Hydroponic farmers cultivating plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water to deliver essential nutrients directly to the roots, often face uneven plant growth when their hydroponic towers are not perfectly vertical. Using a faceted surface design in these towers solves this problem as it ensures an even downflow of water to all growth pods which promotes consistent plant growth.
This distinctive vertical hydroponic tower features a faceted surface design that ensures even plant growth in vertical hydroponic systems. Its staggered, outward-facing layers of growth pods are positioned for maximum sun exposure, also providing optimal space for each plant. The system, furthermore, supports both inline water feeding and standalone pump and base for flexible irrigation options.
The tower and standalone base are made using rotomoulding, an ideal process for creating a closed structure with sealed single units that require watertight shapes essential for this specific design.
Our customer is an agricultural business and distributor of agricultural products who understands the market and knows what works and sells.
End users range from private households having their own small-scale hydroponic installations, to full scale, commercial greenhouse hydroponic farming stacked with inline hydroponic systems.
Our journey to design and develop this hydroponic system involved a comprehensive understanding of all elements related to hydroponic vertical plant growing. During this process, we explored various business models which also led to exploring interesting alternative markets not addressed before. Having our own hydroponic tower at home enhances the satisfaction of growing edible plants, allowing us to enjoy fresh, crisp salad lettuce straight from our own vertical garden!
