Dreams. Everybody’s got them. Dreams make you move, grow, create and innovate. Some dream of a family, a nice job or a better future. Others dream of running a marathon. We dream of a world where sufficient and healthy food is available for everyone. We are committed to this and contribute to the food chain by providing outstanding equipment to automate the production process of vegetables.

We love veggies
People who eat enough vegetables are healthier and are less likely to suffer from chronic diseases. TTA provide nurseries with high-tech equipment for handling and selecting young vegetables plants.

Professional nurseries around the world use various methods to grow vegetables. The choice of a method strongly depends on the growing period and the current or desired layout of the greenhouse. TTA’s equipment is suitable for almost all hydroponic cultivation systems, including Mobile Gutter System (MGS), Deep Floating Technique (DFT) and Multilayer Systems.
Growing methods:

Mobile Gutter System (MGS)
A Mobile Gutter System, is a type of horticulture that replaces the use of soil with a nutrient water solution. An in-line pump circulates nutrient enriched water through the plant’s root system, ensuring that they are watered and fed but not completely soaked. This enables you to perfectly control each type of plant with the exact amount of water and nutrients. This technique is mainly used for plants that are harvested relatively quickly, such as lettuce and herbs.
The main advantages of a MGS system:
- Precisely control how much water and nutrients the plant gets
- Plant roots are exposed to an adequate supply of water, oxygen and nutrients
- Higher yield per m2, high level automation
- Shortens crop cycles. The plant growth is faster.
Deep Floating Technique (DFT)
A Deep Floating Technique systems keeps the hydroponics plant roots in the nutrient solution for 15-20 centimeter at all times. Plants are placed on a floating tray in the liquid reservoir. The roots are hanging directly in the nutrient solution, which is very well oxygenated. This is done by means of an air pump and aeration stones, which introduce very fine air bubbles into the water. Since the roots are constantly supplied with oxygen-rich nutrient solution, the plants grow very quickly and vigorously.The main advantages of a DFT system:
- Perfect control of the amount of fertilizer
- Easy to operate
- All the growing conditions can be controlled
- Stable temperature and nutrient solution, because the waterreservoir can store a big amount of water.
Multilayer system
Multilayer Systems are widely used in vertical farms. Due to growing demands for food and the lack of available space, Vertical Farming is developing fast. In vertical farms, vegetables are grown under perfect conditions, because there are no external influences. This results in eco-friendly, safer and healthier vegetables.Plants can grow optimally, because the roots get much more oxygen, water and nutrients are added very precisely and LED lighting ensures the correct application of artificial light. A multilayer system uses less surface area, energy and water and production takes place year-round, which results in higher yields.
The main advantages of a Multilayer system:
- Year-round production
- Higher plant quality and uniformity
- Efficient use of space compared to traditional farms
Disinfecting plant grippers
Strict hygiene
Strict hygiene for our client’s healthy young plants of good quality are extremely important. In order to minimize disease risks, nurseries maintain a strict hygiene protocol.Automation in the greenhouse makes an important contribution to the prevention of plant diseases. Plants are no longer picked up by hand but minimally handled by high-tech equipment. TTA takes this one step further by disinfecting the plant grippers that pick up the plants before they contact the plant.
Dreams make you innovate
It’s our goal to provide our clients with the latest technologies in handling and selecting plants to guarantee healthy and uniform vegetable plants. Automated transplanting and selecting results in lower production costs, higher greenhouse efficiency and a higher yield.
More often TTA is approached to realize large-scale turnkey projects. Together with our network of experienced and reliable partners we take care of these complete projects.
