Hydroponic Lettuce Gutter Systems

Hydroponics Abstract   

Hydroponics refers to plant roots in direct contact with nutrient solution without substrate cultivation.

British Cooper in 1973 proposed hydroponic nutrient film technique, referred to as the NFT (nutrient film technique). Its principle is making a very thin layer of nutrient solution (0.5-1 cm) , continue to cycle through the crop roots, not only to ensure a continuous supply of crop water and nutrient, but also to ensure a continuous supply of fresh O2. NFT cultivation makes irrigation technology greatly simplified and do not need to calculate crop water requirement, and it can get  equilibrium of nutrient supply. The isolation of root and soil, can avoid all kinds of soil borne diseases nor need to sterilize soil. 

The advantage of hydroponics

Our company is located in Qingzhou City, Shandong province, cover an area of 7000 square meters, which possesses register capital RMB3,000,000.00, more than 50 stuffs, and which is a high-tech enterprise in the integration of product research and development, process design, manufacturing, installation, sales and after-sales. The company study and introduce domestic and foreign advanced scientific and technological achievements continuously to supply high-efficiency, save-energy and environmental products and solution.
The company’s main scope of business includes: building and installation of glass greenhouse, PC greenhouse, film greenhouse, solar energy greenhouse, sunlight greenhouse; production and sales of greenhouse parts and hydroponics, soilless system; building light steel structure; design, plan and building of garden and park and inner greenhouse; research and promotion of hydroponic vegetable; research and promotion of other agricultural technology and eco-agriculture.

NFT Vertical Hydroponic System:

Vertical type hydroponics system, is mainly used for leaf-vegetable growing. The PVC pipe has round and square type. And all the used PVC pipes are food grade. Each unit of hydroponics cultivation can be customized the length and the layer quantity.

Each unit size 6m*0.4m*2.4m, 7 layers, and 14 rows. The spacing of two units is 0.5m. 

Shelf material: 25mm*25mm hot-galvanized rectangular steel pipe, thickness 1.5mm

Cultivation pipe: PVC round pipe, 110mm thickness 2-3mm, holes distance 250mm (can be customized).

The other planting material includes PVC pipe caps, planting sponge, planting basket, nutrient solution supplying pipe and backwater pipe, etc.
