Equipment and systems to provide your product, crops, staff, and customers with a comfortable environment.
Expertly designed and installed, our high-quality ventilation systems allow greater control over air temperature and quality, ensuring optimal conditions.
For more than 55 years, Elta have provided flexibility in ventilation applications within glasshouses, polytunnels and garden centres. Ensuring that the system designs increase air movement and offer significant reductions in fungal diseases such as Botrytis; particularly in winter months when vents are closed and natural airflow is reduced.
Ventilation systems for horticulture are more than fans alone; a full system includes controls, automated inlets and outlets, re-circulation fans and evaporative cooling.
Our extensive range of products allows us to provide the industry with the very best. Our control systems provide a comprehensive array of features including the supply, operation and regulation of fans, curtains, heaters, cooling systems, management programs, and data monitoring and collection.
Horticulture & Hydroponics Applications
Glasshouses
Ventilation in greenhouses maximises plant growth and reduces fungal diseases by creating an even temperature and a desirable environment. Healthier plants can be grown and problems with disease associated with high humidity or stale air lessened.
Polytunnels
Air movement is essential to ensure a successful crop. Elta will assess the crop needs, size and location of the polytunnel structure to provide the best possible solution.
Garden Centres
Re-circulating the air ensures an even temperature throughout and a better growing environment. This reduces the run time of heaters, impacting heating bills. Cold spots will be eliminated providing more growing areas and increased plant growth.
Grow Rooms
Air movement is essential in maintaining optimal growth conditions by modifying temperature, humidity and CO2Â levels at the leaf surface where photosynthesis and transpiration are occurring. High humidity levels can become a major problem where plants with large leaf areas are continually transpiring and releasing water vapour into the air.
Vegetable and Fruit Ripening
Our high efficiency plate fans are used for fruit ripening systems where control of the ripening process is essential to maximise the storage time and availability of the product. To prevent disease, decay and injury to the fruit, it is necessary to ventilate and maintain the correct storage conditions.
Tea and Coffee Drying and Storage
Our fans are used to dry tea and coffee in mechanical flat-bed continuous belt flow driers and fixed bed driers. Units supplied for these applications are designed for operation in high humidity at low speeds.
