About PVF
PVF stands for Polyvarietal Vertical Farming System, which is an innovative approach to urban agriculture that enables the growing of multiple plant species concurrently within the same vertical structure.
Traditional container farming is limited to growing one or a few similar plant varieties together due to their shared growth protocols or growing recipes. PVF defies these limitations by accommodating the specific needs of each plant type through customizable universal growing conditions.
PVF maximizes space utilization, enhances crop diversity, and supports sustainable and efficient food production for the future. This cutting-edge approach to farming enables the growing of a diverse range of plant species concurrently, which is not possible with traditional container farming systems.
The PVF System provides customizable universal growing conditions that enable optimal growth and productivity for a wide assortment of crops. This ensures that each plant type receives the specific conditions they need to thrive.
About CORE System
CORE (Climate Optimized Regenerative Environment) is a revolutionary regenerative environment designed specifically to optimize climate conditions for plant growth.
A CORE consists of a comprehensive set of components, including Cultivatix GrowCapsules, spectrum penetrating lights, vertical grow walls, and a sophisticated control system. These elements work together to create an ideal growing environment.
The number of CORE units you purchase depends on your goals and desired results. It’s essential to customize the CORE system to meet your individual needs. Generally, installing multiple COREs can lead to higher yields and lower operating costs, as the combined units work synergistically to maximize productivity.
With a CORE 10, you can achieve high yearly yields. On a CORE 10 system, you can harvest approximately 21,635 Lb (36,979 kg) of green leafy vegetables annually. This substantial yield showcases the productivity and efficiency of the CORE system.
About CX Capsules
CX Capsules are indoor agricultural structures that are high-performance, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. These controlled environment structures are composed of panels made of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) composite material.
CX capsules are different from other products on the market because they use an insulated FRP curved wall structure that forms a sealed envelope to control internal temperatures, moisture, and CO2 concentration. The exterior is also covered with a durable PVDF UV-resistant waterproof membrane for years of continued service.
Absolutely. CX structures can be deployed in urban and suburban areas to generate farms and provide locally grown food to consumers and greater business visibility.
Capsules offer a controlled and sustainable solution for indoor cultivation, eliminating the need for traditional farming methods that rely on external weather conditions. They also reduce the use of pesticides and herbicides, creating a healthier and more environmentally friendly approach to agriculture.
The benefits of using CX capsules include creating a healthy and nourishing environment for indoor cultivation, reducing energy costs, improving crop yields and quality, and modularity that allows it to be configured to fit nearly any building design.
Our panels are made by mixing fibers and resins together, and then hardening the mixture into a safe and stable material.
Our product is a comprehensive solution that includes a range of components such as Fiber Reinforced Polymer panels, Bolts, Nuts, expansive mechanical anchors, Textile facade, and SIP Facades without doors. Additionally, we are soon integrating a crop growth control system into our product, providing a complete and efficient solution for your needs.
The assembly order of the FRP panels is included in the assembly guide for each product, which the customer can refer to.
To construct a CX Capsule, assemble arched shapes by putting together panels. First, use chalk to draw the architectural layout on the floor. Then, follow the assembly guide to assemble the first arch by laying the panels on the ground. Next, build a few more arches, lift them, and attach them to the previous ones until the structure is complete. Make sure to follow the chalk design and instructions accurately. Next, assemble the facades and apply an intumescent coating to waterproof the joints between the panels on the outside. Finally, cover the entire structure with a textile cover.
Yes. Our Cutivatix panels come with a 5-year warranty.
Our structures can be built in any weather conditions. However, it’s essential to adapt its internal conditioning based on the weather and crop requirements.
Polyvarietal Farming (PVF) within Cultivatix Capsules revolutionizes the way we approach agriculture by fostering the growth of multiple plant species in a single vertical structure.
This innovative method not only maximizes the use of available space but also promotes sustainable food production in urban environments.
