Advanced Hort offers the solutions
Side Shift and Fixed Benching
Advanced Hort offers three different bench types, Fixed benches, Side-Shifting benches, and Mobile benches. In the last 30 years, the basic principles of mobile benches have evolved to a well-tested and proven concept.
The mobile benches are a perfect stepping stone in upgrading a nursery for multiple reasons.
Side shifting and Mobile benches allow a far greater percentage of your greenhouse to be used for production, rather than requiring valuable areas to be used for walkways.
Benching systems can also be used with Ebb & Flood Bench Tops as well as regular mesh top. The Ebb & Flood Benches provides fully automated irrigation for your crops, further improving the efficiency of your growing area.
Features:
- The basic components of the mobile benches consist of:
- Mobile benches (Ebb & Flood and regular mesh top bottoms, welded, self-assembly)
- Watering equipment (water supply and discharge, static watering booms).
- Multi-Move Lateral Transport (MMLT) sections (with pneumatic lift).
- Support and rail pipe components.
The automation components are:
- Bench transport robots.
- Bench automation (push, pull and lifting equipment).
- Plant handling (robots, grading equipment).
- Overhead transport (stacker, crane).
- Cleaning/disinfecting equipment.
- Control and visualisation software (PLC or PC based)

Features:
- Benches are tailored to your needs
- Highly resistant, chemical-proof and UV-resistant plastic ensuring a long lifetime
- Available in a range of sizes

Less fertilisation and higher yields with Ambiorix iron polyphosphate
Tomato grower Stoffels from Rijkevorsel (Belgium) started using Ambiorix iron polyphosphate as an alternative to iron chelate a year and a half ago. The inorganic fertiliser Ambiorix does not break down in combination with oxidising disinfectants, which means that less iron needs to be added. According to the grower, the product also contributes to the absorption of other elements such as calcium. Partly because of this, they did not suffer from blossom end rot last year.
