The Ebb and Flow table also called flood table is a hydroponic system that simulates natural tidal phenomena. This kind of hydroponic supplies China promotes healthy growth of plant roots by periodically submerging and draining nutrient solutions. The ebb and flow hydroponic system for sale periodically submerges trays with nutrient water, suspending crops in the water and soaking their roots in beneficial nutrients. Subsequently, the ebb and flow hydroponic system for sale will return the excess nutrient solution to the reservoir through the overflow outlet, and this process will be carried out regularly, similar to the ebb and flow phenomenon in the ocean.

JY supplies commercial ebb and flow hydroponic systems for greenhouse growers, nurseries, flower farms, seedling production and vertical farming projects. The system is also known as a flood and drain system, using controlled irrigation cycles to flood the growing tray with nutrient solution and then drain it back to the reservoir for reuse.

Our product range includes ebb and flow tables, hydroponic flood trays, hydroponic grow racks and vertical ebb and flow systems. Buyers can choose standard sizes or request customized layouts based on crop type, greenhouse area, planting density and automation requirements.

How does the Ebb and Flow Hydroponic System Work?

  • Benches are designed to be perfectly level.

  • Floor trays are molded with a network of drainage channels and plumbing wells to ensure complete drainage of irrigation water from plants when the watering is finished.

  • When plants require watering, the nutrient solution is pumped into the bench and the capillary within the plant roots absorbs sufficient nutrient solution.

  • The remaining nutrient solution is to be drained completely and returned to the reservoir under gravity for recycling.

  • From start of irrigation cycle to complete drain of full irrigation takes approximately 20 minutes.


Features of Ebb and Flow Hydroponic System

  • The fully recirculating system saves 50%-90% water,75%-90% fertilizer and 60%-90% labor costs when compared to traditional watering methods.

  •  Plants are always watered very evenly while keeping the floor remaining clean and dry.

  •  Extended frame type is available for installing lighting system.

  • The ebb and flow hydroponic system for sale can easily control relative humidity, lighting and carbon dioxide level in the growing environment.

  •  Most plants grown on ebb & flow benches tend to finish 1 to 2 weeks earlier than other irrigation systems.

  •  Ebb & flow benches can be stacked in propagation and seedling areas, and growth chambers.

  • The ebb and flow hydroponic system for sale is compatible with computer control systems and various specifications are available to meet different demands.
