Vertical farming
When air, temperature and moisture are evenly distributed between the cultivation layers, uniform growing conditions are created for all plants.
Uniform air distribution is essential for optimal yield of crops in vertical farming
KE Fibertec has developed the KE Greenduct concept specifically for growth facilities. The solution consists of a uniquely designed textile duct in either permeable or non-permeable polyester material, which ensures precise and efficient air distribution.
The air is distributed primarily through laser-cut holes and the system can be suspended directly on racks with hooks, on a suspension cable, placed directly on the rack platform, engage beneath the racks, or in specially-designed aluminum rails that take up minimal space.

Efficient air control in growing facilities with room-controlled system
The air is distributed evenly across hallways and in the room to ensure a uniform temperature and distribution.
Can be used with mobile shelving, allowing for a more flexible cultivation environment.
Fewer fans are needed to circulate canopy air, making it easier and more efficient to install and control the airflow.
KE GreenDuct can be easily washed, making facility hygiene much more effective.
KE GreenDuct can be treated with our environmentally friendly AntiBAC treatment (approved according to EN/ISO 20645 and EN/ISO 20743), which eliminates mold and fungus growth.
Precise microclimate control with KE GreenDuct
KE GreenDuct provides a uniform supply of air throughout the crop. This allows optimal growing conditions to be achieved.
KE GreenDuct can operate with variable air volume from 100% down to 25%.
Continuous air movement around the roots prevents stagnant air and possible growth of mold and mildew. It also helps the plant grow stronger.
All KE GreenDucts are custom-made to order and can be designed for installation inside racks, outside racks and for closed environmental containers.

By adding the air directly in the occupied zone, efficient heating and cooling is achieved without supply air volumes. It can reduce the energy consumption of the cooling and heating system by up to 30% and at the same time minimize the need for expensive steel ductwork.
A textile-based ventilation system is lighter both in the weight of the material and when assembled. This means significantly shorter assembly time - up to 9 times faster. It also requires less energy to achieve the same design criteria. With the savings in material , labor, not having to insulate or paint, it provides significantly lower operating and construction costs over traditional steel solutions.
The nozzles limit the induction of room air, so the air loses speed slower. The result is greater throw length and deeper thermal penetration, securing that both hot and cold air are accurately distributed throughout the space.
The hybrid solution combines air-permeable fabrics with KE-Direjet nozzles. It prevents condensation and dust on the ducts and ensures that both hot and cold air can be distributed efficiently and comfortably in the room.
