Soil Mixers and Compressed Bale Shavers

For customized small batches, beginners, and hobbyists, nothing beats the Pack Mfg. 1/2 yard Batch Mixer.  

For customized small batches, beginners, and hobbyists, nothing beats the Pack Mfg. 1/2 yard Batch Mixer.  

The Pack Mfg 2 Yd Batch Mixer follows in the footsteps of previous versions, allowing for a much greater volume to be blended in the same short time span. 

For the high-volume nursery and greenhouse grower. The Pack Mfg 3 Yd Batch Mixer can deliver enough media to run many automated potting and filling tasks at moderate speeds, producing enough growing media to fill 240 3-gallon pots with every batch.  

The Pack Mfg. 4 Yd Batch Mixer is a true behemoth. With the capability to produce enough grow media per mix to fill 320 3-gallon pots! The 4 Yd Batch Mixer can keep an automated system running at high speeds and near maximum production, limited only by keeping the mixer filled with media or soil and bottlenecks in production capabilities.  

The Pack Manufacturing Inline Soil Mixing System allows full control over your mixing processes. Control every factor from ingredient ratios to feed rate and volume. Your Inline Mixing System can be configured with multiple hoppers for each base bulk material and additive. A collection of recipes will allow you to mix the specific blend you desire with the push of a button. The Pack Mfg. Inline Soil Mixing System is the premiere grow media and soil mixing system, capable of meeting the most pressing production demands. 

The Pack Mfg. ComPACK™ Mixer hosts a large 4 cubic yard hopper for bulk material, a chemical hopper of your choice (either high or low volume), bulk hopper cross agitator, a high-speed, heavy duty mixing head, and touchscreen controls. Mixing recipes can be stored on the touchscreen controls for future use. Standard models come equipped with 10 different recipe settings, CNC milled water bars, and adjustable legs.   

The Peat Fluffer is ideal for decompressing or "fluffing" 3.8 cubic bales of compressed peat or pre-mix media. The fluffer's rotating tines uniformly break up chunks of peat as they pass from the loading area to the discharge at the top of the incline.  

The PM1200 Vertical Bale Shaver will produce a consistent texture and flow from every bale. Just place the palletized bale inside the machine, close the doors, and press start. 

The horizontal design and lowered profile of the PM1210 allows it to fit into lower structures than the PM1200 model. 

Pack Mfg hoppers can be accommodated to store virtually any type of material- including soil, peat moss, perlite, bark, sawdust, gravel, fertilizers, chemicals, granular materials, coal, or mixed compounds. 

The Pack Manufacturing Coir Batch Mixers- available in Half Cubic Yard, One Cubic Yard, and Two Cubic Yard models. The Pack Manufacturing Coir Batch Mixer uses the Batch Mixer design with a water-tight sealed output chute, clamping door, Heavy Duty motor package, and dual CNC milled water bars 

 The batch mixer is designed for uniform blending of a wide variety of materials, such as peat, bark, soil, sand, chemicals and fertilizers. The ribbon blender channels material from the hopper sides through the center, resulting in a quick even blending and easy material removal through the center discharge hatch. The direct-drive power transmission is more efficient and eliminates the maintenance problems of chains and sprockets. The mixer comes with an integrated incline out feed conveyor that has a direct drive gear reduced motor and can be folded up out of the way when not in use.

The Peat Fluffer is ideal for decompressing or "fluffing" 3.8 cubic bales of compressed peat or pre-mix media. The fluffer's rotating tines uniformly break up chunks of peat as they pass from the loading area to the discharge at the top of the incline. The optional watering bar enables the desired amount of moisture to be added and helps to maximize the yield of the bale. Optional adjustable caster wheels allow the fluffer to be easily moved to service multiple filling machines. Consistent media, increased compressed bale  yield, and labor efficiency combine to make the peat fluffer a valuable tool for the grower who uses 3.8 cubic foot bales. 

Specifications:

• 10ft x 14in cleated incline conv.
• 220 vac, single or 3 phase
• Bale handling shelf

Options:

• Custom conveyor lengths
• Caster wheels
• Electronic controlled watering bar

Features:

 If you are using peat moss or pre-mix substrate, the PM1200 Bale Shaver will produce a consistent texture and flow throughout the entire bale. Just place the palletized bale inside the machine, close the doors, and press start. The elevator feeds the bale into the horizontal scraper that takes off thin layers of the peat or pre-mix substrate. This is undoubtedly the best process for compressed bale yield with the ability to control moisture content and product integrity. 

 Specifications:

• Maximum bale size 55" W x 52-3/4" D x 113" H
• 230 VAC, single or 3 phase
• Processing speed: 4 to 5, 110 cubic ft. bales per hour

• Weight: 3,150 lbs.

​Features:

• Bulk material low level sensor
• Auto water application or no water
• Touch screen control panel
• Variable speed motors for precise control
• Enclosed design creates less dust     

Whether it's peat or pre-mix, the PM1210 Horizontal Bale Shaver delivers consistent media texture and flow from the top of the bale to the bottom. The palatalized bale is placed on the platform, lifting up and tilting into the steel chain flight that acts as a harrow to evenly extract the peat or pre-mix, layer by layer. Improved processing maximizes compressed bale yield and moisture content consistency.    

 Specifications:

• Maximum bale size 55" W x 52-3/4" D x 113" H
• 230 vac, single or 3 phase
• Processing speed: 4 to 5, 110 cubic ft. bales per hour

 As more growers have adopted Coir coconut fibers due to its natural pH balance and renewable nature, traditional mixers have struggled with the heavily compacted media and fibrous structure. To accommodate these growers, the Pack Mfg Line of Mixing Equipment is offering the Pack Manufacturing Coir Batch Mixers- available in Half Cubic Yard, One Cubic Yard, and Two Cubic Yard models. The Pack Manufacturing Coir Batch Mixer uses the Batch Mixer design with a water-tight sealed output chute, clamping door, Heavy Duty motor package, and dual CNC milled water bars. Using the dual water bar attachment to flood the coir bale helps separate the fibers without damaging them and breaks down the tightly compacted coir so that it mixes the ingredients into an unparalleled blend. The Heavy Duty motor package ensures your mixture will be evenly blended even when using dry recipes. Add on a Coir Breaking Conveyor to expedite your coir mixing even more by breaking your coir down into smaller pieces before it enters the mixer.
