Automatic Line for Benches – 3D Video
Our tray automation line has been designed and developed to optimize workflow stages in greenhouses or nurseries, from the initial pallet unloading phase to the loading onto benches.
This project has been conceived with two possible modes of operation.

Phase 1
This first mode manages the entire tray preparation cycle, from unloading the stacks of trays from the pallets to loading them onto the benches.
- Pallet Unloader: Automated pallet unloading
- DISPES: Trays singulation
- Filling: uniform tray filling with substrate / soil
- Seeding phase: Imprint Roller – Seeding Roller: precision dibbling and seeding
- First watering: Tray irrigation
- Covering with vermiculite: uniform fertilizer distribution
- Second watering
- Bench Loader: automated loading of trays onto the bench
Phase 2
In this case, it is possible to manually transplant (or select or process) the trays filled with soil, followed by their loading onto the bench.
-
Manual transplanting area: the operator takes the trays from the upper conveyor and places them on the worktable, transplants the plant (in this case, a forestry seedling), and places the processed tray onto the lower conveyor.
-
Watering: the transplanted tray continues toward the watering unit.

Key Strengths of This System: Bench Loader
The Urbinati Bench Loader is a machine designed to automatically load trays onto mobile benches coming from an existing automated line. It is custom-built to operate with benches of various sizes and types.
Although conceptually simple, this machine transforms the seeding line into a fully manageable production line, significantly reducing the manual labor required for tray handling.

Why choose Urbinati for your business?
- Modular solutions for every need
- Fully customizable for all types of trays and seeds
- Step-by-step assessment of the workflow with customized solutions and turnkey projects.
- Reduced time and operational costs
- Improved quality and uniformity of seeding
