July 2, 2025

Smart Greenhouse Automation by FengLong

In modern greenhouse operations, maintaining optimal airflow and temperature is essential for crop health and energy efficiency. FengLong introduces its industry-leading Electric Film Reelers, designed to automate side and roof ventilation with precision and reliability. These motorized systems provide growers with a hands-free solution for rolling up plastic film walls, significantly improving airflow, reducing labor costs, and enhancing environmental control.

Paired with other smart climate tools such as three phase 380V circulation fans, the Easy Wind-powered reelers form the backbone of an intelligent greenhouse management system.

What Are Electric Film Reelers?

Electric Film Reelers are devices operated by a motor that are utilized to open or close polyethylene film walls in greenhouses. They are mounted on sidewalls or rooftops and provide the possibility of both manual and automatic ventilation control. By means of solutions like Easy Wind, these reelers are specifically designed for the reliability (long-term life), resistance (waterproof), and consistency of the torque used – they are thus definitely every-season best choices for agriculture.

FengLong’s film reelers come in many different torque ranges and various voltage setups and can be used with steel or aluminum greenhouses, plastic tunnels, and multi-span structures.
