Custom Agriculture Products
Vacuum forming technology can meet the diverse needs of agricultural production. For different equipment and containers, various shapes and sizes can be customized quickly and at low cost according to specific usage scenarios. For example, seedling trays can be customized according to the size and quantity of different seeds to meet the requirements of different plant root growth. For livestock equipment, different feeding troughs can be customized according to the size and breeding methods of different animals, which can also improve the comfort and production efficiency of animals. In addition, vacuum forming can also be based on the requirements of different environments. For environments with sufficient sunlight, we can provide the choice of ultraviolet-resistant materials to increase the service life of the product. For products that are prone to collision and falling, we can also provide materials with high impact resistance to ensure that the product is not easily damaged when subjected to external forces. In addition to meeting the above requirements, DitaiPlastic also provides comprehensive services such as assembly, bonding, CNC, painting, and packaging, providing one-stop customized solutions. Decades of rich experience are also the basis for our confidence in product quality.
The planting tray that is being blistered in the video on the right is made of food-grade ABS. During the cultivation process, the roots of the seedlings are in direct contact with the tray, and the food grade can ensure a safe and healthy environment for the seedlings to grow. At the same time, food-grade ABS also has high strength, toughness, dimensional stability and corrosion resistance. It can bear weight while ensuring the accurate position of the seedling hole, and is not easily corroded by the nutrient solution, which increases the service life of the product.
Product Applications and Examples
This is a 3m*1m agricultural planting tray installed in a vertical planting system with a fully mechanized canopy planting system. The vertical planting system first, is not picky about the soil environment or climate of the planting area, using led lights can solve the problem of light needed for plant growth. Secondly, the vertical planting system can use the planting area very effectively by stacking layers, which can make a contribution to the regeneration of the soil or the environment of the earth.
This is a high-end home hydroponic growing system, equipped with a specific wavelength light source to assist plant growth, and also equipped with an electronic display, which can use this module to control the intensity and duration of the light, and moreover, a water recycling system that can repeatedly use water. To grow hydroponic crops at home, you only need to simply prepare water and nutrient solution, and the vertical product can greatly save space for growing also obtaining higher yields.
This is a large plastic for farmer automatic planting systems. And the dimensions can reach 4m*2m. With the advancement of technology, the advantages of machine planting are gradually coming out. Through precise calculations, the seeds are sown and fertilized at regular intervals and even the light can be ensured, and then harvested by mechanical arms after maturity. Planting in the shed can also prevent pests, to ensure that the number of harvested can also be more secure for consumption.
Benefits of Vacuum Forming in Agriculture
1. Low cost and fast production speed:
Compared with injection molding, vacuum forming has lower mold cost and shorter cycle, which is very suitable for customized production or small batch production. At the same time, products can also be developed and produced quickly to meet seasonal agricultural needs.
2. Customizable materials with strong durability and high strength:
For outdoor working environments, products need to withstand environmental changes such as wind, sun, rain, etc., or during production, equipment may be accidentally hit, or even indoor greenhouse planting, which relies on light frequency and requires products to resist ultraviolet radiation, as well as fluctuations in humidity and temperature. DitaiPlastic vacuum forming has its own sheet extrusion machine, and the raw material particles used are all from Sinopec and Taiwan CHIMEI. It can quickly customize the characteristics of the materials according to the required environment and also ensure quality from the source.
3. High degree of customization flexibility:
In addition to the material characteristics mentioned above, materials with other characteristics such as food grade, and antistatic or antibacterial coating can also be selected according to different usage scenarios. In addition, the vacuum forming process can even make certain rapid changes to the mold, so that it will not take too long to modify the design and then make it after rapid testing. Vacuum forming can be customized in shape, size, and function, such as trays, boxes, feeders, vertical planting systems, agricultural equipment shells, etc. The maximum forming size can reach 4500*2500*1000mm!
4. Lightweight and easy to operate:
Compared with metal products, the raw material of vacuum forming is plastic sheet, which has an absolute advantage in weight. In addition, it does not require too much manpower in operation, and the speed and cost of installation and maintenance are relatively lower.
5. Environmental protection:
The product has a relatively long service life and needs to be replaced less frequently. At the same time, most of the raw materials used in vacuum forming products can be recycled.
