RAKER

uses different PowerPlug tray sizes to meet specific production requirements. There are three standard plug tray sizes: 128, 285, and 505. There are also three standard strip trays: 18, 36(25), and 51. Strip trays are used primarily for unrooted cutting (or vegetative liner) production:Plug trays are used primarily for seed production; our 285 and 505 tray sizes are common element compliant.

Although each tray size provides different characteristics and uses, all plug trays have the same exterior dimensions. These dimensions are referred to as the Full Tray Equivalent (FTE). The FTE makes the shipping and handling process more efficient for our customers.
