Product Overview
The Hippotainer DWC is a revolutionizing way to grow food. Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a hydroponic method where plant roots are submerged in a nutrient-rich, oxygenated water solution, providing continuous access to essential nutrients and oxygen. This approach accelerates plant growth and boosts production.
The system is simple to set up and maintain, making it user-friendly. This innovative hydroponics farming system allows you to grow a wide range of crops including lettuce, leafy greens, herbs, and saffron.

Key Features
With 97m² for cultivation, it’s almost twice the size of most other container farms. Because we fit more in one container, the costs per m² go down.
The container’s interior is designed with multiple vertically stacked growing trays and strategically arranged DWC units, ensuring that every square meter contributes to production.
Fertigation derives by a composition from the words fertilization and irrigation and the action expressed by it is exactly what the word suggests: fertilization and irrigation in one activity.
The Deep Water Culture (DWC) combines an efficient irrigation system in which both nutrients and water can be manipulated and managed to obtain the maximum possible yield of marketable production. Since hydroponics systems are productive and easily automated without soil and optimal environmental conditions, provides better yield and crop productivity by saving water, energy, and space.
Hippotainer’s hydroponic system is stacked on top of each other. In this way, you can make the most of the available space. Our setup allows to grow more than 50000 seedlings or 3120 plants in one go.
Compared to other container solutions, our system offers a cost savings of over 60% per square meter, resulting in a quicker return on investment.
The Hippotainer is equipped with LED lights, the most energy-efficient light source. LED lighting offers significant benefits in modern agriculture by delivering precise control over the light intensity, spectrum, and photoperiod, which are essential factors for optimizing plant growth and development.
This level of control allows you to grow all year round regardless of the outside light conditions, obtaining a more homogeneous and consistent yield over time.
The Hippotainer is a real refrigerator container. The walls have robust layers of insulation and they are paired with an efficient HVAC system. This makes it easy to keep growth conditions for your crops optimal.
Thanks to the full control over temperature, airflow, and humidity, you can grow high-quality, seasonal crops year-round even under extreme weather conditions while preserving calibrated interior climate.
Hippotainer’s automated system ensures full control of the growing cycle through its array of built-in sensors. The automation ensures best growth conditions. It lowers the need for constant manual action.
This level of remote oversight not only minimizes the need for on-site supervision, reducing labor costs and enhancing operational efficiency, but also allows for rapid troubleshooting and adjustments to prevent crop stress.
