The FERRARI FUTURA is a fully automated transplanter. It can work with vegetables stored in trays of different sizes and materials, whther hard plastic, foam or disposable. The machine only requires one operator to feed the transplanter robots with trays. Every robot extracts the seedlings using a technology based on cylindrical plungers combined with moving fingers. The machine can be adapted to the tray selected by the user so there is no need to use a specific tray to run FUTURA: this is one of the features that makes the Ferrari automated planter a very innovative machine.
The transplanter carousel turns in clockmotion (STOP&GO). This guarantees a constant drop of the plants from the carousel to the shoe and it is this that delivers the high level of performance per hour and the accuracy of both planting depth and plant spacing.
FUTURA is equipped with a self-cleaning kicker in the ploughshare, preventing dirt accumulation in the shoe. Clock-motion rotation combined with the self-cleaning kicker can guarantee a perfect plant timing without the need of doing any adjutment on the planter.
The FUTURA yield is extremely high: up to 8,000 plants/hour/row. This transplanter can work up to 24 h/day - 7 days/week without any yield drop. The machine can work both on flat ground and raised beds and it is available both in tractor pulled and self-propelled version. The self-propelled version can guarantee: easy manoeuvrability, reduction of dead times with no need for professional tractor driver.
