01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Understand the product and buying logic in one section.

01

Trough Profile

Five profile sizes that carry blocks, slabs or grow bags without any soil.
02

Substrate Options

Rock wool blocks or coco slabs both sit in the same trough without adaptation.
03

Bed Crops

Fruiting vegetables grown off the soil for cleaner and more predictable crops.
04

Rotation Speed

Old medium lifts out and new blocks go in while the trough stays in place.
02 / TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION

Keep specifications readable instead of burying them inside a long page.

Soilless Substrate Gutter PVC-U. Rather than a bed that has to be dug and sterilised. Also, a soilless substrate gutter carries blocks or slabs so the medium itself can be replaced between crops. Turnaround time drops. Also, carry-over of soil-borne problems disappears.

Key Features of the soilless substrate gutter

  1. Open trough shape made for substrate blocks, slabs or grow bags.
  2. Supplied in five profiles from 13 x 19 x 17.5 cm through to 30 x 45 x 45 cm.
  3. PVC-U body built for continuous contact with irrigation water.
  4. Bars of 2.9 m and 5.8 m, cut shorter where a bay is tighter.
  5. Reduces both irrigation volume and fertilizer spend per cycle.
  6. Service life beyond ten years in continuous cropping.
  7. Removes soil-borne carry-over of disease between plantings.

Where the soilless substrate gutter is used

Greenhouses growing tomato, pepper, melon and similar fruit crops on blocks rather than ground beds. It also suits growers moving from soil to substrate for the first time. This is because existing structures need little change.

Installation and System Integration

Lay the trough on its supports with a slight fall, drop in the blocks, then bring the drip line to each plant. Because surplus drains along the profile, blocks never sit in their own run-off.

Why Choose GNFORTUNE

The same extrusion control used for our other PVC profiles applies here. As a result, slot dimensions stay within tolerance for blocks bought anywhere. Several sizes can be combined inside one container. You can read more about the background of this method on Hydroponics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can bags be used instead of blocks?

Yes, the trough takes slabs, blocks and grow bags alike.

What replaces the substrate between crops?

Old medium lifts out and new blocks go straight in, with the trough itself staying in place.

Will drainage run along the row?

Yes, surplus flows along the profile to a collection point you choose.

03 / PRODUCT DETAILS

Group product close-ups into buyer-relevant technical points.

Open Body

Closed sides with a drainage channel running the length of the body.

Support Layout

Troughs laid on rails at working height rather than down on the ground.

Run-off Control

Surplus flows along the trough instead of pooling under each plant.

Blocks In Place

Loaded troughs with substrate blocks in place, ready to take the plants.
04 / COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

Let real greenhouse installations prove the application.

Tomato Blocks

Vine tomato rooted into rock wool blocks running along a long row.

Pepper Slabs

Peppers grown on slabs with a closed system collecting every drop.

Melon Production

Heavy feeding melons given full root room in the widest of the five profiles.

08 / BUYER FAQ

Questions buyers usually need answered before requesting a quote.

What crops are shown with this NFT gully?

The supplied product page shows strawberry and leafy-green greenhouse applications. Final planting spacing and layout should be confirmed for the specific crop and project.

Can the support system use different installation methods?

The supplied page shows both galvanized support stands and hanging greenhouse layouts. The final support configuration should be matched to the greenhouse structure.

Is this page intended for commercial greenhouse buyers?

The source material includes multi-row greenhouse installations and project photographs, so the redesigned page is structured around commercial and project-based buying decisions.

What information should be prepared for an RFQ?

For a useful project discussion, prepare the crop type, greenhouse dimensions, preferred row layout and any confirmed channel or support requirements.

09 / PROJECT RFQ

Planning an NFT greenhouse project?

Share the crop type, greenhouse size, row layout and target production plan so the sales team can discuss the appropriate gully and support configuration.
