For nurseries planning to use 70,000 plus nursery trays, Williames can custom design and manufacture a tray to suit your requirements whilst enabling labor saving automation. With 25+ years experience in tray design Williames can work with you to:
- Optimize cell volume and dimensions to grow quality plants whilst minimizing greenhouse size.
- Rapid prototype trays for growing trials prior to commitment to final design.
- Build rugged trays that last for many seasons, minimizing the environmental footprint, and cost, per healthy plug that is grown.
Labor saving features incorporated as standard into Williames nursery trays include ease of destacking (for automatic tray dispensing at the start of a seeding line) and indexing built into the tray for accurate, jam-free automatic transplanting in the Williames selective transplanter.
An additional benefit of using Williames designed trays include their suitability for uniform, even filling in the Williames filler, even with tall, narrow cells that minimize greenhouse size.
Further Advantages of Williames Nursery Trays
The customizable nature of Williames nursery trays makes them a perfect fit for diverse plant types and growing conditions. Whether you are growing small plugs or larger seedlings, the trays can be adapted to provide optimal conditions that promote healthy root development. This flexibility enhances crop quality and helps reduce plant stress, contributing to better overall growth and higher-quality harvests.
Additionally, Williames nursery trays are designed with sustainability in mind. Not only are they built to last, but they are made from durable materials that can be reused season after season, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing environmental waste. This aligns with Williames’ commitment to creating eco-friendly and long-lasting products that help nurseries operate more efficiently while reducing their environmental impact.
Incorporating automation-ready nursery trays also leads to time and labor savings, which can significantly reduce operating costs for nurseries. With trays designed for fast destacking and compatibility with the Williames seeding and transplanting systems, the entire nursery operation becomes more streamlined, freeing up labor for other essential tasks.
