Geschichte

The aponix vertical barrel is a system that can provide many grow spaces in a vertically flexible and very dense way for any existing liquid based circulation system. It uses lego like parts that can be assembled into ring segments which then can be stacked. Sealed with a simple lid on top and on the bottom as standing or hanging versions. Attached with a spray nozzle or sprinkler for internal irrigation on the top you have a growing device which provides 168 grow spaces utilizing a height of 2.30m in a flat space of roughly 1sqm. It is up to your facility design, how many barrels you run and how you arrange and connect them.

Coming from outside the food industry and recognizing the existing large-scale food production is anything but sustainable and full of flaws, I was able to ask myself ‘How would you produce food, if you could completely reinvent it’ and provide an answer - the aponix vertical barrel.
