Simple and easy to use
Planting sweet potato cuttings (slips) is a precise and time-consuming job. That’s why PlantTeq has developed a machine to plant sweet potato slips into the ground at the right angle and height, machine-wise.
Automating planting can reduce labor hours by about 60%.
The machine is modular and can therefore be easily adapted to your needs. Because of the electric hydraulic control, no heavy tractor is needed to work with the machine.
With the operating terminal you can easily adjust the planting distance, plant height and other settings.
With automatic height control, each plant is planted at the correct height, even in wet conditions.
Angled into the ground
Putting the plant into the ground at an angle increases the uniformity and quality of the tuber.
Because there is more space for the roots, compared to plants upright, more beautiful tubers can be formed.
The element works on a crank principle and takes the plant with two pins from the holders and pokes it through the plastic obliquely into the soil.

Complete frame with 4 elements for planting sweet potato slips, machine is modular built.
Due to the automatic height adjustment, the plants are always at the correct height in the back. With this, each plant is planted with the same accuracy.
With a good sitting position, the work is easier to perform and longer to maintain, a working speed of up to 600 meters per hour is achievable. This allows a machine with 4 rows to plant more than a 1.2 hectares per day.
