Profitability
Thanks to SG Biotech, you can improve your yield, quality, and productivity with aeroponic culture. Depending on the model, this system will allow you to produce 32 mature plants, 154 small plants or 520 cuttings.
The serial installation of the system is surrounded by lights (as shown in the diagram). These are either high-pressure sodium vapour lamps or LED lighting. This configuration will allow you to maximize space and reduce operating costs.
For optimal growth, install the lights around the devices, as shown in this diagram. It is possible to add lower intensity lights in the centre aisle, as needed.
Features
The most efficient growing method on the market
Easy assembly of four panels. The rotary system allows lighting on all surfaces using less light. It also eliminates excessive heat that can accumulate on plants and cause damage.
Each device is installed on a 3.5 ft2 support. A water basin must be installed under the support with two lights.
Double or triple your yield capacity by adding one or two levels. This configuration requires four to six lights. The rotating tower is equipped with an IP54 pulley motor and a food processing belt.
automatized System
To optimize the growth of your plants, here are our recommendations:
Under the support of each device is a basin of water* to which nutrients (I, II, III, pH+, or pH-) are added. Please note that controlling the pH is important in order to optimize the yield.
The water from the basin enters the water chiller and returns to the basin to maintain the water temperature between 18 °C and 22 °C (64 °F and 72 °F), to prevent the formation of algae and contaminants.
The timer activates or stops the pump every 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the growth stage of the plant. Then, the collected water is sprayed on the roots. Finally, the water drains into the bottom drain of the concave base and returns to the water basin.
*It is possible to install a serie of devices on the same water basin.

Multiple Systems in the Same Network
As they are designed to be installed in series, these systems are perfect for greenhouses and warehouses. Maximize your time and workforce by supporting multiple towers with the same water basin.
Specifications according to the quantity of devices
| Number of devices | Water basin capacity | Cooler power | Pump power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 L | 1/10 HP | ¼ HP |
| 2 | 100 L | 1/10 HP | ¼ HP |
| 4 | 300 L | ¼ HP | ½ HP |
| 8 | 500 L | ½ HP | ½ HP |
Aeroponic Culture
Unlike hydroponic culture where plants are constantly soaked in water, aeroponics allows oxygenation of the roots. It also allows to control all growth parameters, such as the concentration of nutrients, their quantity, the PH and the temperature.
Our systems offer you an aeroponic watering method. It means, spraying by microdrops using nozzles installed on a column in the centre of the device.
The roots, being exposed inside the device, rapidly oxygenate. This allows better absorption of nutrients, accelerates rooting and plant growth.
rotary cultivation system
For all models, you can add additional towers on top of the device to increase your crop yield and maximize your space.
