INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES
Rupex Growtech Ltd is logistically located in Karaka where it has set up a cost effective and modern plug plant-plant facility.
Being located at the fringes of the main growing area of Pukekohe, it combines the advantages of being reasonably away from the growing belt to minimize chances of ‘disease & insect pests’ flow back, while maintaining easy accessibility to the growing community. Being less than half an hour drive from Auckland International Airport, it is also conveniently placed for overseas visitors.
Land and Buildings
About 25 acres of north facing land, with a new custom designed 8600 square meter of greenhouse space, ample outdoor area for hardening the seedlings, with adequate work and support buildings.
Water resources
We have a bore hole with commercial / horticultural drawing rights of 300 cubic a day, a reservoir with more than 1000 cubic meter capacity, water treatment unit, and water tanks to store sterilised water.
The dependable and ample source of good quality water supply ensures that we can produce large number of seedlings all year round (Including the driest months)
Machinery & equipment
We are equipped with high speed custom built drum Seeders for main sowings, a precision pneumatic sowing machine for specific sowings, and a manual seeding machine for smaller lots of seeds.
To handle the planting materials, we have ample steel and wood pallets and delivery racks with a capacity to house about 10 million plants in the peak summer time.
This coupled with forklifts and tractors enable us to move the planting material with ease and handle large volumes efficiently and cost effectively.
Material handling system
We are in the process of installing ‘Rolling bench system’ as a major and long-term step to improve quality and viability of the plug plant production system. It will help the production line in:
- Have uniform and sturdy seedlings
- Modern and extra materials handling ability
- More facile and manageable production line
- Minimises machinery movement on the ground
Expected time of completion is by end of 2022 and would provide growing space of about 7000 Square meters.
When completed it will look like something like this:
