How a Tiling Machine Works

• Self-propelled (trenching/plow)• Pull type

Types of Tiling Machines

• Tile is put on a reel• Tile is feed thru the puller (if equipped)

How A Self-Propelled Tiling Machine Works

• Tiling machine is engaged and begins driving backwards, pulling the plow

• Tile is then forced thru the power feeder to the chute• Tile goes down the chute and into the ground

• After tile has been placed, soil is backfilled over the tile in the ground

• Laterals and mains are laid individually, and are later tied together with an excavator

• All tiling machines traveling directions are run off of GPS (specifically RTK)

• Height of tile, slope of tile, and direction of machine are operated off laser or GPS

GPS Driven

• Tiling machine install 120-140 ft/min• Roughly 25,000-35,000 feet per day• Longer the tracks, the better (traction wise, not all about

horsepower)• Cuts anywhere from 3 to 7.5 ft deep• Costs range from $400-$500, depending on soil type and

location
