Description
The pineapple transplanter machine chain‑clamp type employs a driven roller chain equipped with evenly spaced clamp pockets (“clippers”) that grasp individual pineapple suckers from a seedling tray and accurately place them into soil furrows at preset intervals and depths .This pineapple planter approach replaces teams of 15–20 workers needed to manually plant a hectare of pineapple .By integrating the clamp chain, furrow opener, seedling delivery mechanism, and depth control into one unit, the machine achieves high throughput (3,000–5,000 plants/hour) with uniform row spacing and minimal plant damage.
Pineapple Planting Process
A matching (2kw) 18 horsepower or above tractor is hung on the traction frame of the product to drive the transplanter to work; the two ground wheels on the transplanter rotate, and the transplanter is driven to rotate through the sprocket, chain and rotating shaft. The eccentric wheel mechanism, connecting rod mechanism and cam mechanism are used to make the pliers of the transplanter to complete the hole opening and seedling placement process, and then the covering wheel performs the soil covering work, thus completing the entire pineapple seedling planting process.
Seedling Loading & Feeding
Seedling trays are loaded onto a hopper or inclined conveyor. Automatic seedling feeding device positions trays and ejects suckers onto the clamp chain at a controlled rate
Chain‑Clamp Conveyor
A continuous chain with adjustable pitch carries individual clamps (“clippers”) that grip each sucker by its base as the chain advances
Furrow Opening & Planting
As the tractor moves forward (0.8–1.2 km/h), a furrow opener creates a trench at the desired depth. When each clamp reaches the planting point, a cam or linkage mechanism opens the clamp to release the sucker into the soil
Soil Covering & Pressing
Downstream of the release point, soil press wheels or rollers ensure good soil contact around the planted sucker, securing it at consistent depth and reducing desiccation
Adjustment & Control
Operators can adjust clamp spacing (20–50 cm), planting depth (10–15 cm), and forward speed via simple mechanical or hydraulic controls, adapting to different pineapple varieties and row widths
Pineapple Transplanter Features
Chain‑Clamp Delivery System
Precision‑engineered roller chain with replaceable clamps ensures secure grip and gentle release of pineapple suckers
Automatic Seedling Feeding
Integrated tray conveyor and ejection mechanism feed suckers automatically, eliminating manual loading and reducing interruptions
Adjustable Spacing & Depth
Quick‑change sprockets and depth regulators allow row spacing from 30–80 cm and depth from 10–15 cm to suit field layouts and agronomic practices
Tractor‑Mounted or Self‑Propelled
Modular hitch design fits standard three‑point tractor linkage; optional wheel‑driven self‑propelled chassis available for small‑farm use
Rugged Construction
All components use hardened steel and corrosion‑resistant coatings for durability in tropical, acidic soils, ensuring long service life with minimal maintenance
Pineapple Planter Machine Advantages
Labor Savings
Automates planting, reducing manual labor needs by over 80 % compared to hand‑planting (15 workers → 2 operators)
High Throughput
Plants up to 5,000 suckers per hour, allowing a single unit to cover 1 ha in under 2 hours at typical speeds
Uniformity & Precision
Consistent spacing and depth lead to uniform crop emergence, optimized canopy closure, and higher yield potential
Reduced Seedling Damage
Gentle clamping action and controlled release minimize root injury, improving establishment rates above 95 %
Conclusion
The High Efficiency Pineapple Transplanter Machine Chain Clamp Type revolutionizes pineapple planting by combining automatic seedling feeding, precision clamp delivery, and robust engineering. It slashes labor costs, accelerates planting, and boosts yields through uniform, damage‑free transplanting.
