Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for producing seed pillows are disclosed herein. An exemplary system may include a first water-soluble film that is configured to receive a seed cluster, and a second film. The exemplary system may further include an ultrasonic welding wheel and a roller with a plurality of recesses located on an outer rim of the roller. Each recess of the plurality of recesses may include a hole through which suction is applied, and each seed cluster may be disposed over a recess. The roller may be configured to apply suction to the first water-soluble film, rotate through a contact point with the ultrasonic welding wheel to fuse the first water-soluble film to the second film without contacting the seed cluster to create a seed pillow, and release the seed pillow from the recess.
