Modula Biotech Tower

The ideal automated vertical warehouse that transforms vertical farming

A controlled environment for micropropagation, the cultivation of mushrooms, plants, and flowers, or insect farming, combining absolute quality with maximum efficiency.

The innovative Modula Biotech Tower vertical lift module, designed for micropropagation and vertical farming, makes it possible to grow crops under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, drastically reducing the amount of light required, cultivation times, and the risk of contamination.

It is an automated vertical tray-based system that stores materials while making the most of the available vertical space. Trays are handled by a central elevator that retrieves them and delivers them directly to the operator bay.

What are the advantages compared to traditional systems?

  • Climate control: stable, precise and easy-to-repeat processes.
  • Total biosecurity: a protected environment that drastically reduces external risks.
  • Uniform growth: to achieve consistently high quality standards.
  • Real efficiency: lower operating costs and smarter energy consumption.

Take Your Cultivation to the Next Level: Quality, Efficiency, and Safety in a Single System

We tested our system through multiple trials in collaboration with various partners, starting from highly complex crops.

The result?

  • Absolute production uniformity
  • Total control of climatic and environmental parameters
  • Greater efficiency, less waste, optimized yields

Space Optimization: More Plants, Less Floor Space

  • 75% reduction in floor footprint
  • Capacity for over 6,000 containers / 17,000 mason jars / more than 250,000 plantlets
  • 25% increase in production efficiency
  • Less light required thanks to the combined irradiation system
  • Zero waste
  • Perfect plants

In just 10 meters of height, more than 250,000 plants can be grown!

Thanks to this innovative approach, every plant, insect, and fungus cultivated in our system reaches the highest quality standards.

Uncompromising Quality: perfect plants, always

Faster Cultivation Cycles

Greater Efficiency, Accelerated Production

Our system enables precise and automated management of all environmental parameters, ensuring ideal growing conditions at every stage of the cycle.

  • Reduced cultivation time: save one week per cycle
  • Guaranteed climatic uniformity: constant temperature, humidity, and light throughout the entire storage volume

Perfect Contamination Control, Cleanliness, and Safety

The closed, insulated environment drastically reduces the risk of contamination. In most cases, the operator never has to physically access the cultivation area. Operations are carried out through an isolated bay equipped with casement windows with thermal break profiles: this allows interaction with the interior without compromising sterility.

  • Drastic reduction in contamination: from 10% to 1%
  • Stable and protected conditions for interference-free growth

The machine can be supplied by Modula with ozone spraying systems designed to sterilize all surfaces.
Ozone can be administered between cycles or, if desired, even during the cultivation cycle.
