Product Description
Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically and horizontally stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. One of vertical farming grow as below mentioned;
Vertical Farm Agriculture
| A-shaped aluminum alloy structure; |
| Water flows to the water wheel via the pump; |
| Cultivation trough rotates at a constant speed, driven by the rotation of water wheel; |
| The grow system rotates a circle in 3~5 hours (adjustable); |
| Make plants to absorb sunlight and nutrients more evenly -Make plants to grow better, faster and more evenly -5~8 times yield of the ordinary flat plant methods; |
| Save more space. |
Advantages
-
High yield
When compare with traditional monolayer farms, our vertical farming system intensifies land use and can result in at least 10 times more yield per unit land area.
-
High quality
The structures are housed in a controlled environment which enables stringent control of input materials to bring about food supply, food safety, food security and food quality assurances.
-
High flexibility
Made of aluminium and steel, the modular structures are robust and yet highly customisable and scalable. Structures can be tailor-made to suit different crops, growing media and natural conditions, even allowing cultivation on originally non-arable lands.
-
Low energy use
With the harnessing of natural sunlight, there is no need for artificial lighting. Rotation is powered by a unique patented hydraulic water-driven system which utilises the momentum of flowing water and gravity to rotate the troughs. Only 40W electricity (equivalent to one light bulb) is needed to power one 9m tall tower.
-
Low water use
With the plants irrigated and fertilised using a flooding method, there is no need for a sprinkler system thereby eliminating electricity wastage, as well as water wastage due to run-offs. Only 0.5 litres of water is required to rotate the 1.7 ton vertical structure. The water is contained in a enclosed underground reservoir system and is recycled and reused.
-
Low maintenance
Being housed in a protected environment ensures that the system can be relatively maintenance-free and have low manpower dependency. The rotating troughs and intensified plant to plot ratio also mean high manpower efficiency.
