THE GYROSNAP™
ZERO-SUBSTRATE
REUSABLE
GROWING PLUG
​The GyroSnap™ is a modified GyroCup™ featuring two wider prongs. While it still utilises natural surface tension like the GyroCup™, it is specifically designed to accommodate smaller seed types.

12 Benefits of the GyroSnap™
#4 COMPATIBLE WITH ALL HYDROPONIC TECHNOLOGY
-
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
-
Flood and drain
-
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
-
Aeroponics
-
Aquaponics
#5 FACILITATES A RANGE OF PROPAGATION TECHNIQUES
The GyroSnap™ is compatible with various indoor cultivation methods. Like the GyroCup™, it uses natural wicking action from surface tension to draw water from a reservoir to the seed or can be easily sprayed with water. The GyroSnap™ is simple to use and perfect for growing light leafy greens and plants with small seeds.

#3 EASY TO CLEAN
Silicone rubber is easily washable by hand or in a washer​.​
Single-use substrates contribute to contamination by bringing in diseases and creating environments for mould and algae to thrive in.
However, reusable products are designed for easy cleaning, reducing water and chemicals.​
The GyroSnap™ can withstand high temperatures (up 150 degrees) without degrading.
#6 SIMPLE PROCESS
Circular economy solution without the hassle.
#2 COST EFFICIENT
​No need to worry about volatile substrate supply chains, shipping costs, storage, material or waste costs.
​Purchasing and replacing single-use substrates present ongoing expenses for indoor farmers, with costs continually rising.
Reduce your costs by eliminating single-use substrates. Reusable options offer more cost-effective solutions.​​ No substrate waste costs.
The GyroSnap™ = a cheaper reusable superstructure.
#11 NO SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITIES
​​Current farms heavily depend on incoming substrates, posing challenges in remote areas.
Reusable products provide operational security.​​
No more worrying about volatile substrate supply chains, material handling, excessive cleaning.​​
#12 FACILITATES RANGE OF CROPS

#7 LESS CONTAMINATION
The GyroSnap™ reduces rot, mould, algae, pests - all commonly found in single-use and synthetic growing substrates. ​​
#8 OPTIMISES PLANT AND ROOT DEVELOPMENT
​Compared to single-use substrates, the GyroSnap™ can achieve better root development and growth for many crops, even compared to coir.
​
Nutrient Management:
Achieving the right nutrient balance in substrates can be complex. Reusables simplify nutrient management, potentially enhancing plant growth.
​
Water Management:
Substrates require precise water management, with deviations leading to root diseases or nutrient imbalances. Reusable superstructures improve water use efficiency and reduce nutrient waste.​
#9 UNIQUE MATERIAL
The GyroSnap™ is made from food grade silicone rubber, unlike typical vertical farming accessories systems which are made from plastic. It's not only food safe, but will reduce plastic use and waste in indoor farming. ​
Our silicone rubber formula is :​
-
Non reactive to oxidising agents
-
Anti-bacterial
-
UV resistant
-
Wear resistant
-
Stable in -50°C to +200°C
-
Easy to clean
#10 AUTOMATION
No matter which technique you use with the GyroSnap™, we have the machinery and network to help automate seedling, handling and cleaning.
​
We are currently designing a seed tape automation machine to help our larger partners and customer for varying levels of automation. Please let us know if you would like to become a trial partner.
