Con-sisting of seven business units, all of them leading com-panies able to compete in an international, environment, sharing their experiences, assets and cultures among the-mselves.The advantage of being born and developing within a ? -nancial, educational and researching network is intensi? ed by the Mondragón Cooperative Experience.Since 1979 ULMA Agrícola manufactures its own mate-rials to build greenhouse structures, using completely auto-mated processes ranging from shaping the tube to the end product and distribution thereof. Its large multidisciplinary engineering department is trained to undertake any project successfully, applying the latest design and calculation technology to make the most of the customer's available resources.In order to provide comprehensive “turnkey” facilities de-signed to achieve maximum production, in terms of both quality and quantity, the company also provides an engi-neering, installation and specialist after-sales service.It ful? ls European design and installation regulations in for-ce under the UNE 13031-1 STANDARD, using processes in which the Total Quality policy prevails, having received the ISO 9001 certi? cate.ULMA AGRÍCOLA IS A COMPETITIVE, EVER-DEVELOPING COMPANY THAT IS SPEZIALIZED IN COLLABORATING WITH GROWERS, PROVIDING A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF UNDER COVER GROWING SYSTEMSULMA Agrícola counts on a large sales network, both nationally and internatio-nally, that provides assessment on each grower's needs.4 MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSESULMA'S MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSE IS A MODULAR, EASY-TO-INSTALL SYSTEM, DESIGNED TO CREATE OPTIMUM CONDITIONS FOR EACH CROP.multi-spanThe various components of the Multi-span range are de-signed to ? t perfectly using screwed joints, which makes the installation process easier and absorbs better the va-rious stresses that act on the structure. Its robustness and ability to adapt to the measurements and features of the terrain makes it a structure very much in demand.ULMA Agrícola greenhouses ful? l the requirements of the UNE-76-208/92 Spanish Greenhouse Standard for “Mul-ti-span greenhouses with plastic coverings”. This standard speci? es the loads and combinations to be considered when calculating greenhouse structures.Screws are bichromate in accordance with UNE 76.208/92 standards and 8.8 quality in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO 898-1:2000 standard. Excess load calculations are based on the recommendations of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (CECM).As regards aluminium components and beams, they ful? l mechanical characteristics in accordance with the UNE-EN 755-2:1988 standard and dimensional characteristics in accordance with the UNE-EN 75-9:2001 standard.Within the Multi-span range, the Gothic model is de-signed to achieve more inside space. The gothic form of the structure and the slope of the arches makes better use of sunlight and also reduces the risk of dropping onto the crop, due to a better drainage into the gutters. The struc-ture design makes the most of the inside space available in the greenhouse.ULMA Agrícola standardized greenhouses ful? l the fo-llowing:• European UNE –EN 13031-1 Standard for “Green-houses. Design and construction. Part 1: Greenhouses for commercial production”• RP 00.47 “ Speci? c AENOR regulation for green-houses”.• UNE 76209 IN “ Wind action on commercial green-houses”.ULMA Agrícola S.Coop was the ? rst Spanish manufacturer to receive standardization of its greenhouses in accordance with the UNE –EN 13031-1 standard and is currently the only manufacturer that owns the AENOR Certi? cate.MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSES 5 GOTHIC MULTISPAN (G)MODEL M-6 M-8 M-9 G-8 G-9Bay width 6,40 8.00 9.00 8.00 9.60Spans 2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50Distance betweenexternal pillars2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50Distance betweeninternal pillars5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00Crop support bar 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00 2.50Gutter height 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00Ridge height 4.85 5.35 5.85 6.35 5.20 5.70 6.20 6.70 5.45 5.95 6.45 6.95 5.60 6.10 6.60 7.10 6.00 6.50 7.00 7.50 CIRCULAR MULTISPAN (M)Bay widthGutter HeightBay widthGutter height1.5 m3.4 m 2.0 m 1.2 m6 MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSESridge windowsLocated on the ridge, they allow a uniform ventilation in the facility.

This allows the climate variables inside the greenhouse to be controlled.A gear reducer opening system transmits the motion through a chain coupling to a transmission axis and gear rack every 2.5 m.In the case of roll-up windows, the opening is created by the plastic ? lm being rolled around a main axis.motorizationFront and side doors, side pillar reinforcements, K reinforcements, are just some of the components that ULMA provides to complete the standard structure. structureaccessories8 MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSESULMA screens help to control:thermal and shade screens8 MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSESlightULMA Agrícola screens are very useful to reduce the amount of sunlight entering the greenhouse, by re? ecting it instead of absorbing it by using the right amount of aluminium for each level of shade that achieves maximum “shade effec-tiveness".humidityThe lower side of the screens has an excellent capacity of absorbing heat radiation from the ground. This means that the screen stays at a high temperature to avoid condensa-tion and dew formation on it.The screen design allows steam to pass easily through it. In normal growing conditions, no condensation drops are formed on the lower side of the screen.The drops that could fall from the roof are trapped in the screen and led to the screen's ? bre system where they are dried, avoiding their fall on the crop.temperatureULMA Agrícola screens use transparent ? lms and alumi-nium sheets that block outgoing radiation. The transparent strips on the screen absorb heat radiation and allow PAR light to pass through. The laminated aluminium strips recei-ve heat without allowing this to escape above.When closed at night, the screens trap heat inside and re-duce damage due to freezing. When closed during the day, they reduce the amount of sunligh entering the greenhouse, helping to a better con-trol of the inner temperature.In both cases a strong energy saving is ensured.reduced foldingThe screen has a ? exible and easily-folding structure that once folded takes up minimum space and allows the maximum amount of light to enter.MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSES 9THEIR EXCELLENT FINISH MAKE THEM IDEAL FOR PRESENTA-TIONS AND SHOWS.growing benchesThe growing benches consist of trestle made of galvani-sed steel, aluminium pro? les and rounded corners made of plastic.? xed benchesThe ? xed benches are available in widths of 1.6m, 1.8m and 2.0m, with no limits on length and a standard wor-king height of 0.8m, with the possibility of adjusting them to achieve a levelled surface. portable benchesUnlike ? xed benches, portable benches include two black rubber, high-adherence multi-direction wheels underneath each trestle. These allow the entire bench structure to be moved. At the ends of the bench, one of these two wheels is ? tted with a brake system that avoids accidental move-ments. Available in widths of 1.6m, 1.8m and 2.0m.mobile benchesMobile benches are available in widths of 1.6m, 1.8m and 2m (maximum recommended length 20m). In this type of bench, a system consisting of rolling tubes, bea-rings, guides and roll over protection allows the tray pla-tform to be moved sideways over the supporting structure ? xed to the ground, just like the ? xed benches. With this system, the access aisles to the benches are created when they are moved, which makes the most of the surface used the growing.Depending on the purpose for which the bench is used, any of the above-mentioned models can be se-lected with a PVC or grille bottom.PVC bottom Grille bottom10 MULTI-SPAN GREENHOUSESACDEFHFlujo de aireGBAir recirculating fans have an in? uence on climate quali-ty and homogeneity in the greenhouse.
