Plastic gutter sheets for greenhouses - ESSEN Multipack Ltd Rajkot, being masters in developing quality plastic products used in Agriculture, printing, packaging etc took a challenge to develop plastic gutters for greenhouses. The challenge was difficult as the competition was with GI gutters. The technical team of ESSEN considered rain water intensity, pressure, self weight/ load etc and developed plastic gutters in three different thicknesses viz l.2mm, 1.4 mm and 1.6 mm with a specific width of 600 mm. The plastic material used was purely virgin, HIGHLY UV stabilized and transparent. The plastic gutters were installed in greenhouses in Gujarat and tested for one complete year. It was observed that the plastic gutter having width 600 mm and a thickness of 1.4 mm is having good strength to withstand heavy rain intensity of Surat, Gujarat. These gutters are installed three years back and found excellent in terms of quality and desired outputs. Theoretically, the life of the gutter is 10 to 15 years as proportioned with 4 years of 200 micron covering film, however, for safety concerns the company is guaranteeing the life of 5 years. As on today, such plastic gutters are installed on more than 100 acres in Gujarat, Maharashtra, M. P, Haryana, Kerala etc. Some snaps of such plastic gutters along with its techno commercial comparison is given below for your kind information
