Hydroseeding equipment, also known as a hydroseeder, operates on a very ingenious principle. Its core components include a mixing system, a pumping system, and a spraying system. First, grass seed, fertilizer, water, and other materials are placed in a mixing tank in appropriate proportions. The mixing system rotates at high speed to thoroughly combine the materials. The pumping system then pressurizes the mixture and sprays it through the spraying system’s nozzles. The mixture adheres firmly to the soil and is not washed away by rain.

Where Can a Hydroseeding Spraying Machine Be Used?
Hydroseeding equipment has many uses.
- It is particularly useful on slopes. When building roads or railways, the soil on both sides of the slope is loose, making manual seeding prone to slipping. Hydroseeding equipment ensures that the mixture adheres closely to the slope, effectively preventing soil erosion after the grass is planted.
- It is also suitable for parks and lawns. Large lawns in residential areas can be seeded with hydroseeding, completing an area the size of a football field in a single day, with uniform, even growth. 3. In mining area reforestation projects, it can spray a mixture onto hardened slag to help restore vegetation. Even in deserts, a mixture containing a special water-retaining agent can help grow grass to combat sandstorms.
What Are the Performance Characteristics of a Hydroseeder?
- Hydroseeding spraying machines offer impressive performance. They can spray very far, with standard models reaching 15-20 meters and larger models reaching up to 30 meters, easily reaching even high slopes.
- They are also very fast, with small models capable of spraying 800 square meters per hour and large models covering 10,000 square meters per day.
- They are easy to move, with small models able to be mounted on pickup trucks or minivans for easy relocation.
- Large models have tracks, allowing them to maneuver smoothly even on muddy construction sites or rugged slopes. They are also very fuel-efficient, using 20% less fuel than traditional equipment after eight hours of continuous operation.
How to Operate Hydroseeding Equipment?
- First, prepare the materials. Pour grass seed, fertilizer, water-retaining agent, and water into the mixing tank according to the correct ratio. For example, add 5 kg of grass seed and 2 kg of fertilizer per 100 liters of water.
- Then, start the machine, turn on the stirring switch, and let it stir for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes a uniform slurry.
- Next, drive the machine to the work area and adjust the angle and height of the spray gun.
- Then, turn on the spray switch and slowly move the machine forward, ensuring that every area of the ground is sprayed.
- After spraying, clean the mixing tank and spray gun with water to prevent residual mixture from caking and clogging.
