PaperPot — paper seedling pots

Machines for producing paper pots (PaperPot)

The complete INNOVATECH equipment range for making biodegradable paper pots (plugs), filling them with substrate, sowing seeds and arranging them into trays — from compact machines to fully automated lines.

Advantages of paper pots

100% biodegradable

The pot fully decomposes in the soil within 3–6 months. Plant straight into the ground — no plastic trays, disposal or waste.

Transplanting without stress

The plant is set out together with its pot, so the root system stays intact. Survival rate is close to 100%, with no seedling losses.

Healthy root system

Air root pruning prevents roots from spiralling and builds a strong, fibrous root system before the plant is ever transplanted.

Earlier, even harvest

Seedlings start growing right after planting and develop uniformly — reaching marketable produce sooner.

Labour savings

Automatic forming, substrate filling and planting together with the pot speed up planting work several times over.

Frequently asked questions

A method of growing in biodegradable paper pots. The pot is not removed at planting — it breaks down in the soil, the root system is not disturbed and establishment rates are higher.

A pot-making machine, a tray-arranging unit, a substrate filler and a sowing unit. You can take individual machines or a fully automated line.

Primarily containerized forestry planting stock, and also vegetable and flower seedlings where establishment after planting matters.

PaperPot automates several operations at once in seedling preparation, increases output and reduces the amount of manual labour.

A paper pot preserves the formed root ball and reduces damage to the root system at transplanting. The technology is also well suited to automating mass seedling production.
