HORTI VIENNA 2013 is growing successfully

Already 95% of floor space booked in hall D. Participants are European market leaders active in greenhouse construction, manufacturers and installers of energy screens and shades, potting machines, substrates and irrigation techniques just to name a few.

In a larger ‘green’ area exhibitors will show cuttings and seedlings for vegetables and ornamentals, also nurseries from Austria will be present. A special showcase will be dedicated to new varieties of ornamental plants and vegetables.

Floristry is another new area within the HORTI VIENNA 2013. Floristic demonstrations for the audience are planned by exhibiting companies.

A conference program on all 3 days will cover subjects like irrigation control, green construction and glass, cut flower production as a market opportunity, technical aspects for the use of fans in greenhouses and LED plant lighting.

HORTI VIENNA partner country in 2013 will be Slovakia

This does underline the importance of the fair for our professional visitors from Eastern European neighbour countries.

As in 2011 following Association do sponsor Horti Vienna: Federal Association of Austrian Horticulturists, the Austrian Market Horticulturists Association and the Chamber of Agriculture Vienna.

Innovations and improvements

Fabric / knitted fabrics
Use of energy screens to improve energy efficiency. For the selection of a suitable screen material various factors such as cultivated crops, the required / desired temperatures and the location of the greenhouse play a role. Depending on the parameters, different fabric / knit ted fabrics are useful. Plantechnik Hartman AG, Großmaischeid (D)

Modern materials
The use of material Revolux increases its share of the diffuse light in the greenhouse, it prevents burns on the plants, thus reducing the use of shading. The material has in addition to the insulation also regulatory mechanisms to control the light level and the climate. Ludvig Svensson,  Hellevoetsluis (NL)

Double fabric screens
A better insulation in existing greenhouses can be achieved by a double fabric screen. The combination of a dayscreen and an energy saving screen offers a high potential of energy saving to the grower. This innovation is easy to install and to handle in the operation of greenhouses. Reimann Spinnerei &Weberei GmbH (D)

Screen management
To optimize the screen management in the suspension of the screens - ie to reduce the shadows of the installed systems and to reduce leaks Plantechnik Hartmann has developed a management system for greenhouses in Venlo greenhouse constructions that reduces the shadow up to 50%. The energy screen material is fixed with a keder into an aluminum rail as a guide channel. Since the fabric is not drawn with hooks but is attached to an aluminum profile with rubber ends there is also a close result in a construction without holes. When the screen is retracted, the material is collected unlike in case of driving systems in the aluminum track.

Other exhibitors in the area of ​​installation companies to energy screens are the companies Franz Schumann (D), Wolfgang Block (D) Richard Weber (D), Fischer (D) and Horconex (NL)

HORTI VIENNA 2013 will be held from October 8th to 10th  at the Vienna Fair Ground. Many manufacturers will show the latest developments, products and services for greater energy efficiency in greenhouses.
