Greenhouse Heating Systems

Horconex - Greenhouse Boiler Room

HORCONEX takes care of the complete technical equipment of your boiler room. from delivery and placing of the boiler until the connection and installation of the burner and the transportgroups for the greenhouse heating. All loose parts together will be fit into a good working system. Due to safety reasons the connection of the fuel is outsourced. All the rest of the proceedings is carried out very detailed by HORCONEX.

Horconex - Greenhouse Heating System

Heating is required in order to maintain the ideal climate in the greenhouse during colder periods, and to promote crop growth. HORCONEX can design and install the perfect system to maximise returns from your heating system.

Horconex - Greenhouse Heat Storage Tank

In very simple terms, a buffer tank is a storage tank for warm water, i.e. a heat storage tank, that can be used to improve the efficiency of your heating system. Heat that has already been generated can be stored in the buffer for use later on. The required capacity of the buffer tank will be calculated by HORCONEX as an integral part of the heating system design for your whole project.

Greenhouses

Horconex - Cabrio Greenhouse

If the standard ventilation offered by a Venlo greenhouse is inadequate for your crop, the Cabrio greenhouse offers ventilation that will almost certainly exceed your requirements. Rather than relying on 2-pane or 3-pane ventilation windows, the entire roof of the Cabrio greenhouse from HORCONEX can be opened (just like a convertible sports car, also called a `cabrio` in Dutch). This achieves maximum ventilation

Greenhouse Screen Systems

Horconex - Horizontal Greenhouse Screens

With horizontal and/or tent-shaped systems, a flat screen is installed inside at the top of the greenhouse. Most of a greenhouse`s energy is lost through the greenhouse roof, so a horizontal and/or tent-shaped energy screen creates an additional layer of insulation. This system immediately yields the biggest energy savings by reducing radiated heat.

Horconex - Insect Netting

The fitting of insectnetting in your ventilation windows can help stop harmful insects flying in. Installation of insectnetting is a simple, but highly effective, method, especially where crops have to be kept completely insect-free. This helps you ensure product quality by avoiding damage to your crop.

Horconex - Vertical Greenhouse Screen Systems

With a vertical screen system, rolling screens are installed between the purlins. There are lots of similarities between horizontal and vertical screens. Horizontal and vertical screen types exist for all applications, so a screen can be used in all greenhouse types.

Greenhouse Construction

Horconex - Horticulture Venlo Greenhouse

The Venlo greenhouse, offered by HORCONEX, is a versatile solution highly favored in horticulture due to its adaptability and enhanced light transmission. Various models are available, such as the Activenlo®, which features active dehumidification, and the Solar Venlo®, designed for generating green electricity. The flexibility of the Venlo design makes it suitable for a range of crops, including vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, as well as cut flowers and potted plants. The greenhouse's structure supports optimum growth conditions by maximizing natural light penetration, which is crucial for photosynthesis. The Venlo greenhouse can be tailored to the specific needs of different agricultural practices, providing reliable and efficient environments for year-round cultivation. HORCONEX’s expertise in constructing these greenhouses ensures that the specific requirements of each type of crop are met, offering practical solutions to modern horticultural challenges.

Horconex Activenlo - Active Greenhouse Dehumidification

The Activenlo® greenhouse from HORCONEX represents an innovative approach in greenhouse technology aimed at reducing energy consumption while maintaining high productivity levels. Developed following the 'Het Nieuwe Telen' program, this greenhouse design incorporates advanced active dehumidification techniques. The system utilizes a sophisticated ventilation method, where the outer walls have integrated chambers that draw in dry outside air. This air is then mixed with humid air from within the greenhouse to balance the temperature, significantly reducing energy requirements for dehumidification. The result is a more homogeneous environment that minimizes dew formation and reduces crop diseases such as mildew. Through additional insulation measures, energy savings can be doubled, reducing overall consumption by up to 40%. The Activenlo® greenhouse is an efficient solution for achieving climate-neutral and economically viable greenhouse cultivation.

Horconex Activenlo Air - Semi-Closed Greenhouse Climate Control System

The Activenlo®Air represents a significant advancement in greenhouse technology, offering a semi-closed system designed to adapt to various climatic conditions. This integrated climate control solution efficiently manages dehumidification, energy conservation, and CO2 dosing, providing an optimal growing environment. The system`s advanced design eliminates the need for ventilation windows, thereby minimizing insect intrusion, which is particularly beneficial in areas with high insect pressure. The Activenlo®Air combines various climate management functions—heating, cooling, screening, air conditioning, and air displacement—into a unified control system, ensuring precise regulation of environmental factors crucial for plant growth. This makes it a versatile choice for diverse horticultural applications.
