Benching & Containers


 

Whether your requirements are simple static benches, sideways rolling benches, or a fully automated container system, Bridge Greenhouses can meet your needs. All of the systems we install are designed to suit the individual requirements of our customers.

 

Static and Sideways Rolling Benches


Best suited for a labour intensive crop, which requires work in situ. The benches raise the crop off the floor, allowing easier access. The main disadvantage of static benching is the space used in the access pathways. Sideways rolling benches are used to overcome this problem where, as in most cases space saving is critical. This type of bench can be fitted with a number of different bases to suit the growers irrigation/ventilation requirements – e.g. ebb and flood liners, or a mesh base.

 

Container Benching


Using container benches opens up a many possibilities for the automation of a nursery.

The most basic is the manual system, by which the containers are moved around the growing area by hand using a series of rollers and rail-pipes. This movement helps to achieve the most efficient growing conditions, economies of labour, improved working conditions and increased quality and uniformity in plants.

By using containers it is easy to choose the level of automation to best suit the growers requirements and budget. It is also possible to add automation at a later date. Transport cars, motorised transport lines, work stations, pushers, pullers, stackers, de-stackers, washing machines, robotic handling machines………….where you stop is up to you!!
