Use STILT PRO Processing equipment to automate bale processing, eliminating labor costs, saving time and providing a uniform mix. The simple controls of the STILT PRO Gobbler or Small Bale Buster will increase your productivity with minimal maintenance, and they may discharge directly into a STILT PRO Filler or Soil Conveyor.
STILT PRO Mixing Equipment offers rapid, complete and uniform mixing of your soil media. Our mixer capacities range from a small ¾ yard mixer to our large 4-yard mixer. Each utilizes a custom paddle auger design, which gently lifts and blends your media.
This unit is ideal for small, controlled batch mixing within its 10 GA steel barrel. Utilizes a center discharge with an easy open gate. Custom options, including integral direct drive or chain & sprocket drive, are available.
The 2 Yard Mixer offers medium to large batch mixing capabilities within the 3/16” plate steel barrel. It is ideal for heavier soils, and heavy duty options are available depending on your media type. The unit comes standard with a removable barrel and handwheel discharge gate. It is also available with 10HP or 15HP motor, and custom options, including integral direct drive or chain & sprocket drive, are available.
The Gobbler is designed to process large compressed bales (as well as smaller bales) into fluffed and moistened potting soil. It is constructed with a hopper the full length of an inclined live bottom conveyor. The bale is loaded onto the hydraulic lift gate platform and then raised into position. A heavy-duty drag chain breaks up the bale as it moves media on the inclined slider bed. A gathering auger fluffs and automatically adds water (at your chosen rate) prior to discharging a ready to use media.
The central discharge is at 42″ clearance from the floor. The Gobbler may utilize basic stop/start controls or automated sensors to integrate with other processing equipment. Your processed media may be discharged directly into STILT.PRO Fillers or Soil Conveyors.
The 3.8 cu. ft. Bale Processor is modeled after the larger Gobbler, allowing you to easily break up and fluff compressed peat. It utilizes the same heavy duty drag bars, high RPM fluffer screw and variable rate water dispensing, and it is easily controlled with a simple ON/ OFF switch. Discharge your processed media directly into pots or an existing STILT PRO Filler, Mixer or 4300A Soil Conveyor to create a production line. Caster and control options are available.
3 Year, Unlimited Hours Warranty – INCLUDED
Includes: Problem identification, remote trouble shooting of issue, support and instruction for proper repair, and providing replacement of failed parts.
Excludes – Misuse of equipment (including using non horticultural potting mixes with high sand and field soil content) or improper care, such as leaving fertilizer in machine for an extended period of time. Wear parts (chain, slats, wear plates or surfaces). External physical damage inflicted on the machine. Labor repair costs.
Yes, we keep inventory of most all parts. Most all of the components are either US Sourced or a common off the shelf component. We are having some supply chain issues on components, but we are working through the best way to manage that.
All of our machines are designed right here in the US. We design these machines to be easily repairable by an inexperienced worker. Should a problem arise, you won’t need to weld or fabricate a new part. The entire machine is bolted together and you can simply bolt in a replacement part.
We have heard that concern, I get it, you won’t be able to load a machine up and let a person pot plants for a day.
Some perspective – The rear load machine holds about 3/4 – 1 cubic yard which is up to about 200 gallons of material. That gives you about 15 minutes of runtime without stopping.
The reason for the smaller equipment size is to primarily keep the price and complexity down.
-Increase horsepower requirements which means increased power – now you have to have dedicated power for the machine.
-Increasing the hopper size also increases the physical size of the machine which increases the overall cost and reduces portability
You may have not made a purchase on a potting machine in the past because of the overall cost.
From time to time, we hear that our production rates appear slow. Look at it this way though. You have 5 or 10 workers running a high-speed line. SOMETHING GOES WRONG, you now have all these people standing around and/or you need to find a different job for them.
If you have a machine problem with a high-speed line you’re completely shut down. With a cell-based design, you have a small part of the potting operation down. Your efficiency is similar whether you have 1 or 4 people operating STILT.PRO machines.
