At Van der Hoeven, we seamlessly integrate our advanced semi-closed greenhouse technology
with a Moving Gutter System (MGS) to create a comprehensive growing solution that
maximizes efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. This combination ensures every aspect of
the growing process, from climate control to plant movement, is optimized for peak performance.
Optimized space utilization and climate control
The integration of Van der Hoeven’s semi-closed greenhouse with the MGS allows for precise
climatecontrol and efficient space utilization. Plants are spaced dynamically as they grow, maximizing
space and yield per square meter while benefiting from the controlled environment, regardless of
external conditions.
Efficient resource management
The MGS and semi-closed greenhouse work together to reduce water, energy, and growing
medium usage. Automated irrigation and fertigation systems deliver nutrients directly to the roots,
while the greenhouse recycles heat and minimizes water loss through advanced ventilation, resulting
in reduced costs and a more sustainable operation.
Automated growth process
The combined system automates plant movement, spacing, and environmental controls, significantly
reducing labor requirements. The MGS moves plants through different growth stages automatically,
while the greenhouse’s active climate management ensures optimal growing conditions at each stage.
Healthier crops, higher yields
By regulating temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and water flow, the integrated system promotes
healthier crops, higher germination rates, and increased yields. The precise management of the
growing environment and the efficient movement of plants minimize disease risks and optimize
growth, leading to more cycles and higher productivity throughout the year.
Scalability and flexibility
The modular design of the greenhouse combined with the flexible planting density offered by the
MGS allows growers to easily expand and adjust their operations based on demand. This adaptability
ensures that as your business grows, your system can grow with it, providing long-term value and
scalability.
