ValkCabrioRail | Maximum ventilation capacity

A Cabrio greenhouse combines the benefits of greenhouse cultivation with the benefits of outdoor cultivation. This is, of course, conditional on you being able to open the greenhouse roof fully and stably.

The ValkCabrioRail ventilation mechanism by Van der Valk Horti Systems meets this condition effortlessly. This system sets itself apart from other systems because of the two push/pull tubes arranged either one above the other or next to each other, and because of the unique patented telescope structure for maximum ventilation capacity.

Key system benefits:

  • Increases yields per m2
  • Perfects crop quality
  • Maximum light transmission
  • For all crop types that have to be exposed to the exterior climate
  • Creates ideal growing conditions in local circumstances worldwide

ValkVentDrive: The right drive system for any Venlo greenhouse

With three different drive types to choose from, you will always get the right system for your greenhouse!

Two pull/push tubes one above the other

The screen fits freely against the truss Allows screening on the upper beam Double consoles Guarantees ‘free movement’ of push rods Calculation program calculates the space required between the two sets of push rods

How does it work?

Two push rods move simultaneously on the upper and lower tube. The structure is combined with ValkPushRod window push rods and the ValkStabiMax hinge element.

Two pull/push tubes next to each other

Aluminium Delta window push rods optional Single consoles Symmetrically installed consoles Please note: screening on the upper beam requires the consoles to be raised

How does it work?

Simultaneous movement of steel push tube to the left and right of the truss

Two pull/push tubes next to each other and overlapping greenhouse roof sections

Same as ValkCabrioRail type 3, but with more travel thanks to the asymmetric console positioning Prevents rain entering the greenhouse thanks to overlapping roof sections Please note: screening on the upper beam requires the consoles to be raised

Calculations

The ValkCabrioRail ventilation mechanism is calculated completely for each situation using the unique WinTop calculation program, which was developed in partnership with TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research.

Based on various variables (the geometry of the roof, the maximum local wind load, the required opening angle, etc.), all factors that may affect the system’s reliability are calculated. Such factors include the required structural strength, clearance between the mechanism and the roof structure, and the position of the rail consoles and rack and pinions.
