Drip irrigation refers to a watering system that provides a slow supply of water at a gradual rate directly into the soil. Sometimes also called micro-irrigation, it consists of a network of gutters, tubular valves, and drippers. One of the most used and effective methods of commercial greenhouse cultivation with a drip system is the rollable PVC gutter.

PVC Profile for the hydroponic sector
Consumers are increasingly looking to buy locally. Greenhouse or hydroponic cultivation is becoming a way to offer consumers fresher, tastier, and locally grown food. Thus, a new market is emerging for PVC profiles to irrigate these crops and ensure proper heat distribution throughout the greenhouses. Due to their lightness, durability, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance requirements, PVC profiles are becoming the preferred material for transporting and treating the water necessary for greenhouse cultivation.
Our products
PVC Irrigation System for Hydroponic Cultivation, Drip Irrigation
NFT — Nutrient Film Technique
The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) is an irrigation method used in hydroponic cultivation that serves to distribute a nutrient solution to plants with a shallow flow circulating in a cultivation gutter. PVC gutters offer the best value while meeting all the needs of such a mechanism.
Vertical Shelf Cultivation, PVC Irrigation System for Hydroponic Cultivation, Drip Irrigation
Vertical cultivation systems consist of stackable shelves equipped with recirculating hydroponic cultivation and LED lighting. These structures are often used in warehouses and container farms. This type of cultivation can be installed using PVC gutters.
Post Gutter System
The post gutter system allows plants to be maintained at the desired height. Hydroponic grow bags are supported by a gutter with drainage holes along its entire length. The reinforced multi-chamber PVC gutter system is perfect for this type of installation.
Our advantages
Resistance and Durability
PVC is resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it a durable choice for hydroponic systems. Unlike some metals, PVC does not rust or corrode, extending its lifespan.
Lightweight and Easy Installation
Lightweight and easy to handle, PVC makes the installation of hydroponic systems simple and quick. It can be cut, assembled, and adjusted without complex tools.
Affordable Cost
PVC is economical compared to other materials like stainless steel or aluminum. This allows the creation of hydroponic systems at a lower cost.
Thermal Insulation
Thanks to the excellent thermal insulation provided by PVC, it will be easier to maintain a stable temperature in the hydroponic system.
