Conviron products

Conviron continues to lead the industry with innovative solutions in controlled environment systems. For applications that require the large capacity of a greenhouse with the precision of a growth chamber, we now offer our new Conviron Growth House. Amalgamating select features of our walk-in rooms and research greenhouse, our new Conviron Growth House provides a large capacity in a single room and is available in many size configurations.

Supplemental lighting is a requirement for most research applications. Conviron has developed a patented lighting system that is capable of uniformly delivering 300 micro-moles of supplemental light. High intensity discharge luminaires designed specifically for this application are mounted on an adjustable rig that is easily raised or lowered to provide a constant light intensity at the plant growth canopy. Ballasts are remotely located in the corridor to eliminate waste heat in the growing environment, reduce the obstruction of natural light, and provide easy access for maintenance.

Various bench designs are available including rolling benches with ebb and flood irrigation trays, expanded metal tops, or solid tops mounted on the bench. The rolling bench is a Conviron design that provides ease of use and safety. Requiring only a slight pushing force, bench tops can roll back and forth facilitating ease of access between benches while maximizing the growth area. The bench top and sides can be opened to access the conditioning system coils and mechanical components for maintenance.

With its unique ability to adapt to four different research applications, the Adaptis A1000 offers an economical and flexible equipment platform. The base chamber itself can be fitted with one of four specially configured kits, and each kit is specifically designed for a particular application including: Plant Growth, Arabidopsis, Tissue Culture, and Incubation. By varying the configuration of the airflow, light, and shelving, each kit defines one of the four applications. The A1000 is also available with several options such as phenolic coated coils and network communication. The phenolic coated coils enable the A1000 to be used for entomology research while the communications option facilitates connection to a facility’s local area network.

The ATC60 provides an exceptional growth-area-to-footprint ratio. It uses a top-mounted refrigeration system that accommodates servicing from the front of the chamber, and that simplifies on-site installation. The ATC60 offers three tiers with almost 60 ft² (5.5 m²) of growth area in a 25 ft² (2.32 m²) footprint. With a growth height of 20 inches (510 mm) above each shelf, the ATC60 is ideally suited for Arabidopsis and other short to medium height plants. Standard on the ATC60 is a flood tray at each tier to simplify plant irrigation. Please consult Conviron regarding specific requirements.

The BDR16 is designed for high-end plant physiology research where tight performance is critical to ensure a consistent plant canopy temperature throughout the chamber. To achieve tight performance, this unit employs a constant temperature lamp bank, cooled by the refrigeration system, which results in a constant light intensity output regardless of operating temperature. With 65” (1650 mm) of growth height and 16.2ft² (1.5 m³) of growth area, the BDR16 accommodates tall plants to maturity. Please consult Conviron regarding specific requirements.

The GEN1000 SH kit is ideal for short plant growth in propagation, genetics, physiology and other moderate light experiments. Horizontal airflow over multiple shelves optimizes growth area for shorter plants, like Arabidopsis. The GEN1000 comes standard with broad-spectrum, energy-saving LED lighting. For those wanting more growth space, an extra tier is available as an option.

The GEN2000 SH kit is ideal for short plant growth in propagation, genetics, physiology and other moderate light experiments. Horizontal airflow over multiple shelves optimizes growth area for shorter plants, like Arabidopsis. The GEN2000 comes standard with broad-spectrum, energy-saving LED lighting. For those wanting more growth space, an extra tier is available as an option.

The PGC FLEX offers the ultimate in flexibility and is ideal for use in facilities with multiple research programs. In its standard configuration the chamber operates as a single-tier highlight growth chamber with a counterbalanced light canopy and upward airflow. A simple conversion alters the chamber’s configuration to either a double or triple tier configuration with medium light intensity and horizontal airflow. The unique flexibility of the PGC FLEX makes it ideal for use in facilities with multiple research programs. Please consult Conviron regarding specific requirements and options such as extended growth height.

The GEN1000 TA tall plant kit provides upward airflow, maximum growth height and light intensity for taller plants such as cereal crops, horticultural plants and silviculture. The GEN1000 comes standard with broad-spectrum, energy-saving LED lighting.
