Formflex® FlexEau Cultivation gutter

When cultivation gutters start to leak, complete replacement isn’t always the solution. At Bryte, the condition of the existing gutters determined what could be kept and where replacement was necessary.

How do you combine a cultivation system that hangs at height for much of the year with work on cultivation at ground level? For strawberry picking company Neessen in Panningen, this was the reason to opt for a hoistable gutter system. In a newly built greenhouse of about 2.5 hectares Metazet realized a solution for this that makes the work lighter, more efficient and above all safer.

Over a two-year period, Metazet produced 385 km of LG cultivation gutters for five greenhouses for Hoogweg Paprikakwekerijen.

Smart alternative for hanging gutter system installed on 8 hectares of lightweight greenhouses at Van Der Waal, Zevenhuizen, the Netherlands, with very positive initial experiences.

A great start to the Chinese New Year The Year of the Snake began in Juxian, China, with the installation of 37,000 meters of FormFlex® MG250 cultivation gutters for tomato cultivation. At the special request of our customer, Haoyu Group, this impressive project was rolled out precisely during the traditional nationwide closure of factories and businesses. A huge thank you to our fantastic on-site team, who worked tirelessly during the holidays to successfully complete this project on time.

A clever alternative has been installed at cucumber growers Van Der Waal and Fitterstee: special supports that support a gutter system without adding weight to the greenhouse structure. This makes an efficient cultivation system possible, even in lighter greenhouses.

The new Second Skin application of Metazet was used at De Bruijn Tomaten at the end of last year. This plastic top layer ensures that the gutters look smooth and evenly white again, which radiates hygiene. Large orders have already been placed for tomato cultivation: 28 kilometers of gutters were fitted with Second Skin. With this, growers experience the innovation almost as if they were getting new Gutters, with clear advantages in terms of hygiene and ease of maintenance.
