Maan BioBased Growcoon - Dispenser
We take it a step further. You can use our Growcoon dispenser to fill your trays with Growcoons, either manually or fully automatically. A dispenser can fill up to 50,000 tray holes per hour. A manual dispenser is separate from the filling line. The fully automatic dispenser, on the other hand, is integrated in the line, so you can create your own cutting and seed plug (with substrate of your preference) at the touch of a button. Properly filled in your own tray.
Realising your ambitions, whether they concern producing more efficiently, improving your process, reducing waste, scaling up or expanding, is difficult if you rely on manual methods. If you want to look beyond these limits, technology is the solution.
Realising your ambitions, whether they concern producing more efficiently, improving your process, reducing waste, scaling up or expanding, is difficult if you rely on manual methods. If you want to look beyond these limits, technology is the solution. A root ball in a Growcoon is easy to pick up mechanically, without it falling apart, so it’s an excellent solution for your automated planting and transplanting processes.
The Growcoon is made of a biodegradable polymer. Depending on your crop, you can choose between two types: the Regular Growcoon or the Progressive Growcoon. The latter, as the name implies, degrades faster. This degradation starts as soon as the Growcoon is put into use.
The degradation rate is affected by factors such as humidity, pH value, temperature, substrate type and your crop itself. You can influence many of these factors. Grow as a pro! The Growcoon experts at Klasmann-Deilmann are happy to help you on your way.
You can fill your Growcoons as you wish, with the substrate and substrate density of your preference. That means you can decide to fill your Growcoons more loosely, making the substrate more airy, or vice versa. You create the best conditions, so that your crop can develop at a rapid pace.
A Growcoon model is available for every type of tray (and gutter or float). The conical shape forms an air buffer between the tray and the root ball, so it literally breathes and creates an optimal microclimate where plant roots can grow unhindered. Another advantage is that the roots suffer much less damage during transplanting.
You decide which substrate to use, so you can do what’s best for your specific crop. The substrate experts at Klasmann-Deilmann provide advice tailored to your specific situation, and know exactly which substrate types and mixtures succeed in combination with the Growcoon.
The Growcoon isn’t just completely degradable, it’s also compact and stackable. This helps reduce transport costs, and represents yet another gain in terms of sustainability.
This Growcoon has a resilient base, so much fewer loose particles end up in the system. That makes it perfect for crops on a recirculating water system. If a plant extracts nutrients from water, substrate is only needed to bind the root ball. The Growcoon largely takes over this function, allowing you to reduce your substrate consumption by up to 75% in hydroponic cultivation systems. A healthy profit guaranteed!
