Automatic Sleeving Machines
Automated sleeving for an efficient and professional finishing process
The final stage of the production process is just as important as cultivation itself. Sleeving protects plants during transport, improves presentation, and prepares products for delivery. At the same time, manual sleeving is repetitive, labor-intensive and often creates bottlenecks during peak periods.
The Terra automatic sleeving machines, now part of the WPS Smart Staff portfolio, automate this process. By combining reliable sleeving technology with intelligent greenhouse automation, growers can increase capacity, reduce labor dependency and achieve a consistent finishing process.
Designed for speed, consistency and flexibility
Automatic sleeving machines place sleeves accurately and consistently around each plant, regardless of production volumes. This creates a smooth finishing process with less manual handling and a professional presentation for retailers and consumers.
The machines can be configured for different pot sizes, plant types and sleeve formats, making them suitable for a wide range of products.
Part of an integrated greenhouse automation process
The real strength of the Terra sleeving machines lies in their integration within the WPS automation systems.
Combined with SmartFlo, the Plant Order System and Smart Staff robotics, plants move automatically from cultivation to sorting, processing, sleeving and internal logistics.
Instead of separate machines, growers benefit from one connected process where every system communicates and works together. This reduces manual handling, improves workflow and brings greenhouse operations one step closer to Handsfree Plant Production.
Built on proven technology, ready for the future
For many years, Terra has been a trusted name in automatic sleeving solutions for potted plants. By bringing this technology into WPS, growers continue to benefit from the proven reliability of Terra while gaining access to the service, innovation and system integration expertise of WPS.
Existing Terra customers can continue to rely on spare parts, technical support and future product development, while new customers benefit from a complete automation partner for greenhouse operations.
