The ESTREA is a high-efficiency electro-pneumatic plug de-popper engineered for fully continuous tray processing.

Utilizing an automated cross-bar feed system, the machine precisely positions arriving containers over the pin plate without requiring manual operator alignment. From there, bottom-up plate pins push directly against individual soil cubes, eliminating sidewall friction to extract seedlings with their root plugs completely intact.

By removing the plant cleanly without damaging delicate stems or root structures, the ESTREA produces a uniform, transplant-ready plug perfectly optimized for manual transplanting or high-speed automated field transplanters.

Early, clean extraction also prevents root-binding and encourages a thick, healthy secondary root network. Built for maximum versatility, its continuous automated feed system easily adjusts to work with virtually any commercial tray type or cell configuration.
