Sod peat production

MERIPEAT sod peat machinery – powerful and reliable

The sod peat production machines developed and manufactured by Suokone have become industry favourites around the world. The success of these products is based on their effectiveness, reliability and availability of spare parts. MERIPEAT peat machinery has been developed over decades on the basis of customer feedback and experiences. MERIPEAT sod peat machinery produces clean and high-quality sod peat.

  •  Sod peat machines are suitable for both large-scale and small-scale sod peat production.
  • Turners are used for turning over sod peat gently but effectively.
  • Windrowers are used to form windrows before harvesting the sod peat.
  • Sod peat loaders are used to load clean sod peat.
  • Peat trailers are used to transport ready sod and milled peat to stock pile.

SOD PEAT MACHINES

Reliable and powerful sod peat machines

Disc-type sod peat machines offer the advantages of reliability and the power needed even to cut any trees in the bog. The cutter disc cuts the peat from the bog and feeds it into the extruding unit, where it is compacted into sod peat.

There are three types of extruding units:

  • PK 1 SL C5 conical extruders
  • PK 1 SL R12 flat head extruders
  • PK 1 SL W60 wave sod extruders


Two cutting disc models are available:

  • Cup-type cutters
  • Spout-type cutters

Sod peat machines can be equipped with an optional levelling drum, which compacts and evens out the coarse track left by tractor wheels. In this way, the sod peat drops onto a level and clean base, which facilitates faster drying.

Optional equipment:

  • FT-44 safety clutch
  • Levelling drum

TURNER

Turner

Turner for turning over sod peat

The MeriPeat turner is quiet but extremely effective. Its spikes are interlinked by chains that slide underneath the sod peat. Compared to traditional turners, the MeriPeat turner dries the sod peat much faster, as the sod peat is lifted off the strip surface when turned over.

The turner can be switched to transport mode hydraulically, direct from the cab, which enables easy transfer between production areas and bogs.

WINDROWER

Windrowers for screening and making windrows

Separate pick up elements operated by a tube conveyor efficiently screen any impurities mixed with sod peat, while handling the sod peat with care.

The windrower can be attached to either the front or rear 3-point linkage of the tractor. The windrower has a hydraulic transmission. The hydraulic pump is powered by the tractor’s PTO.

SOD PEAT LOADER

Sod peat loader

Sod peat loaders for loading clean sod peat

The sod peat loader is towed behind the tractor. Pick up conveyor elements can be featured by either a tube conveyor or discs.

The pick up bar lifts the sod peat onto a screening tube conveyor, which transfers them to a screening cross conveyor and finally along a belt conveyor into the trailer.

The tube conveyor effectively screen any impurities mixed with sod peat, while handling the sod peat with care.

The rotation of the screening cross conveyor can be reversed, allowing the loader to be used also for small-scale windrowing.

The hydraulically controlled drawbar can be moved laterally by almost 600mm, which significantly facilitates turning in the end of strip.

The transmission features a mechanical T-gear and PTO shafts, making it extremely durable, reliable and easy to maintain.

Supporting drums help support the implement while levelling the surface.

PEAT TRAILER

Peat trailers for sod peat and milled peat

Peat trailers are designed to be sturdy yet lightweight for both sod peat and milled peat production. Eight large bogie wheels ensure steady transportation even across soft surfaces. The side-tilting skip makes it easy to unload the trailer next to stock pile.
