MODERN GREENHOUSE AGRICULTURE AND THE NEED FOR PRECISION CONTROL
Greenhouse farming has evolved rapidly in recent years, driven by the demand for higher crop yields, resource efficiency, and sustainable practices. Today’s modern greenhouses are equipped with advanced irrigation and climate control systems, enabling farmers to optimize plant growth year-round, regardless of external weather conditions.
A critical part of these systems is water management. Accurate water distribution is essential for plant health, disease prevention, and optimal resource use. Valves, particularly those integrated with automation, play a key role in ensuring precise and efficient water control.
ELECTRIC ACTUATED VALVES: RELIABILITY IN GREENHOUSE OPERATIONS
In greenhouse irrigation systems, two valve types are most in demand among growers:
- Electric Actuated Butterfly Valves – Ideal for controlling large water flows in main irrigation lines. Their quick operation and low maintenance requirements make them perfect for automated systems.
- Electric Actuated Ball Valves – Provide excellent shut-off capabilities and precise flow control, ensuring the right amount of water reaches each crop zone.
Greenhouse environments require valves that can operate reliably over many years, even under constant cycling and exposure to moisture. Convalve electric actuated valves are engineered to deliver:
- Long Service Life – Proven durability in continuous operation.
- Corrosion Resistance – High-quality materials protect against humidity and water exposure.
- Precise Automation – Seamless integration with modern greenhouse control systems.
- Energy Efficiency – Low power consumption actuators for sustainable farming operations.
