Ferrari Futura and Futura Twin - Automatic Transplanting Machine
This machine has been developed to have high-technology characteristics. It has been projected for the automatic transplanting of vegetables and tobacco stored in trays. It requires just one operator loading the trays into the charging slide of each single planting element. Each element of the machine is provided with a system, which automatically pulls out, from the longer side of the tray, the plants of the same row. These plants will be then taken from further movable grippers which supply the distributor.
- Working capacity per hour for each row or for each element up to 8`000 plants/hour.
- Rear pressing wheels adjustable from 0 to 130kg (from 0 to up 2801b).
- High adaptability to the trays on the market
- Electric eyes device for control and elimination of the missing plant from the tray to the transplant with a selecting system acting before dropping the plant into the cup.
- High tolerance for different grounds
- High tolerance for the plant length by 18cm (7.09")
- Left/right oleo-dynamic balancing and parallelism to the ground to transplant.
- Able to work on flat ground as much as on raised beds and also on those grounds already traced and fertilized.
N.B. The working capacity per hour of the machine is subjected to the quality and completeness of the tray as well as to the plant and its substratum.

The machine works by itself (only one operator is required to feed the transplanter robots with trays). Every robot extracts the seedlings using a technology based on cylindrical plungers combined with moving fingers. There is no need to use a specific tray to run FUTURA, the machine will be adapted to the tray selected by the user: this is one of the features that makes the Ferrari automated planter a very innovative and versatile machine.
The plants will then be grabbed by mobile pliers which will place them in the dispenser.
One of the features that make FUTURA a totally innovative machine is the fact that it is possible to carry out transplant operations without having to change the type of panel in your possession. The transplanter can in fact be set in relation to the panel you want to use.
