Soil blocking system VM2070


"The new way of making soil blocks”

The soil blocker is a part of the Visser product range since the company started to specialize in intelligent and revolutionary horticultural technology.

Initially, the soil blockers were imported, but soon Visser started with the development and innovation of this concept, where soil is compressed in a block in which can be sown. In 2005, Visser started to search for improvements for the soil blockers, which have been a proven system for the last four decades. 

This survey threw light on the demands in the current market asked for by the customers of plant breeders. The customer demands become higher, especially when it comes down to the block quality.

Nowadays the blocks need to have the following qualities:

  • The soil density of the block must be adjustable in order to work efficient and accurate in the used automatic field planters.
  • The measurements of the block should be accurate and the edges always straight.
  • The bottom of the block should be equal and free of irregularities.
  • The block should have an even density.
  • All blocks in the plant breeders box should be of equal height (especially the outer two rows).

In addition there are higher demands on how user friendly the machine operation is. Important are:

Process
With the new version of the soil blocker you are no longer depending on skills, the whole process is driven by the machine. The mechanical and electronic control process is fully automatic. This guarantees a constant quality.

Robustness
Where necessary, the machine is constructed more heavy duty for a longer life time.

Ease of seeding
It is possible to mount several types of seeders on the VM2070, to reduce down time between different batches and have the option to sow different types of seeds.

Phyto-drip®
The Phyto-drip® is a high tech option on the VM2070. With Phyto-drip® it is possible to dose a controlled volume of pesticides at the seed in the block. The end user will need less pesticide and saves on labour. 

Dummy pil
The VM2070 also offers the opportunity to work with a “dummy pill”. This pill is added with the seed in the block, allowing the right amount of pesticide is dosed.

Sound level
Due to the modifications the new blocker is significantly quieter than the previous models and other available brands.

Degree of maintainability
The state of technology makes the machine very reliable, the machine is also equipped with an error message display. For a large part of the errors you are no longer depending on the supplier, you  can the problems yourself.

Central lubrication system
The central lubrication system that is used reduces maintenance on the machine.
