SB52: TTA TLF S-DIAS Tray & Flat Loader with AES Panelshop B.V. Control Panel (2022) and TTA TTL Midi Pot Flat Transplanter, 230/400 VAC 3-Phase, UL Type 1, 800 Trays/hr Capacity – Automated Transplanting and Tray Handling Line

This lot, SB52, consists of a TTA TLF S-DIAS Tray & Flat Loader paired with a TTA TTL Midi Pot Flat Transplanter, forming a high-efficiency transplanting and tray-handling system. Designed and built by TTA (Technical Automation Specialists, Netherlands) with a UL Type 1 AES Panelshop B.V. control panel, this system automates tray loading, plug transplanting, and staging for nursery or propagation lines. 1. TTA TLF S-DIAS Tray & Flat Loader Automated loader that positions trays or flats onto mobile trolleys. Trays move through a buffer and stepper conveyor that feeds into a tilting belt and pusher bar assembly, gently transferring trays to the trolley. A guided decline plate ensures smooth handling, and the trolley automatically indexes forward to match tray size and layout. Specifications: Manufacturer: TTA (Technical Automation Specialists, Netherlands) Model: TLF S-DIAS (Tray & Flat Loader) Control Panel: AES Panelshop B.V. (2022 build) Voltage / Frequency: 230/400 VAC, 50/60 Hz Phase: 3-phase Full Load Current: 6 A Largest Motor Load: 1.73 A (2.02 kW) Enclosure: UL Type 1 Construction: Stainless and aluminum frame, wash-down compatible Throughput: Up to 800 trays/hour Operation: Automatic trolley loading with buffer, stepper, and tilting conveyors Condition: Excellent physical and operational condition 2. TTA TTL Midi Pot Flat Transplanter Automated transplanter for inserting plugs into pots, trays, or flats. The TTL Midi uses servo-driven precision grippers and adjustable spacing/depth programming to optimize transplant consistency across various plug sizes. Specifications: Manufacturer: TTA Model: TTL Midi Pot Flat Transplanter Voltage / Frequency: 230/400 VAC, 50/60 Hz Phase: 3-phase Full Load Current: 10 A Largest Motor Load: 4.22 A Total Power: 7.06 kW Short Circuit Rating: 5 kA RMS symmetrical @ 400 V max Enclosure: UL Type 1 Construction: Stainless/aluminum frame, servo and pneumatic operation Function: Automatic transplanting of plugs into propagation flats or pots Condition: Excellent System Integration & Performance Together, the TTA TLF loader and TTL Midi transplanter form a synchronized, high-speed propagation system ideal for indoor farming and greenhouse propagation. Both machines are built for long-term reliability and easy sanitation, with stainless-steel structures and high-quality European components. This system was installed as part of Bowery Farms’ 2022 automation expansion. The TLF system automates loading of propagation trays or flats onto mobile trolleys. A buffer and stepper belt combination aligns and stages trays before the tilting conveyor belt and pusher bar advance them smoothly onto the trolley surface. A guided decline plate ensures gentle placement, while the trolley automatically indexes forward to match tray size and spacing. Built for commercial horticulture, hydroponic propagation, and vertical-farming environments, this loader dramatically reduces manual labor and ensures consistent alignment of trays for downstream transplanting or seeding operations.
