HydraFiber Celebrates 100th Greenhouse Installment
April 9, 2021 HydraFiber, in partnership with AgriNomix, recently celebrated its 100th installment of HydraFiber Processing Equipment. This comes after only a few years after its market launch.
The installation was done at N.G. Heimos Greenhouses in Millstadt, IL. N.G. Heimos has more than 2 million square feet of greenhouse production and ranked #27 on Greenhouse Grower’s 2020 Top 100 Growers report.
“After trialing, we saw firsthand that HydraFiber is an effective product that not only reduces risk because it’s made in the U.S., but it also improves operational efficiencies and lowers production costs,” said Amy Morris, Head Grower at N.G. Heimos. “It has been a lifesaver for us this year because of the scarcity of raw materials. We’ve been able to dial up our rate of HydraFiber to replace other materials that were unavailable, allowing us to keep our production running when we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to due to lack of other raw materials used in our soil blends.”
HydraFiber partnered with Agrinomix back in 2016 to create several configurations for its processing equipment. These configurations are:
- HydraFiber Expander Unit for growers with one to two planting lines
- HydraFiber Processing Unit for regional blenders and growers
- Extra Wide HydraFiber Processing Unit for high-capacity blenders and growers
“Working through these 100 installations has been great,” says Robert Lando, CEO of AgriNomix. “While every installation was different, we simply took stock of each grower’s existing machinery; then, our 3D design team worked up an implementation plan that incorporated the HydraFiber Processing Unit within the available footprint. Our field service technicians were key to incorporating both new and old machinery into fully integrated systems. We are very grateful to everyone involved in the first 100 installations, and we look forward to the next 100.”
