tray thermoforming machine.
1. Vegetable and cash crop nursery
Vegetable planting is the core of agriculture, the cavity tray produced by the seedling tray thermoforming machine can accurately control the size, depth and volume of each seedling unit, which is suitable for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other common vegetables.
For example, cucumber seedlings are sensitive to the root growth environment, and the cavity tray's separation design can avoid root entanglement, reduce transplanting damage, and increase the transplant survival rate by over 20% compared to traditional methods.
For economic crops such as tobacco and cotton, thermoforming machines can quickly produce large quantities of seedling trays to meet seedling needs. For example, cotton field through the hole tray seedling, realize mechanized transplanting, reduce labor costs.
2. Soilless cultivation
Plastic seedling tray thermoforming machine can be customized to adapt to hydroponics, aerosol cultivation and other soilless systems. For example, a farm adopts lightweight, corrosion-resistant PP material trays, with automated irrigation equipment, to achieve precise control of water and fertilizer, and increase the utilization rate of resources by more than 30%.
The flower industry has extremely high requirements for seedling quality, and the trays produced by thermoforming machines can ensure the root integrity of orchids, roses and other high-grade flowers and avoid damage during transportation.
For instance, a flower base in Kunming, Yunnan reduced packaging costs by 15% by adopting standardized trays.
In addition, the rise of the home gardening market has given rise to the demand for seedling trays. Thermoforming machine can flexibly adjust the mold, the production of mini trays suitable for balcony planting, to help urban residents practice balcony gardening.
1. Silviculture
Thermoforming machine can produce deep hole trays, suitable for pine, eucalyptus and other deep-rooted tree seedling. With the adoption of mechanized nursery technology, the survival rate of saplings has been improved.
At the same time, the use of seedling trays protects endangered species by controlling temperature, humidity, light and other conditions.
2. Desertification and wetland management
Thermoforming machines can produce seedling trays for drought- and saline-resistant plants. For example, in desert management, the nursery efficiency of sand-fixing plants such as pokeweed trees and sea buckthorn is increased by three times.
Wetland restoration projects require a large number of aquatic plants (e.g. reeds, cattails), and the separation design of thermoforming trays prevents excessive spreading of plant roots and facilitates later transplanting.
