The WILLIAMES HERCULES GIANT UNIVERSAL POT & BAG FILLER is the world’s first potting machine with a fully integrated five cubic meter feeder bin and multi-station overhead conveyor system—engineered for maximum throughput, zero waste, and total operator flexibility.
This machine isn’t just big. It’s built for scale, speed, and adaptability. The Hercules Giant enables two operators in the front or reverse soil flow for two operators at the rear to fill, plant, and finish pots or bags simultaneously, with fingertip control over soil flow at every station. Whether you’re running solo, in pairs, or with a full crew, the Giant adapts instantly—no tools, no downtime.
The five cubic meter feeder bin delivers soil via a continuous cleated chain elevator to a top horizontal conveyor, which feeds up to four potting and bagging stations. Each station can be run solo with variable soil flow, paired for two-person sequential filling and planting, or activated together for full-crew operation—each operator controlling soil flow and on/off with foot or knee switches.
The overhead conveyor can also reverse to supply high-volume soil to rear stations, supporting huge pots and bags on turntables for easy planting of large trees and shrubs. At every station, a sloping mesh or roller conveyor ensures excess soil falls through and is automatically recycled back to the feeder bin, eliminating manual cleanup and waste.
