SunBlaster Super Thick Wheatgrass / Drain Tray

An Injection-Molded Tray Built for Daily Wheatgrass Cutting

Wheatgrass grown for daily commercial cutting puts a tray through more repeated handling than most other crops, since the same tray gets watered, cut, cleaned, and reseeded on a tight cycle. SunBlaster's Super Thick Wheatgrass Tray is injection molded, rather than vacuum molded like the company's other thick trays, at four times the thickness of an industry-standard 1020 flat.

The denser, injection-molded build is meant to hold up to that daily commercial cycle better than a vacuum-molded tray, which is why it's become a common choice for high-volume microgreen and wheatgrass production specifically.

Key Features & Benefits

• Injection-Molded Construction — produces a denser, heavier-duty tray than vacuum molding.
• Four Times Standard Thickness — built to withstand daily commercial cutting and handling.
• Built for High-Volume Production — sized and reinforced for wheatgrass and microgreen operations.
• Standard 10x20-Inch Footprint — fits common 1020 racking and shelving alongside other standard trays.

Who Should Use This Tray

This tray fits commercial wheatgrass and high-volume microgreen growers who cut and reseed trays on a tight, repeating cycle, where a lighter vacuum-molded tray would wear out faster under the same daily handling.

About SunBlaster

SunBlaster produces propagation trays for both home and commercial growers from its base in Langley, British Columbia, with the wheatgrass and drain tray line specifically engineered around the injection-molding process rather than the vacuum-molding used across the rest of its standard tray line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this tray different from SunBlaster's other thick trays?

This tray is injection molded rather than vacuum molded, and it's built and marketed specifically for high-volume wheatgrass production rather than as a general-purpose propagation tray. The injection molding process produces a denser, heavier-duty tray suited to daily commercial cutting.

Can this tray be used for crops other than wheatgrass?

Yes, while it's built and marketed for wheatgrass, the same four-times-thickness, injection-molded construction also suits other cut-and-drain crops. Growers producing microgreens at high volume, or running general commercial propagation where durability matters more than shallow depth, use the same tray.

Does this tray drain, or does it hold water like a standard tray?

It's built as a drain tray, so it's suited to setups where excess water needs to pass through rather than pool in the growing media. That drainage matters most for a crop like wheatgrass, grown at high density and cut repeatedly.

How long does an injection-molded commercial tray like this typically last?

Injection-molded trays are built to withstand daily commercial handling, including repeated cutting, washing, and restacking, over many growing cycles rather than a single season. Actual service life depends on how the tray is cleaned and stored between crops.
