Tips for Greenhouse Film Installation
Read moreProper installation of greenhouse plastic film is essential for creating an effective and durable greenhouse environment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to assist you: 1 Select Quality Greenhouse Film: Choose UV-stabilized polyethylene plastic with a thickness of at least 6 mils. This ensures durability and adequate light transmission for plant growth. 2 Prepare the Structure: 3 Unroll and Position the Film: 4 Secure the Film: 2) Trim Excess Film: After securing, trim any excess plastic around the edges to prevent wind damage and maintain a neat appearance. Film attaching to wiggle wire and polylock channel. 4 Install End Walls and Doors: 5 Regular Maintenance:

What is Wiggle Wires for Greenhouse Construction and Film Fastening
Read moreWiggle wire is a type of fastening system commonly used to secure poly film (such as greenhouse plastic) to frames or structures. It is also named as Polylock spring, zigzag wire, greenhouse spring wire etc. It consists of a wire that is “wiggled” into a channel, often made of aluminum or steel, to hold the plastic film in place. The process works by sliding the wire into the channel, which then compresses the poly film against the frame, creating a tight seal. This system is highly valued for its durability, ease of use, and ability to withstand wind and weather. It allows for easy replacement of the poly film without needing to remove […]

Greenhouse Hand Crank Application
Read moreIn greenhouse applications, a hand-crank reeler is typically used to roll up or deploy the greenhouse film (the plastic sheeting used for covering the structure). This is especially useful when you need to open or close a greenhouse for temperature and humidity control or when you want to replace or clean the film periodically. Here’s how the hand-crank reeler might be used: Tools used for Greenhouse Side Curtain Ventilation-Greenhouse Sidewall Ventilation Crank High Sidewall Manual Film Reeler Greenhouse roof ventilation manual crank

Read moreMaintaining a gear motor in a greenhouse environment requires a structured approach to address the unique challenges of humidity, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to chemicals. Here’s a comprehensive maintenance plan: 3GG Motor Gearbox used for drive as greenhouse vent and screening system 1. Regular Inspections – Visual Checks: Monthly inspections for wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage. Look for cracks in housing or worn gears. – Seals and Enclosures: Ensure seals are intact to prevent moisture ingress. 2. Lubrication – Ensure that bearings, rack and pinion systems, and gearboxes are properly lubricated. Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines to select the appropriate lubricant and establish a maintenance schedule. 3. Electrical Components – Corrosion Prevention: […]
