The KMR-200 drum seeder machine is Taizy’s high-capacity automatic nursery seeder built for commercial seedling production. Using drum vacuum seeding technology, the KMR-200 delivers adjustable capacity of 700-1200 trays per hour with precision exceeding 95% on pelletized seeds.
The full line runs four processes in sequence—soil filling, hole pressing, drum seeding, and soil covering—with variable frequency control to match the speed of every downstream module. A dedicated seed recovery device collects excess seeds and returns them to the hopper, eliminating waste. Standard configuration works with black nursery trays; floating trays can be customized on request.

Advantages of KMR-200 Drum Seeder Machine
- Drum Vacuum Seeding Technology — High-capacity drum mechanism handles 700-1200 trays/hour, ideal for pelletized and uniform-shape seeds
- Seed Recovery Device — Dedicated recovery system collects excess seeds and returns them to the hopper, reducing waste and lowering operating cost
- Photoelectric Sensor Detection — Automatic detection ensures no tray, no seeding—preventing missed seeding and machine jams
- Variable Frequency Control — Adjustable speed for soil filling, seeding, and covering modules, with line-speed matching for stable production
- Modular 3-Section Design — Buy the full line or just the middle drum-seeding section to integrate with your existing equipment
Technical Specifications of Agriculture Drum Seeder
| Tray Type | Row Number Setting |
|---|---|
| 72-cell tray | 6 rows |
| 105-cell tray | 7 rows |
| 128-cell tray | 8 rows |
Do not change the drum speed setting on the display. Adjust only the belt speed knob so the drum rotation and tray travel stay synchronized:
- Belt too fast → seeds drop late
- Belt too slow → seeds drop early
Step 4: Start the Drum Seeder Machine
- After all preparation is complete, set the drum start switch to the ON position
- Adjust the speed of the soil-filling and soil-covering modules to match
- Load empty trays at the front of the soil-filling module to start the line
Step 5: Important Operating Notes
- After every power restart, the drum start switch must be cycled OFF → ON; otherwise, the drum will not rotate
- Do not set the seed vibration adjustment too high
- The air line between the vacuum pump and the drum has a suction adjustment valve for fine-tuning suction force
- The four corners of the drum frame have height adjustment screws. The drum’s lowest point (seed-release position) should sit approximately 10mm above the tray surface. Too high → inaccurate seed placement. Too low → substrate sticks to the suction heads
- Speed coordination: soil-filling speed < drum-seeding speed < soil-covering speed. Each module should be slightly faster than the previous one to prevent tray pileup

FAQs of Drum Seeder Machine
What is the difference between a drum seeder and a needle seeder?
A drum seeder uses a rotating drum with multiple suction ports to pick and drop many seeds in parallel, delivering higher throughput (700-1200 trays/hour on the KMR-200).
A needle seeder uses individual suction needles, achieving higher precision (>98%) on small or irregular seeds
Can I buy just the drum seeding section of the KMR-200?
Yes. The middle drum-seeding section of this drum seeder machine is available standalone, allowing you to integrate it with your existing soil filling and covering equipment. Contact our sales team with your current line configuration to confirm integration requirements.
Does the KMR-200 work with floating trays?
Yes. The KMR-200 ships configured for standard black nursery trays, but floating trays can be customized on request. Send us your floating tray sample and we will customize the drum and guide rails to match—at no additional engineering charge.
Is operator training included with the KMR-200?
Yes. The KMR-200 ships with video installation guides, multilingual operation manuals, and the complete commissioning procedure documented above. Our engineering team provides live video call training sessions during installation, plus 24/7 remote support for any operational questions.
