KICK-Brauckmann
Our versatile culture vessel made of robust, chemically inert PE plastic is ideal for scientific plant experiments. It is impact-resistant, break-proof and dimensionally stable and can be set up free-standing, buried or used in experimental trolleys.
Equipment:
- Culture vessel with insert top and drainage nozzle with transparent PE tube
- Black water collection bottle (3 L) for hanging up
- Plant holder with height-adjustable rings
- Optional: transparent protective cover against weather and bird damage
Special advantages:
- Good insulation against heat thanks to double walls
- Stackable and space-saving
- No metal contact - ideal for trace element analysis
- UV-resistant
Possible applications:
- Precise watering (e.g. according to Mitscherlich)
- Watering from above or below (side pouring)
- Water culture with water level indicator
- Experiments on waterlogging, swamp conditions, frost and overwintering
- Can also be used as a lysimeter
The culture vessel offers maximum flexibility and safety for a wide range of experimental set-ups in research and practice.
Options
The container transport trolley is a maintenance-free, robust stainless steel construction that has been specially developed for use in vegetation systems. It enables uniform exposure and easy handling of plant culture vessels - especially of the Kick-Brauckmann and Mitscherlich type.
Thanks to ball-bearing wheel flanges, easily rotatable aluminum turnstiles and adjustable axles, up to 64 vessels can be moved and weighed efficiently. The trolley can be operated from one side, significantly reducing working time and effort.
Advantages at a glance:
Up to 25 % space saving in the system
Uniform light and climate conditions
Simple and fast weighing & watering
Significant reduction in workload
Expandable for 32, 48 or 64 vessels
The system also offers optimum conditions for standardizing environmental factors in plant trials for artificial light chambers.
The mobile weighing device is a high-quality stainless steel construction that has been specially developed for use with Kick-Brauckmann and Mitscherlich containers. It can be used flexibly throughout the entire propagation house and can be locked directly onto the STOMA container transport trolley - ideal for precise and semi-automated watering processes.
The watering process is significantly simplified thanks to programmable scales, an integrated water connection and a pump for the existing water supply system (e.g. distilled water tank). Ball-bearing guide elements and springs allow the pots to be lifted gently - without any effort at all.
The compact control electronics are safely housed in the lower casing. Depending on requirements, various shower heads are available, the height of which can be individually adjusted by the operator. Weighings are conveniently recorded via an integrated control panel.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Flexible and mobile use
- Semi-automatic, precise pouring process
- Integrated weighing technology & water control
- User-friendly operation and height adjustment
- Documentation directly on the device
Ideal for modern greenhouses with high demands on efficiency and accuracy.
