About second-hand Potting machines

JavoStolzeMayer (Visser)WillburgHeto en Demtec are the most important suppliers of potting machines. The manufacturers supply potting machines for various purposes in market gardening. The machines differ mainly in capacity, adjustability and design. Potting machines can run for years without problems. For this reason many growers consider the choice of a second-hand machine a sensible investment.

Operation of the potting machines

Empty pots are put in the pot holders by hand or using a pot-placing machine. The pot holders are mounted on a wheel or chain conveyor and are then moved under the opening to the potting compost filler. The pots are evenly filled with potting compost. The surplus potting compost is removed by a levelling unit and returned again to the potting compost supply. The pots then move to the compression-drill unit which then makes a hole. If the potting machine has automatic pot removal, the pots are automatically placed on the conveyor belt. Work is most efficient when the potting machine is used in combination with plant robots, compost supply systems and pot plant conveyor systems.

The possibilities of a potting machine depend on the type and design which we will try to describe as fully as possible. Although the standard properties could differ from what is possible in some cases. Sometimes larger pot sizes are used than shown in the first instance. Every other one is then potted using of a drill interrupter. 

Contact our sales persons for this and other options. Here you will find the current list of all the second-hand potting machines that Duijndam Machines has for sale.

Javo potting machine

One of the most well-known manufacturers of potting machines is Javo. Javo potting machines are reliable and can last for years without much worry. Therefore, Javo potting machines are also highly sought-after machines to buy used. 

At Duijndam Machines, we generally have various machines from Javo in stock. From simple potting machines, to elaborate filling systems for large pots, for example. Besides potting machines, Javo also produces other machines that can be used in the (re)potting of plants, such as soil bunkers and buffer belts. By combining several machines, the system can be made as simple or extensive as desired.

You can find all used potting machines from Javo here.

Pot fork

From the buffer belt or plant transport belt after the potting machine, pot forks can be used for deploying the pots in the container field. These pot forks allow multiple pots to be picked up at once. Depending on the type, some the pot forks can also set the pots wider apart or closer together.
