At Vertex Agriculture, we take pride in our expertise in crafting state-of-the-art agricultural equipment, pushing the boundaries of innovation and efficiency in the modern era.
Glass greenhouses are ingeniously designed for optimal plant cultivation, capitalizing on the exceptional light transmission properties of glass. This creates an ideal lighting environment that significantly boosts plant growth. With an impressive transmittance rate of over 85%-90%, our glass allows ample sunlight to penetrate, maximizing the photosynthesis process for thriving plant life. Moreover, it meticulously maintains an optimal indoor temperature, establishing a unique microclimate that remains largely unaffected by external weather conditions. During colder seasons, our glass greenhouses smartly minimize heat loss, providing excellent insulation. Conversely, in hotter months, they are equipped with advanced ventilation, shading, and other systems to efficiently regulate temperature, safeguarding plants from heat stress and ensuring uninterrupted growth.
A glass greenhouse is a building facility with a specific frame structure. Frames are usually made of metal (such as steel), including columns, beams, trusses and other parts, which are combined to form a solid spatial framework to provide support for the installation of glass. The design of the frame should take into account the weight of the bearing glass and the pressure of resisting natural external forces such as snow and snow to ensure the safety and stability of the greenhouse. |
1. Glass greenhouse is mainly used for plant cultivation. It uses the good light transmission of glass to create suitable lighting conditions for plant growth. The high transmittance of glass (generally more than 85%-90%) can make most of the visible light in the sun pass through, ensuring that plants can fully carry out photosynthesis. At the same time, it can effectively maintain the indoor temperature and form a microclimate that is relatively independent of the external natural environment. In the cold season, the glass greenhouse can reduce the loss of indoor heat and play a role in insulation; In the hot season, the temperature is adjusted through supporting ventilation, shading and other facilities to avoid excessive temperature damage to plants.
2. In addition to plant cultivation, glass greenhouses can also be used for agricultural production activities such as flower planting and vegetable seedling cultivation, and in some cases, it is also used to display rare plants and hold horticultural exhibitions, such as tropical plants in some botanical gardens, flower exhibition greenhouses, etc., to provide people with places of appreciation and popular science education. |
A glasshouse is a semi-permanent or permanent building. Its construction needs to follow certain building codes and standards, and there are corresponding requirements in site selection, infrastructure construction, drainage, etc. Its appearance is usually more structured to adapt to the installation of glass and the use of internal space. And the scale of the glass greenhouse can be flexible according to actual needs, from small single-house greenhouse for home gardening, to large multi-house greenhouse for agricultural industrialization. |
Ventilation System
1. Natural Ventilation System: This innovative system primarily leverages side windows and top windows to accomplish optimal airflow. Side windows, strategically positioned on the greenhouse sides, can be operated either manually or electrically. Meanwhile, the top window, expertly situated at the greenhouse apex, offers versatile opening mechanisms such as rack and pinion. As indoor temperatures rise, hot air naturally ascends and exits via the top window, while cooler outdoor air seamlessly enters through the side window. This process ensures natural ventilation, effectively balancing indoor temperature and humidity levels for enhanced plant health.
2. Forced Ventilation System: This advanced system is equipped with powerful exhaust fans strategically installed at one or both ends of the greenhouse. When natural ventilation falls short, especially during sultry summer days, the exhaust fans spring into action. They efficiently expel hot indoor air while facilitating the influx of fresh air from outside, achieving rapid cooling and superior ventilation for an ideal growing environment.
Sunshade System
1. External Sunshade System: The sunshade net is innovatively installed on the greenhouse's outer top side, allowing for automatic or manual adjustments in response to light intensity and indoor temperature, controlled electrically. This system expertly blocks excessive sunlight, significantly reducing light intensity and heat penetration, thereby maintaining optimal temperatures during scorching summers. It ensures plants are safeguarded from intense light burns, promoting healthy growth.
2. Internal Sunshade System: Nestled within the greenhouse interior, this system not only provides essential shading and cooling but also enhances night-time heat preservation. It effectively reflects sunlight to limit heat absorption while deftly managing light distribution throughout the greenhouse, ensuring an ideal growing environment and energy efficiency.
Irrigation System
1. Drip Irrigation System: A quintessential irrigation solution in glass greenhouses, this method channels water via pipes to precise drip heads positioned near plant roots. Each droplet permeates the soil, allowing precise water control and minimal evaporation, thereby reducing waste. Additionally, fertilizers can seamlessly blend with the water, delivering nutrients directly to plant roots for precise, efficient fertilization, optimizing growth and resource use.
2. Micro-Sprinkler Irrigation System: Sprinkler heads, situated at the greenhouse's top or elevated above plants, disperse water as fine droplets, enhancing air humidity to suit humidity-loving plants. This method covers expansive areas and simultaneously irrigates multiple plants, ensuring even hydration and thriving growth conditions.
Heating System
1. Hot Water Heating System: Utilizing boilers, water is efficiently heated and circulates through strategically placed pipes either on the ground or within the greenhouse space. This method evenly releases heat, raising indoor temperatures with precision control. It also allows for the repurposing of waste heat into other operations such as warm water irrigation, enhancing energy efficiency.
2. Hot Air Heating System: This dynamic system employs hot air fans to rapidly introduce heated air into the greenhouse. Its flexibility allows for the adjustment of air supply outlets' positions and angles, ensuring a balanced and efficient heat distribution tailored to specific needs.
Control System
The intelligent control system stands as a pivotal element of the glass greenhouse. It meticulously monitors and governs critical environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation. Sensor data-spanning temperature, humidity, and light-feeds into the controller. Based on preset parameters, the controller autonomously fine-tunes ventilation, shading, irrigation, and heating equipment, thus facilitating precise environmental control. This ensures the creation of optimal conditions for robust plant growth, maximizing productivity and resource use.
