Vertex Agriculture, a pioneering force in modern agricultural solutions, excels in crafting cutting-edge technologies that revolutionize the way we cultivate.
The glass greenhouse, a marvel of agricultural innovation, serves as a premier environment for plant cultivation. By harnessing the superior light transmission properties of glass, this system establishes ideal lighting conditions, crucial for robust plant growth. With an impressive light transmittance rate of over 85% to 90%, it ensures that a vast majority of visible sunlight permeates the structure, facilitating optimal photosynthesis. Furthermore, this greenhouse maintains a consistent indoor climate, creating a microenvironment distinct from external weather conditions. During colder months, it minimizes heat loss, offering exceptional insulation. As temperatures rise, the system adeptly regulates the climate through integrated ventilation, shading, and other advanced mechanisms, safeguarding plants from potential heat stress and damage.
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 system primarily functions through strategically placed side windows and top windows. The side windows are located on the greenhouse sides and can be manually or electrically operated. The top windows, often situated at the greenhouse apex, offer various opening mechanisms such as rack and pinion. As the indoor temperature escalates, warmer air elevates and exits through the top window, concurrently inviting cooler external air through the side window, creating a cycle of natural ventilation that adeptly moderates indoor temperature and humidity.
2. Forced Ventilation System: To enhance airflow, exhaust fans are installed at one or both greenhouse ends. When natural ventilation isn't sufficient, particularly during sweltering summer days, turning on the exhaust fans expels hot indoor air, drawing in refreshing air from outside. This mechanism ensures a swift cooling effect and optimal ventilation.
Sunshade System
1. External Sunshade System: Installed on the exterior top of the greenhouse, this system uses a sunshade net that can be expanded and retracted either automatically or manually, influenced by light intensity and indoor temperature via electric control. The net effectively shields the greenhouse from excessive sunlight, diminishes light intensity, and curtails heat entry, thus preventing overheating during scorching summer days and safeguarding plants from intense light damage.
2. Internal Sunshade System: Positioned at the greenhouse's interior top, this system not only offers a shading and cooling effect but also aids in heat retention at night. By reflecting sunlight, it reduces heat absorption and manages light distribution within the greenhouse, ensuring balanced growing conditions for the plants.
Irrigation System
1. Drip Irrigation System: Widely utilized in glass greenhouses, this system delivers water via pipes to individual drip heads located near plant roots, ensuring a slow and precise water supply to the soil. Drip irrigation minimizes water evaporation and wastage, and allows for the dissolution of fertilizers in water, thereby enabling precise fertilization directly at the plant roots.
2. Micro-sprinkler Irrigation System: The sprinkler heads, positioned either at the greenhouse top or above plant height, disperse water as fine droplets. This method boosts air humidity, catering to plants with high humidity needs. Moreover, the micro-sprinkler system covers extensive areas, efficiently irrigating multiple plants simultaneously.
Heating System
1. Hot Water Heating System: Through boilers and similar equipment, water is heated and circulates through ground pipes or elevated spaces, releasing warmth to raise indoor temperatures. This system ensures even heating, easy temperature control, and the possibility of using leftover heat for other tasks, such as hot water irrigation.
2. Hot Air Heating System: Employing hot air fans to circulate heated air into the greenhouse, this system offers rapid heating. Adjustments can be made to the air supply outlets' position and angle based on specific needs, ensuring a more equitable distribution of heat throughout the space.
