OUR TECHNIQUES FOR FERTIGATION SYSTEMS
The distribution of nutrients through irrigation water is a complex and demanding technique that requires precision and reliability.
Our computer-controlled dosing units, the result of decades of experience, are extremely versatile and suitable for various production conditions. Whether it is traditional soil cultivation, drip irrigation, pot cultivation with ebb and flow systems on submersion tables, young plant propagation in nurseries, or advanced aeroponic, floating, or NFT systems, our units provide optimal solutions.
For each specific application, a corresponding unit is designed and tailored to the needs of your cultivation.
META-PLAST manufactures dosing units for fertilizer and acid solutions, which can be integrated into mixing tanks or irrigation pipes. Each customer can choose the most suitable unit according to the type of cultivation, water flow, available energy, and, importantly, the dosing accuracy required.
Customers can choose between one or multiple recipes, depending on the type and method of cultivation.
A key feature of our computerized feeding units is their ability to integrate with climate control. Our “all-in-one” philosophy allows for centralized and simplified installation as well as monitoring of the entire production system.
Our units also allow remote control via the internet from any computer, as well as data logging and the creation of irrigation graphs for precise monitoring and analysis.
FertiMix – High technology for optimal yields.
FertiMix is a fertigation mixer ideal for companies that want to professionally manage nutrients, whether in soil-based or soilless cultivation. Equipped with an open mixing tank and an advanced dosing system, FertiMix ensures perfect blending of fertilizers, acids, and irrigation water. This allows precise and consistent dosing, even when irrigation flows vary.
FertiMix allows the use of two different types of dosing per channel, utilizing high-quality electronic valves, high-resolution flow meters, and manual valves, providing an exceptionally high level of dosing control.
Users also have full remote control of the system via smartphone, tablet, or computer. Depending on irrigation flow requirements, FertiMix is available in different sizes: L, M, and XL.
Nutrient solution tanks
Material: Polypropylene
Polypropylene characteristics:
- Chemical resistance: Polypropylene is resistant to diluted bases and acids, making it an ideal choice for tanks containing nutrient solutions, cleaning agents, and other chemical liquids.
- Flexibility and strength: Polypropylene exhibits elasticity within a certain range of deformation, but it also undergoes plastic deformation at an early stage, making it a “rigid” material. Strength, in engineering terms, refers to the material’s ability to deform (plastically, not elastically) without breaking.
- Fatigue resistance: Polypropylene retains its shape after repeated twisting, bending, and stretching, making it suitable for manufacturing tanks of various shapes.
Due to its properties, polypropylene is widely used in the food, chemical, and medical industries.
