Tomtech recently installed a fresh control system of rules and upgraded live airing motor at the University of Reading .
The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading has three teaching and inquiry glasshouse , each with its own unique design .
research worker at the University of Reading are using the plants for science and preservation while students are using the nursery to carry out research as part of their path work .
Due to the diverse horticultural requirements of the nursery , the university needed a ascendance arrangement and equipment that could well monitor precise factor , such as lighting , humidity and temperature .
“ We ’re always excited to work with university – assist both researcher and students develop their understanding . The young mastery system will automatically optimize and keep the perfect growing condition within the glasshouse , improving plant quality ” says Krzysztof Hernik , Managing Director at Tomtech .
Prior to Tomtech ’s installation , the university ’s control and ventilation system – which monitor and curb the conditions within the nursery , including the vents , screens and other glasshouse infrastructure – were becoming undependable .
This was having an contrary effect on the plants ’ growth due to their specific environmental requirement .
Tomtech was go about by the University of Reading to carry out repairs and supplant 10 vent motors , fitting raw motor interfaces , and in one greenhouse , installing their T100 control scheme .
The new Huima gear motors are specifically designed for use in glasshouses to improve the efficiency of ventilation and air calibre .
They are more dependable than the sometime motors and contain two-fold limitation electrical switch to forestall overrunning . This , in combination with their T100 control scheme , will ensure that the environment within the greenhouse is optimised for plant development .
“ We ’re very excited about the new command system and ventilating system upgrade . They will allow us to well ascertain key growing conditions within the greenhouses - helping us carry on to render unrivalled research capabilities for our researchers and students ” tote up the University of Reading .
For over 35 years , Tomtech have been one of the UK ’s chair providers of commercial-grade glasshouse monitoring and control systems . Their systems are used to optimise and regularise environmental conditions , such as light , warmth , public discussion , fertigation and nutrient dosing .
Their adaptative systems have been used on project throughout the UK , Europe and further abroad to help grow big , better and faster crops .
“ We ’re thrilled that our complete restraint systems are being used in an environment which will support pupil ’ horticultural pedagogy . Being able-bodied to originate a vast grasp of species which are n’t native to the UK is a fantastic use for greenhouses – and throw students and research worker a broad variety of plant to crop with ” concludes Krzysztof Hernik .
