摘要

A gantry frame (4) carries an input supply belt (2) a dosing selection system (3) and a suction head assembly (5). The bulbs are carried to the alignment assembly (9) where the bulbs are aligned so that they are point up. The suction head carries a matrix of bulbs to the compost holder (11). The compost holders are delivered and removed by another transverse conveyor.
