Proptek by BLACKMORE COMPANY products

The 128 Cell 26x13 inch vegetable propagation tray is designed to enhance the efficiency of plant propagation for crops such as melons, tomatoes, and hemp. Developed to replace traditional Styrofoam trays, this injection-molded tray is durable and can be effectively sterilized for prolonged use. It features a vented top surface that supports airflow, optimizing the drying cycle of the canopy and minimizing foliar diseases. The tray utilizes Proptek's patented root training and air pruning technology, promoting the development of numerous, non-circling natural roots, thus facilitating easier plant extraction for transplantation. With dimensions of 26 inches by 13 inches and a cell volume of 39 cc, it supports a plant density of 52 plants per square foot. These trays can be stacked efficiently for shipping, with each truck capable of carrying up to 6084 units, making them a cost-effective choice for large-scale horticulture operations.

The Proptek 162 Cell Vegetable Propagation Tray is meticulously engineered for optimal plant propagation, offering versatility for crops requiring wider spacing such as zucchini, cucumbers, and eggplants. The tray is an innovative replacement for the traditional 128 cell EPS Styrofoam variant, boasting 26% more planting cells per unit area, thanks to the use of durable injection molded plastic. This allows for a minimal decrease in plant spacing of only 8.6%. Each cell is equipped with Proptek's patented root technology, fostering vertical root growth that aids in root ball aeration and drainage, which enhances plant survivability and growth post-transplantation. Designed for ease of use, the tray has strong corners, rounded edges, and recessed handles, ensuring compatibility with both manual and mechanical handling. Its durability and optimal cell volume ensure the production of high-quality plants, catering to the needs of professional growers in maximizing efficiency and yield.

The 8 Cell Sleeve & Air Tray Propagation System is designed to enhance tree and shrub propagation by using 100mm Ellepots within an advanced sleeve and tray configuration. This system combines a highly efficient growing setup with automation compatibility, offering time and cost savings throughout the growth and distribution processes. It supports early-stage plant development by maintaining moisture levels and promoting robust root systems through excellent aeration and drainage. With a design that facilitates manual or mechanical handling, it enables streamlined grading and spacing. Various tray configurations are available to suit different propagation needs, making it adaptable to a range of plant types including citrus, fruit trees, and woody ornamentals. Notably, the system allows for the efficient use and recovery of trays, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint and maintaining an inventory of reusable materials.

Proptek specializes in innovative propagation and production solutions, particularly in the realm of horticulture. Their fruit and nut tree air pruning propagation trays and containers are designed to improve plant growth by optimizing root health. Utilizing advanced root training and air pruning technology, Proptek's trays ensure plants develop strong, natural roots. The product line features two main self-contained systems: Pot-in-Frame and Sleeve & Tray sets, both incorporating air pruning pots. These systems mimic the benefits of multi-cell propagation trays while allowing individual pot removal for essential tasks like grafting and grading. The Pot-in-Frame design facilitates easy handling and precise plant spacing, making it suitable for various plant species, including pine and watermelon transplants. The robust construction of these trays is noted for durability and efficiency, delivering high-quality plant structures.

The 450 Cell 26x13 inch Vegetable Propagation Tray is an innovative tool for horticulturists focusing on enhancing plant growth efficiency. Designed specifically for crops such as tomatoes, celery, broccoli, and cabbage, this tray features high-density 17cc cell volumes, fostering superior root development through its consistent angling and integrated vertical root training ribs. This not only facilitates efficient root flow and easier plant extraction but also promotes better aeration and drainage, crucial for plant health and vigorous growth. The robust construction ensures longevity and synergy with automated seeding and de-stacking machinery. It also adapts seamlessly with T-rail benching systems, enhancing plant density with a calculated design of 183 plants per square foot. Produced in the USA, this tray is especially useful in large-scale operations with its compatibility with full-truck or partial-truck loads. Such versatile features make it a valuable asset for improving propagation standards in horticulture.
