Insulator Arch Greenhouses: Affordable High-tech Growing Systems
With the advent of Agra Tech’s poly roll-A-roof installed on the Insulator greenhouse, High tech growing systems become affordable for more growers.
The Insulator gutter connected greenhouse outfitted with a roll-A-roof , curtain, opening sides and/or fan and pad cooling with winter heating provides unprecedented control over the growing environment.
These features can be used in a variety of combinations to create a huge range of environments in the structure, thus allowing the grower to respond immediately to market changes.
The investment in automation and environmental options pays off by saving utility and labor costs for the life of the structure so the grower can be competitive.
A less obvious but important benefit is that wholesale customers see a commitment to quality production as well as a long term commitment to remaining involved in the industry.
The photo above shows an open roll-A-roof installed in the Insulator 30 for Takao Nursery in Fresno, CA.
roll-A-roof and shade curtain reduce dependence on fan and pad cooling. (Part of the range not shown has roll up side and end walls and are cooled by natural ventilation only.)
Motor managers for exhaust fans cut the cost of running the fans up to 50%.
Benches maximize utilization of space.
A combination watering boom/conveyor belt keeps labor costs to a minimum.
As you see, this grower is committed to quality and to remaining competitive.
