  • Ellepot Driller: revolutionising transplanting for healthier, more resilient plants.

Transplant shock has long posed a significant concern for young plant propagators. The process of transferring plants from one container to another can often lead to root damage, impairing their overall growth and vitality. At Ellepot, we understand the challenges growers face and are thrilled to present our latest innovation - the Ellepot Driller.

This state-of-the-art machine is specifically designed to augment the use of the Ellepot system by generating perfect-fit transplanting holes in conventional pots, loose-filled trays, or larger Ellepots. The primary goal? Minimising transplant shock effectively.
 

  • Precision and Efficiency in Transplanting

The Ellepot Driller brings a new level of precision and efficiency to the transplanting process. With its user-friendly design and advanced features, this innovative machine is set to redefine how growers approach transplanting, ensuring optimal plant health.

The Ellepot Driller transforms the transplanting process with its ability to create perfect-fit transplanting holes. By meticulously drilling these holes, the machine facilitates an efficient transfer of young plants, significantly reducing the risk of root damage and transplant shock.

This groundbreaking solution empowers propagators to provide their plants with an optimal growth environment, ensuring healthier and more robust plant development. With the Ellepot Driller, growers can embark on a new era of plant production where precision and efficiency converge to deliver remarkable results in the nursery.

 

  • Efficient and Customisable Design

The Ellepot Driller, a manually operated machine, excels in step-up and transplanting processes. It's equipped with drills that are expertly engineered to extract the growth media from Ellepots or loose-filled trays while preserving the essential air porosity and structure of the Ellepot.

Its drill unit can be tailored to fit a range of tray sizes, ensuring adaptability and versatility to accommodate various production requirements. Thanks to the unique wiper feature that effectively recovers any residual growth media, excess media can be recycled for reuse.

 

  • Versatility and High Performance

With the capacity to change drill tools effortlessly, the machine provides flexibility in pot diameter, tray sizes, and drill sizes. Whether you're working with pots ranging from 80 to 120 mm or require different drill sizes from 10 to 50 mm, the Ellepot Driller can adapt to your specific needs. This versatility allows growers to customise their transplanting process and ensure an optimal fit for each plant.

In addition to its flexibility, the Ellepot Driller boasts an impressive capacity, capable of drilling up to 240 trays per hour. This high productivity level significantly enhances efficiency in the production process, enabling growers to streamline their operations and save valuable time. With the Ellepot Driller, you can complete your drilling tasks swiftly and effectively, maximising your nursery's output and achieving remarkable results in plant propagation.

 

  • A Strategic Step-Up Approach for Trees and Shrubs.

For optimal results, we recommend a strategic step-up approach when using the Ellepot system. Begin your crop by planting in smaller 20- 30mm Ellepots placed within a suitable AIR tray. This initial stage provides an ideal environment for young plants to establish their root systems and develop strong, healthy roots.

As the plants grow and reach a more advanced stage, it's time to transplant them into 60 - 120 mm Ellepots housed in AIR trays. This larger pot size offers ample space for root expansion and allows plants to continue their growth with enhanced nutrient uptake.

This step-up process ensures that your plants are well-prepared and equipped for the next phase of their journey, whether it's transplantation into larger containers or direct planting in the field. With this strategic approach, you can promote optimal root development, foster vigorous growth, and set your plants up for success.

With the Ellepot Driller at your disposal, you have the power to revolutionise your transplanting process. Say goodbye to transplant shock and hello to healthier, more resilient plants. Trust in Ellepot's commitment to innovation and excellence as we continue to provide cutting-edge solutions that empower growers worldwide. Experience the difference that precision and efficiency can make in your nursery, and step up to success with Ellepot.
