PLC Greenhouse Tray Needle Seeder

KMR-100 greenhouse tray needle seeder with Siemens PLC control, 500-1200 trays/hour adjustable speed, >98% precision, stainless steel body.

The KMR-100 greenhouse tray needle seeder is a high-capacity automatic nursery seedling machine from Taizy, designed for commercial-scale production. It pairs a Siemens PLC control system with a stainless steel body, delivering adjustable capacity of 500-1200 trays per hour at over 98% precision.

Unlike semi-automatic or compact models, the KMR-100 tray seeder runs the full cultivation process—soil covering, hole pressing, seed sowing, and a second soil covering—in a single continuous line.

Add the optional soil conveyor and watering modules, and the system becomes a complete seedling production solution for greenhouses, commercial seedling centers, and large-scale nurseries.

Siemens PLC Control: Industrial-Grade ReliabilitySiemens PLC and Siemens touch screenThe same automation platform trusted in European and North American manufacturing facilities. Built for 24/7 production, this is industrial-grade hardware, not a generic controller.
Automatic Photoelectric Sensor DetectionAutomatic photoelectric sensorsMonitor tray position, seed drop, and material flow in real time. The system pauses automatically if a tray misaligns or a seed hopper runs low, preventing jams and missed seeding. Industrial-grade fault detection at this price point is rare in the market.

Four-Step Process Flow of Greenhouse Tray Needle Seeder

The KMR-100 greenhouse seeding machine completes the nursery seeding workflow in a single pass:

  1. Soil Covering — Substrate is evenly distributed over the tray surface
  2. Hole Punching — Precisely calibrated needles punch seed holes matched to your tray’s cell depth
  3. Seed Sowing — Vacuum needle suction drops one seed per cell at over 98% accuracy
  4. Final Soil Covering — A thin vermiculite or substrate layer locks in moisture and covers the seed

With the optional soil conveyor and watering part added, this tray seeding line becomes a complete cultivation solution—trays enter empty and exit pre-watered, ready for the germination chamber or greenhouse.
