WHO ARE GROWPURA®?

At GrowPura®, we are aware of the many difficulties associated with effectively using land due to issues such as climate change and the lack of suitable land to cope with increasing populations.

These factors combined with changes in dietary habits and requirements led to the team developing a revolutionary vertical moving hydroponics technology.

Our unique and innovative GrowPura® process technology can be applied to many different plants and thus meets the needs of different markets.

The solution provides optimum conditions for growing plants all year round.

HOW IT WORKS

A vertical moving technology within a clean room environment.

Seedlings are transplanted within the propagation area to the final plant density. When the plants reach the target size, they are transported via an automated loader on to the moving vertical conveyor system. Gondolas circulate around the bio-hall until ready for harvest. A pre-harvest rest area is used to prepare plants for harvest in pristine conditions.
