To plant sweet potato cuttings (slips) at the correct angle and depth, PlantTeq has developed a sweet potato planter that mechanically plants the cuttings in the soil.
Automating the planting process can reduce the number of labor hours by approximately 60%.
The sweet potato planter has a modular design and can therefore be easily adapted to your needs. Thanks to the electro-hydraulic control system, a large tractor is not required to operate the machine.
Using the control terminal, you can easily adjust the planting distance, planting height, and other settings electronically.
Thanks to the automatic height control, each plant is planted at the correct height regardless of how far the tractor tracks.
Planting the seedling at an angle improves the uniformity and quality of the tuber.
Because the potatoes have more room to grow compared to when they are planted upright, they can develop nicer tubers.
The device works on a crankshaft principle, using two pins to remove the plant from the holders and push it diagonally through the plastic into the soil.
Complete frame with 4 sections for planting sweet potato cuttings; the machine has a modular design.
Thanks to the automatic height adjustment, the plants are always at the correct height in the rack. This ensures that every plant is planted with the same precision.
A good sitting posture makes the work easier to perform and allows you to keep going longer; a work speed of up to 600 meters per hour is achievable. As a result, the 4-row sweet potato planter can plant more than 1.2 hectares per day.
