Superior tomato cultivation through advanced climate strategy

D’VineRipe: superior tomato cultivation through advanced climate strategy

D’VineRipe, a prominent name in South Australian tomato cultivation, faced a significant climatic challenge to ensure the production of first-grade tomatoes. With external temperatures fluctuating between -2°C and +47°C, the company needed a robust and sustainable solution to maintain ideal growing conditions, double its production capacity, and reduce its environmental impact. The key to overcoming these challenges was a climate strategy that offered reliability, energy efficiency, and optimal water management.

Our solution: cutting-edge climate system for optimal growth

To overcome these challenges, D’VineRipe entered into a strategic partnership with us, as global leader in climate control solutions. The collaboration led to the implementation of advanced cooling pad and fan technology to create a stable and controlled microclimate within the glasshouses. Our system consistently maintains temperatures between 24°C and 28°C and humidity between 65% and 75%, regardless of external fluctuations. This precise control is crucial for promoting healthy tomato growth and maximizing yields. In addition, the use of algae- and mold-resistant Munters CELdek pads and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel wet wall system ensures long-term durability and low maintenance.

Exceptional results: production growth and environmental sustainability

Thanks to the collaboration with us, D’VineRipe achieved extraordinary results. The company successfully doubled its cultivation capacity and consistently produced superior quality tomatoes. The stable growing environment led to predictable yields and a reduced need for chemical pesticides. On the sustainability front, the system significantly reduced energy consumption for cooling and humidification. Furthermore, water recycling and the use of sustainable sources reinforced D’VineRipe’s commitment to resource conservation, enabling efficient water usage and a reduced environmental footprint.
