Optimized Range for Every Ventilation Need

We offer a variety of manual drive units tailored to different greenhouse heights and film lengths:

• Sidewall Manual Roll-up Units: Featuring a compact design and ergonomic handle, these are perfect for lower side vents, providing quick opening and closing with minimal effort.

• Roof & High-Wall Reelers (Gear-Reduced): For larger spans or heavier films, our high-ratio gear units (e.g., 4:1 or 7:1) significantly reduce the physical strength required to lift long sections of plastic.

• Telescopic & Guide Rail Options: Specialized manual reelers designed to slide smoothly along guide pipes, ensuring the film rolls up straight and stays tensioned.

Key Features of the Fenglong Manual Series

• High Gear Precision: Internal gears are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel for smooth rotation and to prevent "slipping" under load.

• Automatic Locking System: Our reelers feature a reliable braking mechanism that holds the film at any height—simply release the handle, and the film stays in place.

• Corrosion-Resistant Housing: The outer shell is constructed from heavy-duty cast aluminum or galvanized steel with anti-rust coatings, ensuring performance even in humid or rainy conditions.

• Ease of Installation: Designed for universal fitment on standard greenhouse film rollers (usually 20mm or 25mm pipes).

Why Choose Manual vs. Electric?

While Electric Film Reeler offer automation, manual film reelers remain a staple in the industry due to:

1. Zero Operational Cost: No electricity required, making them perfect for remote locations.

2. Instant Feedback: The grower can feel the tension of the film, preventing accidental damage.

3. Low Maintenance: Fewer moving parts and no electrical components mean a service life of 10+ years with minimal upkeep.
