Bale Shavers and Breakers, along with Peat Fluffers, are the ideal solution to decompressing bales and palletized peat moss. Compressed peat moss has many advantages in shipment and storage, however, when it comes to potting and growing, compressed peat moss has many disadvantages. Thawing frozen peat bales is time consuming, and compacted peat requires more water and produces heavier pots. USGR’ line of Bale Shavers and Breakers eliminate these disadvantages and keep your operations running at maximum capacity. Even the most compressed peat moss bales won’t stand a chance!

PM1200 Vertical Bale Shaver

If your operation uses peat moss, coir, or mixed substrate, the PM1200 Vertical Bale Shaver will produce a consistent texture and flow from every bale. Just place the palletized bale inside the machine, close the doors, and press start. The elevator feeds the bale into the horizontal scraper that takes off thin layers of the peat, coir, soil, or premix substrate.

Decompressed peat moss can flow from the outlet into a hopper or conveyor line to provide a consistent textured media for mixing or potting operations. This is undoubtedly the best process for compressed bale yield with the ability to control moisture content and product integrity. Touchscreen controls and variable speeds allow this machine to be adaptable to your operation.

Output speed can be slowed or increased based on your volume needs. The machine can be automated to only start once a low level of media is detected, thus refilling the hopper or potting station. The watering bar option comes standard with our PM1200 series Bale Shavers. The enclosed design helps to reduce the amount of particles in the air, especially when used in combination with watering solutions.

Leasing option available.
