Propagation Heat Pads
High quality Roll-Up Propagation Heat Pads are the best way to maximise performance in a propagating system over winter or year-round.
Don’t risk the life of your seedlings and having to spend hours emptying a carefully planted propagation table because an inferior heat pad was used that became faulty.
Pure Hydroponics heat pads are a hassle-free way to fast-track seedling growth in your nursery propagation area.
The mats can be laid on your propagating table with a sheet of minimum 200 micron waterproof greenhouse film or panda film over the heat pad to protect it from excess moisture and abrasion. (2 Layers are advised)
An additional sheet of thin plywood, PVC or fluteboard can be placed over the heat pad if Ebb and Flow table plates are not used on top of the heat pads. Heat will still radiate through that covering material and provide additional protection for the heat pad.
A 25 – 50mm thick polystyrene sheet should be laid under the heat pad to prevent heat loss from the bottom and to maximise the upward radiance of heat.
Media filled propagating trays or Ebb and Flow table trays can then be placed on top of the heatpads. These conceal the pads and provide additional protection.
Place the thermostat probe into the propagating media and it will automatically turn the heat pads on and off to maintain a desired media temperature.
The heat pad thermostat is then plugged into an electrical socket with Residual Current Device (RCD) protection on the power circuit.
Custom Length Roll up Heat Pads (Thermostat Must Be Purchased Separately)
Can be made to 9 metres in length. No built in thermostat so thermostat must be purchased separately. 1 thermostat can control any number of heat pads simply by connecting a multiplug power board to the thermostat. When the heatpads are not in use the thermostat can also be used to control other electrical devices such as fans, heaters or chillers.
Simply use two 550mm wide heat pads side by side in parallel to achieve a greater coverage area and share the same thermostat controller.
The Roll Up Heat Pad element is made up of a unique Carbon Ink Lamination between two layers of Mylar film. It has a copper electrode down either side of the Carbon Ink. The negative and positive wires are terminated to each copper strip.
Power usage is 100 Watts per lineal metre of heat pad (e.g 1.5m long pad = 150 Watts).
550mm wide per metre $120.00 + GST
Thermostat for Heat Pad $120.00 + GST
