GYROPLANT'S 

DESIGN 

SERVICES

GyroPlant offers a design service to integrate our technologies to any growing system at any scale.

CROP SPECIFIC DESIGN

HEAD DESIGN

Custom head designs can be created for additional support such as for Legumes. This is useful for horizontal plant growth typically seen in wall based growing systems.

CUSTOM TRAYS DESIGN

Upon request, we can design custom trays to accommodate GyroCups™, including adjustments in diameter size. However, our technology typically retrofits to fit existing company machinery.
