Demtec 3016 Potting Machine

The Demtec 3016 is an incredibly versatile potting machine, and will give years of reliable service. Capable of working automatically with pots from 7 cm to 26 cm and 26 cm – 35 cm, it benefits from a solid chassis and a large 3000 L hopper. Versatility comes from 8 and 16 station potting rings, with centralised adjustments – making changes between different pot sizes quick and simple. Large pneumatic tyres and a towing arm makes for good mobility, and comes standard,  with a pot dispenser, automatic pot take-off arm and wide exit conveyor.

The Demtec 3016 has an easily adjusted ‘pneumatic’ double-sided pot dispenser, which is exceptional with second hand pots (if you reuse them). The strong linear pot take-off arm has a very smooth action and allows pots to be removed onto the wide take-off conveyor with little effort or disturbance. Because pots used on this machine are usually larger, the wide conveyor has additional rollers for smooth running, have been added.

Unique features includes a system in the soil hopper to prevent ‘soil bridging’ and a soil return conveyor eliminating overfilling  of the soil elevator. Bare root potting is also easy, as the 3016 comes supplied with the bare root system – allowing pots to be part filled and then topped up from centre spilled soil after the shrub is placed in the pot.

This model is 3-phase but converters can be used if 3-phase is not available in your nursery. We can also provide you with a 6 or 10 m³ static or mobile soil hopper to feed your Demtec 3016 potting machine with extra media if necessary (See the Den 6000 and Den 10000).
