Greenhouse Window & Shade Controls
Regulate Light. Maintain Climate. Grow with Control.
Automated greenhouse systems rely on precise window and shade controls to regulate sunlight, temperature, and humidity. These are key factors in maximizing plant health and energy efficiency. Whether opening roof vents or adjusting shading panels, smooth, controlled motion is essential.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies the custom lead screws and linear actuators that enable this motion while our customers design and build the complete greenhouse automation systems. Our components offer quiet, reliable actuation for opening and closing vents, louvers, and retractable shades, even in high-moisture or fluctuating temperature environments.
From small hydroponic grow houses to large-scale commercial greenhouses, Helix components are engineered to perform dependably over long duty cycles and in demanding agricultural conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth, accurate motion for ventilation and shading mechanisms
- Weather- and corrosion-resistant components for greenhouse environments
- Compatible with programmable controllers and environmental sensors
- Helps optimize light exposure, reduce energy use, and protect crops
Helix provides the precision motion behind climate-responsive greenhouse systems so your automation can adapt, protect, and grow smarter.
