Proptek - Model 032S10ID -Air Pruning Propagation Trays and Containers for Fruit and Nut Trees
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.
32 cell Ellepot/Proptek propagation Air Tray® growing system for trees and shrubs designed to hold a 50mm Ellepot.
This Air Tray® is packed full of the latest design features to ensure an incredibly natural root system and the very best plants possible.
One of the key concepts with the Ellepot/Proptek system is how compatible with automation it is. Serious time and money efficiency savings can be made throughout the whole growing process, right from filling, to sorting & grading to shipping out of the door.
The Ellepot supports the growing media and holds it together whilst the roots are growing, meaning they can be moved or transplanted far sooner than in traditional systems. The Ellepots and the Air Tray® support the plants in their early stages and stops them drying out too fast. The inserts are held in such a way that also allows enough air movement for great aeration and drainage and fantastic air pruning of the root system.
This size Ellepot can be easily bumped up to a large Ellepot (Such as 100mm or 120mm). A hole is drilled in the larger Ellepot and the 50mm is simply slotted in, making bumping up a very quick and efficient operation.
Once the trees are grown to the desired size, the Ellepot insert can be removed, packaged and sent to the field or customer without any plastic leaving the nursery, helping to ensure trays never go missing.
The Air Tray® comes in four versions: with feet, with lugs, with feet and lugs or the plain Air Tray®. Foot version allows the Air Tray® to be raised off the ground away from standing water to allow air to better flow around the base to help air pruning and reduce disease. The ‘lug’ option enables the Air Tray® to easily be guided on a T-rail benching system.
