While compressed peat moss and grow media bales are great for shipping, hardened soil is bad for root growth. Whether it’s peat, coir, substrate, or premix, the Pack Mfg PM1210 Horizontal Bale Shaver delivers consistent media texture and flow from the top of the bale to the bottom. The palleted peat moss bale is placed on the platform, lifted up and tilted into the steel chain flight that acts as a harrow. As the chain bring the peat into the processor, it evenly extracts the peat or premix, layer by layer. Improved processing maximizes compressed bale yield and uniform moisture content consistency. The 1210 Horizontal Bale Shaver is an improved evolution of the PM1200, capable of adapting to more processes. The horizontal design and lowered profile of the PM1210 allows it to fit into lower structures than the PM1200 model. The watering bar option comes standard on all Pack Mfg PM1200 series Bale Shavers.
