FGM Moving Gutter Systems

FGM’s partnership with AdeptAg gives North American growers access to one of the most efficient leafy green and herb production platforms available, supported locally by a team that understands greenhouse operations, automation, irrigation, and long-term service.

For leafy green growers, moving gutter systems have become one of the most efficient production methods available. Unlike stationary systems, moving gutter systems allow gutters to dynamically space apart as plants grow, maintaining optimal plant density throughout the entire crop’s cycle. The result is more plants per square foot and better use of available space.

The moving gutter system is fully customizable to your crop and operation. There are varying levels of automation to fit operations spanning from a single house to acres of operation. Growers who invest in moving gutter systems see extensive labor savings compared to stationary systems.

For operations looking to supply consistent volumes of high-quality leafy greens, the moving gutter system is the technology for you.

Details

  • NFT Drip Irrigation with Recirculation

    Each individual gutter is supplied with its own irrigation tubing and drip emitter to provide a steady flow of nutrient film to the root zone inside the gutter. This fertigation water is collected, treated, and reused.

    Fully Customizable

    The system is fully customizable to fit your unique layout and crop needs. Varying levels of automation can be added spanning from a single MGS lane to a completely automated seed to pack system.

    Germination and Propagation Systems

    Choose galvanized steel for durability or stainless steel for corrosive environments and food safety requirements.

    Maximized Cultivation Area

    Dynamic gutter spacing increases the space between gutters as the plant grows and travels through the system, leading to less wasted growing area.

    Robust Design

    Constructed from galvanized steel with robust bearings. Robust undercarriage designed for hanging heating pipes directly from the frame.

    Gutter Manufacturing

    North American made gutters supplied to meet your crop’s needs. Open channel or closed gutters with square or round holes available.

  • Designing a Moving Gutter System

    Many factors can impact the design and cost of a moving gutter system:

    • What crops are to be grown?
    • What is the desired weight and size of the crop?
    • What are the crop’s growth durations?
    • What is the layout of the facility?
    • Will open or closed gutters be used?
    • Will propagation occur in gutters or tables?
    • Will the system be organic?
    • What is the desired growing media?
    • How much automation will the system use?
    • Will there be one or two gutters per house?
    • How much irrigation water will be consumed per day?
