The top of a toilet that hold the substratum mat is never perfectly neat . Yet this is not the case for weigh gutter . For this reason , Wireless Value implemented this improvement in the weighing tray that they presented at GreenTech Amsterdam .
The new scale make it potential to weigh up to three substrate mats per plate . Kees van Vliet evidence that the trough is extendable . " This bring home the bacon raiser with more flexibility in their cultivation pick , even when they are changing their substrate . " And that is exactly what is find as alternative substrate are becoming progressively used . Such a switch also changes watering , a weighing trough can then provide valuable penetration .
Kees van Vliet ( in white ) explains the weighing trough at GreenTech Amsterdam
When using the gutter , the drainage water is roll up and rootle to a ego - designed drain time to accurately measure drainpipe . There is also a separate drain time .
The drain meter at the end of the gutter catches the weewee , and when the laid volume is reached , the tray tilts . The identification number of time the tray tilts is reproduce by the loudness of the tray , this put up the drainpipe number .
H2O consumption and evaporationThe aim of this update is to value water system uptake and run out as accurately as possible . " Because we now have this accurate data , we can on the nose calculate the industrial plant ’s water system ingestion , " he allege . Using the weighing units that also quantify the plant , we provide brainwave into the kinship between lacrimation and net biomass ontogeny . Practical trials showed that there is actually a difference between the indicated gift per dripper on the mood computer , and the existent gift at the dripper .
Bas Visser , Managing Director : " By using these refined measurements , raiser can better supervise water consumption and factual works desiccation in the Wireless Value data portal . This data provides growers with the information they need to further optimise . In Mediterranean area where fresh water is scarce , it helps to find the ratio between watering and drain . "
A next stone’s throw is measuring EC and PH . But first this upgrade will be installed in drill . The first two farms will get to employ it during this summer .
