Da Ros Potting Machine I3-P

The Da Ros Potting Machine I3-P is one of the most popular potting machines for New Zealand growers, valued for its strong focus on operator safety, flexibility, and excellent value for money. Designed for hard-working plant producers, it offers reliable performance across a wide range of potting applications.

The machine comes standard with a 1000L hopper, with an option to increase to 1500L, with fold-down sides so it can be easily loaded from either side. Soil feed speed is adjusted via a mechanical speed dial, allowing operators to fine-tune output to suit different soil types and pot requirements. Long-life stainless steel soil elevator paddles ensure durability in demanding nursery environments.

An autom atic pot in-feed conveyor continuously reloads the pot magazine during operation, while the simple pot sizing adjustment and pneumatic pot de-nester accommodate pots from 8–20cm diameter. As pots move around the carousel, they are de-nested, filled with soil, and drilled to the required depth, ready for planting. Drill hole size and depth are quick and easy to adjust. With a potting capacity of up to 2,500 pots per hour, the I3-P is a dependable, versatile solution for medium to large nurseries looking to balance productivity, safety, and cost.
