Agriculture Channel NFT Growing Hydroponic System Plastic Pipes and Tubes

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Hydroponic Nutrient Delivery: Utilizes NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) to circulate nutrient solutions through plastic pipes and tubes, ensuring efficient root absorption for plant growth.
  • Multi-Span Greenhouse Integration: Designed to fit seamlessly into multi-span agricultural greenhouses, optimizing space and supporting large-scale crop cultivation.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Plastic Pipes

  • With corrosion-resistant plastic pipes, you can ensure long-lasting durability in agricultural environments, outperforming traditional metal systems*. The lightweight material reduces maintenance costs while maintaining structural integrity in harsh conditions.

  • 2. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) Channel Design

  • With the NFT channel design, you can achieve precise nutrient distribution for optimal plant growth, simplifying maintenance compared to complex drip systems*. The streamlined channels enable efficient water and nutrient flow for consistent crop yields.

  • 3. High-Yield Performance

  • With efficient water and nutrient delivery, you can achieve up to 30% faster crop yields* compared to soil-based methods, maximizing productivity in controlled hydroponic setups.

  • 4. Multi-Span Greenhouse Compatibility

  • With multi-span greenhouse structures featuring durable polycarbonate (PC) sheet covers, you can create weather-resistant growing environments, surpassing conventional glass or plastic film solutions*. The scalable design supports both commercial and large-scale agricultural operations.

  • 5. Food-Safe Materials

  • With food-grade certified plastic and PC sheet materials, you can ensure safety for crop production, meeting rigorous agricultural standards like FDA compliance*.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Aluminum Frame Corrosion Resistance: Triple-industry-standard protection for coastal or humid farms.
    • HDPE Pipes: 20% lighter than PVC, reducing greenhouse structural load.
    • Triple-Layer PC Sheets: 50% higher UV blockage than standard polycarbonate.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Ideal for small-scale farms (≤100m²) needing cost-effective NFT setups.
    • Advanced Model: Targets medium growers requiring UV resistance and higher crop density (e.g., commercial lettuce farms).
    • Pro Model: Designed for industrial operations in harsh climates, pairing corrosion-free alloy pipes with heavy-duty frames to withstand extreme loads.

With the Pro’s reinforced alloy pipes, you can achieve 30% faster crop turnover in saline environments. Pair this with triple-layer PC roofing to eliminate light degradation, ensuring optimal plant growth year-round.
