Sprout Feeding Systems Construction

Structure: The SFS structure is designed as per the requirements of the customer. A high quality structure designed to our high quality standards. The structure is modular and can be made bigger without costly alterations to the structure.

Cover: The cover is made from Polycarb, strong enough to withstand the worst hail storm. Ultra violet protection and a sunlight defuser, with optimum chlorofil improvement properties. We prefer not to use PVC and normal IBR as we believe in superior quality at a fair cost, lasting for years without expensive replacements in future.

TraysFood grade quality and chemical resistant. Manufactured to withstand years of handling. The trays are purpose made for the SFS system and can withstand years of scrubbing and cleaning.

SFS Controlling systemThe secret to optimal sprout growth is our controlling system:

Climate control for all weather conditions. The SFS controlling system has a fully automatic operation with an

automatic reset in the event of power failures.

LightingThe only efficient source of light is sun light, that is why we don’t believe in any

other source of light, but sunlight.

Ultra violet light, the big destroyer of our planet, earth warming, skin cancer and other illnesses, is caused by ultra violet light. How can it benefit your sprouts? Other

than giving heat at a price!
