g) Setting compactness of the soil (in the pot)
A special feature of Mayer potting machines is that you can
set the compactness of the soil in the pot.
This depends on:
1. Drilling in or out the soil mixture
2. Setting the filling quantity by setting the drawer
3. Type and size of pressing plate
Comment to 1:
Depending on the relevant setting of the drill
motor’s reverse
switch, you can operate an anti-clockwise or clockwise rotation
of the drill (counter-clockwise rotation is possible only with
standard drill).
When it rotates clockwise, it drills out the soil, and when it
rotates counter-clockwise, it drills in the soil (compacts). Cross
shaped plate of standard drill bit distributes the soil in the pot.
The standard drill may be used in both directions.
Special drills may only be used for drilling out. Flat edge of the
drill bit and deep grooves are especially favourable in case of
thick soil mixtures, pine-needles and for loose filling.
Comment to 2:
Filled in quantity may be set by the drawer with adjustable
height. Larger quantity of soil results in more compact filling
while soil filling drawn down at the edge of the pot results in
loose filling.
Comment to 3:
Function of the pressing plate is to hold the pot and to keep rest
of the soil during drilling. When the gap between outside
diameter of the drill and hole of pressing plate (e.g. 6 cm dia.
drill with pressing plate hole dia. of 7 cm) is small, then only a
little amount of soil is removed and the filled soil is compact.
When this gap is larger (e.g. 6 cm dia. drill with pressing plate
hole dia. of 9 cm), larger amount of soil is removed and the
filled soil is less compact. The pressing plate with soil addition
leaves a soil heap on the pot which may be compacted by
