Bloem and Helle-Tech to revolutionise greenhouse lighting in Finland
Added on 12 August 2024
“Growers & academics agree that as a rule of thumb, a 1% increment in PPFD results in a 1% increase in yield,” commented James Fleet, Co-Founder of Bloem. “Today’s announcement provides greenhouse growers with the tools to increase productivity whilst optimising cost-of-ownership.”
“By combining Helle-Tech’s expertise and experience together with Bloem’s innovative engineering, the partnership aims to redefine industry standards,” added Timo Helle, Managing Director of Helle-Tech. “This strategic alliance underscores a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, offering growers a competitive edge in the evolving landscape of controlled environment agriculture.”
The Benefits
Enhanced PPFD & Improved Uniformity
Patent pending adjustable light-engines designed to increase PPFD by up to 36% on the vertical face of your vine growing plants and improve leafy green uniformity by up to 32% vs. standard manufacturer optics.
Reduced CAPEX
Patent pending adjustable light-engines enable fewer fixtures to be used vs. standard manufacturer, lowering capital expenditure.
Modular Design
Modular configuration enables every aspect of the solution to be customised according to the individual growers needs or preferences. Interchangeable modules enable growers to future-proof their investment by changing the spectra and / or upgrading to the latest LED chip efficiencies without replacing the fixture.
