EAN can be a great choice because it uses a tubular motor. Apart from these, there are other types, namely:
Single-Zone Tubular Motors
These are the simplest and most widely used types. In these, the same temperature is applied to the whole greenhouse. This means that whatever heat or cooling that goes inside the greenhouse using this motor will affect the entire greenhouse.
Dual-Zone Tubular Motors
These are also known as bi-zones. As their name implies, there are two zones in this type of greenhouse. With this motor, there is temperature control of two distinct areas.
This motor is nice since it allows different temperatures for the two zones. However, it is a little costly compared to single-zone motors.
Variable-Speed Tubular Motors
Continuing with greenhouse heaters, there are motors that can control the temperature in the greenhouse to a specific level. These are the variable speed motors.
These motors let the user set the speed at which the motor turns to heat or cool the greenhouse. This allows precise temperature control, which enables energy savings.
Smart Tubular Motors
With the revolution of technology, these types of motors also came into being. These motors allow remote operation and monitoring through smartphones or tablets.
This feature of wireless operation can be very useful on large farms when one needs to oversee many greenhouses.
The reason why the Tubular Motors Rosh are so easy to work with and so efficient is largely due to their design. Below is what constitutes their design:
Casing
This is the outer shell or case of the motor. Usually, it is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or sometimes plastic. This is ROHS approved non toxic material that one can use to construct tubular motors. It protects the internal components from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors.
Motor Shaft
The motor shaft is the part that converts the rotational motion from the motor to the movement of whatever is being operated. In this case, it is the window or terrace door. For tubular motors, the shaft is housed inside the casing.
Mounting Bracket
Motor installation is mostly done using these brackets. These mounting brackets are usually part of the kit when buying the motor. They can also be diverse in their designs, some being fixed on the wall, while others are placed on the ceiling.
End Caps
These are the parts that cover the ends of the motor casing and support the shaft. Without them, the internal components will be exposed and this will affect the working of the motor.
Retractable Rollers
For the tubular motor to function, it should be nicely tucked into the casing. Retractable rollers are usually placed inside the casing to ensure that the fabric or mesh moves smoothly as the motor rotates.
Tubular Motors work better in greenhouses and they have different applications in different kinds of greenhouses. These scenarios include:
Domestic Greenhouses
Tubular Motors are mainly used for temperature control in small home greenhouses. It helps the plants to grow better since the right temperature will always be maintained.
Commercial Greenhouses
In commercial large scale greenhouses, a lot of greenhouses prefer tubular motors for temperature control. They are efficient and make it easy to run large operations.
Hydroponic Greenhouses
These greenhouses do not contain soil at all. They depend on nutrient solutions to feed the plants. Therefore, temperature is a critical factor in these types of greenhouses. Tubular Motors are used to maintain the correct temperature for plant growth.
Vertical Greenhouses
Vertical greenhouses are growing structures that maximize space via stacking several layers. Therefore, maintaining the right temperature in such a greenhouse might be hard. But with Tubular Motors, they help in balanced temperature distribution throughout the structure.
When buying greenhouse tubular motors, buyers should consider the following factors to get the right products for their customers:
Greenhouse Size
Buyers should first consider the size of the greenhouse their customers want to control. For large greenhouses, stronger motors are needed. Buyers should also consider the greenhouse's heating and cooling requirements. Those in cold regions should get motors with heating elements, while those in hot areas should get motors with cooling elements.
Energy Efficiency
This is because energy-efficient motors can help reduce electricity bills. This will be a very critical factor for the commercial greenhouse owners.
Control Options
Buyers should choose motors with the control options preferred by their customers. Some customers might want manual operation options, while others prefer automatic control. Also, there are tubular motors that can be controlled through mobile devices.
Noise Level
Tubular Motors are noisy, especially if they are several installed in one place. If the customer is in a residential area or is growing sensitive plants, then they should look for quiet motors.
Brand Reputation
Buyers should ensure they only buy motors from trusted brands. Researching online or asking other customers for recommendations may help get quality motors.
A1.Yes, it is possible to do so. Tubular motors can be used in both heating and cooling systems in greenhouses. They help maintain the required temperature for plant growth all year round.
A2.The maintenance needs for these motors are very little. But sometimes, it's advisable to occasionally check the motor for any signs of wear and tear. Cleaning it to avoid dust and other particles from affecting it will also be necessary.
A3.Tubular Motors are efficient when it comes to energy consumption. They are also easy to install and operate, making them a good option for controlling temperature in greenhouses.
A4.Yes. Buyers also have to consider customer preferences when deciding on control methods. This makes the motors very flexible, especially for farmers who manage multiple greenhouses.
A5.The main components are casing, motor shaft, mounting bracket, end caps, and retractable rollers. These parts protect and support the motor as well as help it function properly.
