Hydroponic Grow Container
Box Container Group’s Hydroponic Grow Container is a highly engineered modular and mobile vertical production environment custom built for a wide variety of crops, botanical products and business models.
We design and modify 20’, 40’, 45’ and 53’ insulated shipping containers to provide the optimum controlled vertical environment for growing a wide range of horticultural, floriculture and agricultural products in all environments and climates. In addition to leafy greens in our grow racks, one can also grow herbs and other shallow root crops.
Our hydroponic containers are completely customizable, mobile and stackable. They can be installed in your building, on your factory roof or in your parking lot.
Harvest Consistently
With plants safe from pests and the elements, hydroponics allows for growers to grow consistently, regardless of seasonality.
Save Water
Hydroponic systems use significantly less water than soil-based farming and allow you to recycle the water you give to your plants.
Protect Year-Round
Food is typically vulnerable to extreme weather and pests. Hydroponic systems can be set up indoors, away from harmful elements.
Reduce Labor
Hydroponic systems require no tilling, weeding, heavy-lifting, or extensive stooping and kneeling. Reduce labor without affecting yields.
The Benefits of Hydroponics
Containers and hydroponic farming appear to be a natural fit because containers provide security, portability, quick deployment, consistent production platforms, and controlled environments.
This kind of indoor container farming has wide possible uses for cold, northern areas, where the costs of transport for food greatly outweigh the expense for relatively small amount of electrical energy needed to power an enclosed operation. A typical shipping container farm uses about 80 kWh of energy per day, or 30,000 kWh per year. This is about three times the average electricity consumption for a household in North America, but far below many industrial operations.
Because they recycle their own water, container farms use about 90 percent less water than a typical 1.5 acre land farm.
