Greenhouse and nursery conveyors with potting machines are an excellent solution for automating laborious tasks such as transportation and plant shifting. These machines can help you reduce labor costs and production times, making them perfect for your greenhouse needs. Although they may seem expensive at first, the long-term benefits of increased production capacity and profitability make them worth the initial investment. With these machines, you can customize them to fit your greenhouse and see a significant improvement in your production and reduce the effort required by your employees.
STILT PRO Soil Conveyors efficiently move a variety of bulk materials and are ideal for loading trucks or soil carts and for stockpiling media. These conveyors will take discharge from a STILT PRO Mixer or Bale Processor. These conveyors are made-to-order to meet your incline requirements and discharge heights. Upturned slider sides create a troughing belt, and load skirts are optional to increase the capacity of the conveyor. Other options include cleated belt, dust covers, load hopper and more.

STILT PRO Modular Belt Conveyors are compact, light-weight, portable, and well suited for conveying potted plants, boxes or other containers. Each unit will convey horizontally or at a slight incline, allowing you to easily load or unload a truck. Since the supporting steel and slider pan on the modular conveyors are below the conveying surface, you may transport containers much wider than the belt. Belts are designed with a V-guide for self-tracking, and belt tension is easily adjusted at slots in the side of the aluminum slider pan. This ensures smooth operation and low maintenance of these units.
The 4100 Series Conveyors are designed to operate independently or as a connected series. The tail end of one conveyor saddles into the head end of the next unit, and you plug the power plug into each consecutive unit for operation. On the single direction units, the first on/off switch controls the other units connected in the same assembly. On the reversible units, you can control all connected units from any switch box. This means you can start, stop or reverse directions of all units from any one location. Variable Speed drives are available in single direction, stand-alone units (only) for safety reasons. These do not connect together.
Optional headstands plug into the head plates of the conveyor to stabilize the unit. If you set up a line, you would need a headstand for each unit, with the tail end of the unit supported by the head end of the previous one. The first conveyor in the chain would require a tripod stand or support from an existing piece of equipment, such as a flat filler. Other available options include side rails and diverter bars.
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.
