Turn-key concept

Together with one of the biggest cutting producers in the world, we developed a revolutionary system to create great efficiency in cutting transplanting. The system consists of a transplanter and a compatible unique strip and tray combination that complete the system and create a turnkey concept. The cuttings harvested from the mother stock can be directly stuck in the AutoStix® Strip.

Strip

The AutoStix® strip has been designed to enhance and guide the development of the root system. The strip is biodegradable and degrades over time. It is available in 34 and 51 counts and can hold cuttings with different stem diameters without damaging the soft tissue.

Multimedia strip

The unique Multimedia strip is designed to be filled with any media type. The rooting process of cuttings takes place as soon as they are inside the plug at the mother stock location, providing growers with another revolution in automatic transplanting.

Machines

The AutoStix transplanters are equipped with three or six grippers and combine speed with accuracy to achieve a capacity of respectively 6.000 and 12.000 cuttings per hour. Autostix is used to transplant unrooted cuttings (URC) from the unique AutoStix strip into trays and pots in trays with the AutoStix 3GT and 6GT. Transplant into pots with the Autostix 3GP and 6GP.

Storability

AutoStix® provides many advantages besides automation. The system includes storability for the plants. Once the plants arrive at the grower, each strip can be positioned in a small layer of water. The stem will be in a film of water, and the rest of the plant will stay dry. Plants can be stored like this over a specific period. This helps break the transplanting peaks at the grower.

Advantages

Capacity

Peak seasons

AutoStix® is a turn-key concept which helps you get the job done in the 10-12 weeks during peak season when millions of cuttings need to get stuck.

Ease of use

Counting

The strip makes counting cuttings easier. Workers can see at a glance the uniformity and number of cuttings in the strip: no more short or overfilled bags.

Cost-saving

Labour

The automated sticking process removes the challenge of finding and training a workforce at the rooting stations where seasonal staff is more difficult to find.
