Second Skin: Efficient and hygienic upgrade for growers' cultivation system

Metazet is proud to present its latest innovation called “Second Skin. This new technology offers growers an advanced upgrade for their cultivation systems that increases productivity and ensures hygiene in the greenhouse.

Productivity and hygiene are essential within the horticultural industry. With every crop change, growers strive for a clean greenhouse environment in which algae, fungi and viruses have as little space as possible to settle. Cleaning protocols have been intensified in recent years, resulting in increased workloads and costs for nurseries.

Metazet understands the importance of a cultivation system that supports this hygienic way of working. For example, the annual covering and removal of a foil over Cultivation gutters is a labor-intensive process that also generates a lot of waste. This is why Metazet has developed an alternative: the Second Skin. This is a specially developed and patented plastic top layer that completely encloses and covers the Cultivation gutter. The hard, preformed top layer cannot fold; this guarantees good water drainage.

The Second Skin is designed with an extra smooth finish, eliminating algae and fertilizer adhesion. The material is impact resistant and boasts the highest UV resistance rating, making it last for years. Moreover, it can be treated with high pressure and common cleaning agents, making it easy to maintain hygiene.

The benefits of Second Skin are numerous:

• Upgrade existing Cultivation gutters by many years
• Resistant to common cleaning agents and high pressure
• Efficiently produced on site in the shortest possible time with our mobile profiling machine
• Customized with seamless connection for any cultivation system
• Smooth finish, making algae and fertilizer barely adherent
• UV and impact resistant material
• Food safe
