Grow & Roll
A ready-to-grow concept with integrated HVAC, irrigation and LED installations
Modular and turnkey vertical farming system
The Grow & Roll is a modular and turnkey vertical farming system fully equiped with HVAC, irrigation and LED installations. The mobile cart system is developed by Bosman Van Zaal in 2014 and has since then been succesfully installed at a range of customers worldwide.
It can be installed in various set-ups, including climate chambers and shipping containers. It is extremely suitable for research purposes or for the production of food crops such as lettuce and herbs and starting materials of seeds and cuttings.
Plug and play system
The system consists of a cart and docking station. It seamlessly integrates irrigation, air distribution, and lighting, offering various lighting options, such as fully controllable LED. Airflow options include via slots on every level of the docking station, via a double-sided wall in the climate chamber, or via overhead air ducts.
Control and flexibility
The carts can be easily clicked in and out of the docking station, starting or stopping airflow, irrigation and lighting. This makes it easy to clean the system or relocate the carts. Combined with a climate computer, the system is fully controllable. The Grow & Roll has a closed, circular character. Saving water and energy.
Easy integration
The Grow & Roll can be seamlessly integrated into a shipping container (20 or 40 ft) or constructed in a (sandwich panel) climate chamber. This can also be provided by Bosman Van Zaal. The system allows for flexible placement, whether angled for cart accessibility, straight when there is a wider aisle, or with up to 6 adjustable levels, depending on factors like crop height, distance from crop to LED, and irrigation type.
