The Pack Manufacturing PM1002 Double Potter not only ensures an even, uniform fill with every container, but this equipment also offers some amazing production capabilities. One of our best-selling units, the PM1002 potting machine is versatile enough to fill all your potting needs! The surge in production and efficiency with the Pack Mfg.

The Pack Manufacturing 4 Yard Field Potter is the mobile solution to potting in the field. While most indoor potting operations are focused on a central location and can be ergonomically designed for speed and efficiency, field operations often lack this luxury. The extremely heavy-duty Pack 4 Yard Potter brings that organization and efficiency to the field. A 7 feet long take-off conveyor with 180° swivel feed comes standard on every Pack Manufacturing 4 Yard Field Potter. Not only can these conveyors be operated manually, but the Field Potter can also be connected to other Pack Mfg. equipment. If you can stand to more than triple your field operation production, then the Pack Mfg. Field Potter line has something for you.

The Pack Manufacturing 10 Yard Field Potter is a behemoth that brings the full potential of mobility to your outdoor growing operations. While most field operations lack the convenience and efficiency of indoor potting lines, the Pack Manufacturing 10 Yard Field Potter brings everything except the roof. The heavy-duty Pack Mfg. 10 Yard Field Potter is engineered for speed and strength. The 10 yard field potter can power through heavy mixes with the drag chain hopper and UHMW bed, carrying 2.5 times more media than a standard 4 Yard Potter. A 10 feet long take-off conveyor with 180° swivel feed comes standard on every Pack Manufacturing 10 Yard Field Potter. If you could stand to improve your field production numbers, then the Pack Manufacturing 10 Yard Field Potter was made for you.

The Willburg Projecten Bark Topper is a system that rotates the pots at a predetermined speed to evenly distribute bark, nut shells, rice hulls or any media to your required depth. The Bark Topper has 7 variable speed motors that enable you to individually control speed, rotation, and material flow at rates at up to 5000 pots per hour. A photo eye starts and stops the machine allowing for minimum recycling of media and precise distribution without having to vibrate the pot. The machine is of solid, durable construction built to give many years hard service.
