Factory 96-960

In theory, our Factories start from 96m², but in practice, it turns out that this is not viable in comparison to your operational costs. Therefore we strongly recommend that you always start from around 960m². This often involves a manual or semi-automatic processing line.

Factory 4.800

This AVF+ Factory consists of five cells of 960m² each. From this footprint on, it is recommended to implement a fully automated processing line. This means that labor is reduced to minimal FTE. Therefore it becomes more expensive on the investment, but more cost-efficient over a longer period of time 

Factory 9.600

Our automated process equipment can handle up to 10 running AVF+ Compacts without any capacity issues. If you want to expand the AVF+ Factory further, you will need to settle for additional automated process equipment.

AVF+ Factory

When we add AVF+ process equipment to your AVF+ Compact, we refer to it as an AVF+ Factory. Depending on the size and local factors, we select the best fitting manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated process equipment. Our AVF+ Factory is thus controlled by adaptive automation. Hence, depending on your business case, we look at the best option to get the most out of your AVF+ Factory.

Medium to large size vertical farm with process equipment.

Scale to your needs

Adding more growing surfaces is easier than ever, do you have a need for more cells afterward? We can add cells up to a total of 10,000 meters of cultivation area without any problem.

Building needs

The first step towards an AVF+ Factory is a suitable building. For example, two cells (960m²) with processing equipment and a water irrigation area require a minimum of 1,000 to 1,200 square meters of footprint.

Sensible automation

Operating an AVF+ Factory requires labor, depending on your business case we advise manual, semi-automated, and fully automated processing equipment. In order to achieve the highest possible ROI.

Features Factory 1

Feature #1

From seeding to packaging

An important part of this process are of course the Germinate and Compact cell(s). Additionally, the Junior cell can be added for your own research purposes.

Our Factory comes standard with a seeding line, transplanting area, harvester, cleaning area, washers, and packaging line. All these different lines are crucial for a smooth and clean growth process and take all the hard work out of your hands.

Automated conveyor belts and junctions are used for internal transport of benches within the Factory area. These systems are, like all other systems, controlled by FarmOS. You just have to fill the benches with trays and the system takes care of the rest!
Features Factory 2

Feature #2

Growing your -for example- lettuce under one roof

After seeding, the trays are placed in the germination cell which comes in different sizes, from: Germination chamber, walk-in germination chamber and all the way up to AVF+ Compact. where they will remain for the coming days. When the seeds have sprouted, the trays are placed in benches and ready for the next phase.

After propagation phase 1, the bench goes via the conveyor bypass to the transplanting area to a less dense tray, this process repeats itself once more before entering the last phase.

The last phase is where the lettuce is at its biggest, and after a certain number of days the crops are taken to the harvesting line. After this process, the crops are taken to the cooling chamber and the dirty trays and benches are taken to the cleaning station to be prepared for the next growing cycle.

Features Factory 3

Feature #3

Growing crops

For high consistency growing, quality seeds are needed in your vertical farming solution. The amount of days needed for harvesting is fixed within the growing recipe, which means that all known factors are taken into consideration and the crop will provide fine produce.

Growing multiple crops is possible in the AVF+ Factory. It is good to know that growing several crops in the factory also means that the logistics have to be adjusted for each crop, which means that more work has to be carried out. We would like to tell you more about it.

Despite the swift and adequate treatment of the crops outside the cell, inside the cell, they grow in peace. During the growing phase, we leave the crops as much as possible undisturbed, therefore no one is allowed to enter the AVF+ cells.
