ZipGrow ZipPod - Container Farming System
A turnkey fully functioning hydroponic vertical farm capable of growing food virtually anywhere on Earth. The ZipGrow ZipPod is the next generation of container farming technology. It harnesses our patented ZipGrow™ Towers and years of experience farming in all areas of the globe*. This has allowed us to build the best container farm on the planet purpose-built in a composite-steel container.
A turnkey fully functioning hydroponic vertical farm capable of growing food virtually anywhere on Earth.
The ZipGrow™ ZipPod is the next generation of container farming technology. It harnesses our patented ZipGrow™ Towers and years of experience farming in all areas of the globe. This has allowed us to build the best container farm on the planet purpose-built in a composite-steel container.
The ZipPod System is for extreme conditions or to grow within a small footprint. Developed for placement around the globe to deliver perfect produce year-round. Each farm serves a unique purpose in the diversity and scalability of a farmer’s business.
A single ZipPod is a fully functional and financially viable business. They are designed to eliminate supply chain headaches by delivering produce when and where you need it. They are the most cost-effective option for container farming in the world without sacrificing the quality of yield.
The Container.
Built For Full Climate Control.
Designed to maximize usable space, larger 10’ x 10’ x 40’ containers allow for increased air circulation and quality crop yields. With composite, rust-resistant panels rated at R22, ZipPod can operate anywhere on earth and maintain an optimum controlled environment indoors.
Purpose-built LEDs.
Performance Lighting System.
Customized, slim profile, 2-sided LEDs are purpose-built from decades of research and testing. High-efficiency LEDs mean a lower unit BTU, or heat signature, which in turn means less wasted energy to disperse. Field tests resulting in superior plant flavor and increased plant density means knowledge and performance beyond PAR.
Real Climate Control.
Replicate Any Growing Climate.
A truly controlled environment results in consistently uniform and productive crop yields. The climate control system reduces energy consumption by up to 50%. Air-homogenization delivers the perfect environment at every moment.
Sustainable Farming.
Vertical Hydroponic Growing Perfection.
A hydroponic, closed-loop system uses 95% less water than a typical outdoor farm with similar yields. Energy-efficient and adjustable components use less than 30% of the energy of a large soil-based farm with similar yields. Less than 5% crop loss means consistent yields for customers.
Built for Extreme Conditions.
From The Desert to the Arctic.
The ZipPod System is purpose-built for extreme conditions and small spaces. Developed for placement around the globe to deliver perfect produce year-round. Each farm serves a unique purpose in the diversity and scalability of a farmer’s business. Suitable for use in areas +/- 45C (-50F to 115F).
We have developed a hydroponic farm in a steel container that grows food all year round at maximum efficiency.
