Agrifirst Fan & Pad Polyhouse (FAPPH) is India's premier climate-controlled greenhouse system, delivering precise temperature and humidity management through advanced evaporative cooling technology. Designed with Israeli engineering expertise, this polyhouse maintains optimal growing conditions (18–28°C) even in India's harshest summers when ambient temperatures soar above 45°C.
Why Fan & Pad Polyhouse?
- Precision Temperature Control — Evaporative cooling pads combined with exhaust fans create a 8–12°C temperature drop from ambient, maintaining the ideal 18–28°C range for sensitive crops
- Humidity Management — Automated systems maintain 60–80% relative humidity, critical for crops like rose, gerbera, and orchid that demand consistent moisture levels
- Year-Round Premium Production — Produce export-quality flowers and vegetables 365 days a year, regardless of external weather conditions
- Automated Climate Control — Sensor-driven automation adjusts fan speed, pad water flow, and curtain positions based on real-time temperature and humidity data
- Supreme Crop Quality — Controlled environment produces uniform, blemish-free produce that commands 50–100% price premiums in domestic and export markets
How the Fan & Pad System Works
Hot ambient air is pulled through water-saturated cellulose cooling pads on one side of the polyhouse. As air passes through the wet pads, evaporation absorbs heat energy, cooling the air by 8–12°C. Powerful exhaust fans on the opposite wall create negative pressure, drawing this cool, humid air across the entire growing area before exhausting warm air outside. This continuous cycle maintains ideal growing temperatures even in peak summer.
