Smart Vertical Farming in Portugal with Automated 6P15 Hydroponic Tower

A forward-thinking buyer from Portugal with hydroponic experience sought to establish a compact, efficient hydroponic lettuce farm on his land. Constrained by limited cultivation space and high labor costs, his goal was to maximize yield within confined areas while minimizing manual labor to reduce farm expenses. Consequently, he required a highly integrated, automated hydroponic system suitable for commercialization.

After evaluating multiple solutions, he ultimately selected our 6P15 Vertical Hydroponic Tower. Standing approximately 3 meters tall with 90 planting holes, the 6P15 enables substantial lettuce production within a minimal footprint, making it ideal for farms with constrained growing areas like his. The hydroponic tower's integrated structure and robust design incorporate an automated irrigation system with a recirculating pump and preset timer. This system automatically delivers and recirculates water and nutrients, eliminating repetitive manual tasks. This allows the customer to manage cultivation effortlessly, even without extensive large-scale farming experience. The stable growing environment and savings in daily time and costs are crucial for commercial farm projects.

The large 100-liter reservoir at the base of the hydroponic tower ensures a more stable root environment. It effectively minimizes fluctuations in pH and nutrient solution concentration, reducing the need for manual water replenishment and monitoring. This promotes faster, healthier plant growth. This design enhances the tower's reliability for commercial lettuce cultivation.

The customer is now consistently harvesting fresh, plump lettuce from the 6P15 hydroponic tower. This not only validates the system's practicality but also lays the foundation for future farm expansion. The customer plans to increase the number of hydroponic towers in subsequent projects, gradually building a more comprehensive and competitive commercial hydroponic farm.
