Water delivery systems

Sprinkler systems

Sprinkler systems are used for most ground-based crops. Nowadays they generally include rotating sprinklers that guarantee optimal water distribution. The sprinklers can be mounted directly into the PVC pipes. If your greenhouse contains lighting, then the sprinklers can be attached to the PVC pipes with a PE hose. This way the sprinkler pipeline can be installed below the lighting profile.

Drip systems

Drip irrigation is used for substrate cultivation to provide plants with the right quantity of water. Drip irrigation is also used for ground-based crops or cultivation in pots. Different types of drippers are available.

Ebb and Flood systems

An ebb and flood system is a system that immerses plants at set times. Water is pumped into a reservoir on which the plants are located. Due to the fact that the water is administered from the bottom, the roots grow downwards and at the same time all plants are able to absorb sufficient water.

Ebb and flood systems on cultivation floors, on tables or in containers are characterised by their large capacity. Systems with an inflow and drainage capacity of more than 200 m3 per hour are definitely not an exception! The speed of water inflow as well as drainage on the floors is a determining factor. We equip our ebb and flood systems with low-speed pumps. This results in significant energy savings in comparison with conventional pumps. Furthermore, the pressure within the system is therefore low, which reduces wear and tear on the system.

Roof sprinklers

Roof sprinklers are used to cool the greenhouse. On the one hand this happens because the water evaporates from the glass, and on the other hand because cool moist air is brought into the greenhouse. This means that there must always be water on the roof. Should the water dry up, the cooling effect stops, but, in addition, any dirt in the water can dry into the roof. Stolze would be pleased to advise you concerning the best possible solution for your situation.

Watering booms

You can use watering booms to spray low-growing crops, such as potted plants, cut flowers and leaf vegetables, without any problems. The watering boom enables you to spray/water a large surface area easily and uniformly. Watering booms can be supplied in manually operated to completely automated versions.
