Low-cost agricultural tunnels

United Plastic Industries (UPI) is committed to providing high-quality products backed by a genuine guarantee that ensures customer satisfaction and continued performance, according to the type of product and the specified usage period.

United Plastic Industries (UPI) offers low-growing agricultural tunnel solutions made from polyethylene film, specifically designed to protect crops during their early growth stages and create a controlled microclimate around the plants. This contributes to a strong start to the season and improved production quality throughout the growing cycle.

Effective Row Covering:

This agricultural film is used to create low tunnels above rows of plants, acting as a protective cover that provides a more stable environment for seedlings and sensitive crops. Thanks to its carefully selected polyethylene composition and specialized additives, UPI tunnels help you:

  • Accelerate plant growth at the beginning of the season by raising the temperature around the plants compared to the outside air temperature.
  • Extend the growing period, allowing for early or late planting while maintaining plant vigor and quality.
  • Improve the growing environment for various types of vegetables, especially leafy greens and crops highly sensitive to weather fluctuations.
  • Maximize the use of cultivated space and reduce water loss compared to open-field farming.

Warranty

UPI reaffirms its commitment to providing reliable products backed by a warranty that enhances farmers’ confidence in product performance:

  • Warranty period: 12 months against any manufacturing defects.
  • The warranty covers maintaining the film’s essential properties—such as flexibility and shrinkage within permissible limits—when following the storage, installation, and operation instructions.

Technical Specifications

UPI's low-profile agricultural tunnel films are designed to suit short- and medium-term uses, taking into account the requirements of farmers in various agricultural environments.

Colours:

UPI low-profile tunneling films are produced in several basic colors to meet different lighting and thermal control requirements:

  • Clear
  • Green
  • White

Thicknesses:

Tunneling film is available in a range of thicknesses covering most low-profile tunneling applications, such as:

  • Thicknesses starting from 30 microns
  • Thicknesses starting from 100 microns.

Widths:

  • Displays starting from approximately 1.80 meters
  • Up to approximately 2.80 meters

Available Additives:

Tunnel films can be manufactured with one or more of the following technical additives – depending on the specific application:

  • To reduce the formation of water droplets suspended on the film’s inner surface, transforming it into a smooth layer. This minimizes the chance of water droplets falling on plants and reduces the spread of fungal diseases.
  • UV stabilizers to help maintain the film’s properties for longer periods under constant sunlight exposure.
  • Infrared control additives to reduce heat loss at night or limit daytime heat gain, thus improving temperature balance within the tunnel.
  • Light diffusers to help distribute light evenly within the tunnels and reduce harsh shadows on plants.
  • Special formulations to control certain light spectra associated with the spread of some viral diseases, supporting plant health within an integrated agricultural system.
