Effective heating & CO2 management can be effectively achieved with a buffer tank. A buffer tank, also known as a heat storage tank, is primarily used for short term heat storage and smoothing out energy peaks, resulting in energy and cost savings. Buffer tanks can be supplied in a horizontal as well as a vertical configuration.

Each one is unique in its own kind: Cultivation for medicinal purposes and niche products requires special attention. Since it is to be used for medicinal use, this must be performed very sterile. Niche products are often subject to frequent research, development, innovation and often also patent law.

Future-oriented energy efficiency: There are various reasons for installing a screening system. For example, screens can be installed to darken the greenhouse, control the emission of light, or for energy efficiency or sun protection. This system often serves multiple functions. A screening system can make a major contribution to energy efficiency without adversely affecting production. Before deciding to install a screening system, it is important to clearly identify its requirements. Screening systems vary according to type of crop. Besides a broad selection of screen fabrics, there is a wide variety of possible screening systems. The screens can also be used to (climatologically) separate parts of the greenhouse. In their open position, the screens take up no more space than absolutely necessary.

Automation goes hand in hand with knowledge of the business. It must be possible to completely facilitate the production of crops, whereby quality and quantity are priority. The ideal combination of light, air and water is key to quality and quantity. Electrical engineering provides the basis and allows everything to be connected and embedded in a process automation shell. In short, automation comprises all the equipment used to control or regulate the technical installations inside the greenhouse, whilst electrical engineering involves the power supply for all equipment and installations present within the greenhouse.

Efficient climate control: Every grower wants to efficiently control the climate inside the greenhouse in order to achieve optimum quality and production output. The heating system is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse’s blood circulation, because the main objective of a greenhouse is to maintain a suitable temperature 24 hours per day. A properly regulated temperature ensures that the crops grow and that quality can be achieved. Controlling the temperature by means of the heating system makes it possible to meet production requirements. There are many climate-control options, so customised advice is key to achieving the right balance between quality, price and energy consumption.

Water saving: The rapidly growing population of the Earth requires enhanced agricultural innovation to scale up production with limited resources. Greenhouse cultivation reduces water consumption as compared to open-air farming.  There are four primary reasons: 1) plants lose less water through evapotranspiration, due to the decreased wind, increased humidity, and regulated temperature in the greenhouse environment, 2) drip irrigation systems improve the efficiency of water usage, 3) crops are spaced more closely, thus reducing water wastage, and 4) the crop cycle in a greenhouse is typically shorter than in the open-air, resulting in less water used over the entire growing season.

Using your space efficiently: A cultivation system facilitates the cultivation of vegetables, flowers and plants by making the growth and development of crops more manageable. This often increases production and improves the quality of the harvested product compared with crops in open ground cultivation. Furthermore, the available space can be used more efficiently. A growing gutter systems, for example, saves on labour and production costs and increases yield.
