Semi-automatic greenhouse roof washer
In the semi-automatic version of the Roofmaster, control takes place via a touchscreen. Settings such as the start and end time or the number of rows to be washed are clearly displayed and easily adjusted.
Wash greenhouse cover
When you give the start signal to the roof washer via the touchscreen, the water pump starts and the system starts washing the greenhouse roof. After cleaning, the Roofmaster automatically moves to the next peak via the service rail. This continues until the set program is completed.
