GROWING SYSTEMS’ Convertible Plug Dislodger is designed to accommodate several sizes of plug trays, using a common frame. The entire unit is hot-dip galvanized after welding, and heavy duty construction assures positive alignment. Pins are made of aluminum.

• Floor Model Plug Dislodger, equipped with 4-inch caster wheels, is easily moved to various locations.
• Exchangeable Inserts and Hold-Down Units, installed with thumb screws, allow several plug tray sizes to be dislodged with one machine.
• Available with Manual Foot Treadle or Automatic Air Assist.
• Depth of pin penetration is adjustable.
• The top hold-down cover is designed so the unit does not have to be locked during dislodging. Locking device is optional.
• Pneumatic air cylinders (A) are automatically actuated when the guiding shelf (B) is rotated into position, locking the hold-down rods (C) tightly between rows of cells. This action is controlled by a micro-switch (D).
• Effective hold-down of trays with staggered rows is accomplished by inserting tray under the long rods, which are adjustable for height and side-to-side positioning.
• Model on front page is for trays with straight rows, using shorter rods for hold-down guides.

Aluminum rivets (A) “float” slightly, allowing the tapered end to locate the correct position under the drainage hole.

Holding rods (B) eliminate the need for a Hold-down lid, enabling tall plant material to be dislodged.

All Propagating and Plug Trays should be dislodged before transplanting,

provided all such trays have good mechanically-made drainage holes.
