POLYTUNNEL AND GREENHOUSE CLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning of both polytunnels and greenhouses helps create an optimal growing environment, leading to healthier plants, improved yields and a better quality harvest of fruit, plants and vegetables.
BENEFITS OF CLEANING WITH A DRONE
Alternative Polytunnel Cleaning Options. While manually cleaning a polytunnel is possible, it’s impractical and highly time-consuming, especially for large commercial sites. A drone overcomes these challenges and offers additional benefits.
Efficiency & Speed
Drones can cover large greenhouse areas quickly, reducing cleaning time compared to manual scrubbing or pressure washing. Automated systems ensure consistent and thorough cleaning without missing spots
Removes the Potential of Disease and Pests
Algae and damp conditions create an ideal environment for mould, fungi, and bacteria, which can spread plant diseases. Regular cleaning removes debris, eliminating hiding spots for pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and slugs
Enhanced Safety
Drones have quickly become invaluable to Health & Safety efforts, eliminating the need for workers to climb ladders or scaffolding to access high areas, thereby reducing the risk of falls and injuries. They also minimise exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals and slippery surfaces, enhancing overall workplace safety.
Better Coverage & Precision
Our drones feature AI-powered spraying systems that ensure even distribution of cleaning solutions across all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas where other methods may struggle
Fast Results
Minimising the need for manual labour, our drones allow workers to focus on essential tasks like planting, feeding and harvesting. Their speed ensures the job is completed quickly and efficiently, when you need it done, not when you can spare the staff
Water & Chemical Efficiency
Our drone technology uses targeted spraying, reducing the amount of water and cleaning solution required, as well as minimising waste. This reduces the costs of each clean
Extended Greenhouse Lifespan
Regular, thorough cleaning helps prevent algae, mould, and dirt buildup, preserving the structure, integrity, and longevity of the materials.
Using drones for greenhouse cleaning is a game-changer, improving efficiency, safety, and overall plant health while reducing costs and environmental impact
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Any business expense must be justified, and in this case, the benefits should be measurable in terms of improved harvest yields and crop quality from each area.
The primary goal of cleaning a polytunnel or greenhouse is to maximise light penetration, leading to better growth and higher returns from every growing space. When achieved, the cost of cleaning not only pays for itself year after year but also extends the lifespan of the structures.
