Abstract

System for cutting and collecting vegetable products arranged on at least one cultivation shelf. The cultivation shelf has a base to which root portions of the products cling, and a cultivation face opposite the base and from which epigeal portions of the vegetable products extend. The system has: a loading station to support the cultivation shelf in an upside down position, wherein the base is arranged above the cultivation face so that the epigeal portions of the products extend from the cultivation face below the relative root portions and remain suspended and extended by gravity below the cultivation face; a cutting unit to cut the epigeal portions suspended below the cultivation face, so as to separate them by gravity from the root portions clinging to the base of the cultivation shelf; and a collection station to collect the epigeal portions cut and separated by gravity from the cultivation shelf.

Abstract

The invention concerns a system for cultivating plant products without soil comprising a plurality of shelves for cultivating plant products. The shelves have a reference axis and comprise: a supporting frame, a plurality of cultivation bars which have an approximately rectilinear shape, extend along respective longitudinal axes, and are coupled to the supporting frame so as to be arranged approximately coplanar and alongside one another, and have the respective longitudinal axes parallel to the reference axis and mechanical spacing members, which are interleaved between the adjacent cultivation bars, and are each structured so that the actuation of a mechanical spacing member causes a variation of the distance transverse to the reference axis, between two cultivation bars immediately adjacent to the same member. The invention also concerns a method for cultivating plant products.
