Poppelmann TEKU Round Pot | Black - 4.75in D x 4.75in H - Max Liquid Volume 1.0qt (Case of 1440)

Extra-Tall Round Nursery Pot Built for Bench Automation, 4.75in

Automated potting lines and bench systems only run smoothly when every pot in a batch behaves the same way under a filler head, a watering boom, and a gripper arm, and even small dimensional drift between pots can jam equipment or leave some cells over- or under-watered. Poppelmann TEKU Round Pots are precision-molded in Germany to tight tolerances, so watering, drainage, and automated handling stay consistent from one pot to the next across an entire production run.

This extra-tall 4.75in D x 4.75in H pot holds 1.0qt maximum liquid volume with a multi-hole profile bottom, pairs with UT 12/8 F US trays, and ships in a case of 1440.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision-Molded Construction — tight manufacturing tolerances keep watering, drainage, and machine handling consistent pot to pot.
• Multi-Hole Profile Bottom — evenly spaced drainage holes support root health and reduce waterlogged pockets.
• Tray-Matched Design — each size pairs with a specific compatible tray so bench and conveyor systems run without gaps or overhang.
• German-Engineered Durability — holds its dimensions across large production runs, an important trait for automated lines.
• Black Nursery Finish — a standard, UV-stable black finish suited to commercial greenhouse and nursery production.

Who Should Use Poppelmann TEKU Round Pots

These pots fit commercial growers running automated potting lines or bench systems who need pot-to-pot consistency at scale, as well as nurseries standardizing on a single tray-and-pot system across multiple crop sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tray fits this pot?

Each TEKU Round Pot size is engineered to pair with a specific companion tray, listed in this pot's own specifications. Matching the pot to its designated tray keeps bench spacing and automated handling consistent.

How does pot-to-pot consistency affect an automated line?

Automated fillers, watering booms, and gripper arms are calibrated to a specific pot geometry, so even small dimensional drift can cause jams, uneven fill, or inconsistent watering. Precision molding keeps every pot in a batch within the same tight tolerances.

What kind of drainage does this pot use?

It uses a multi-hole profile bottom with evenly spaced drainage holes, which spreads water movement across the base of the pot rather than concentrating it at one or two openings. That supports more even root development across a crop.

Is this pot suited to automated potting lines?

Yes, its precision-molded tolerances are built specifically to support consistent machine handling on filling, watering, and conveyor equipment. Growers running manual potting benches get the same consistency benefit without needing automated equipment.

Where is this pot manufactured?

Poppelmann molds the TEKU line in Germany across its own production facilities rather than through third-party contract manufacturing. That in-house control is part of how the company holds pot dimensions to tight tolerances across large runs.
