The Hydroponic Growing Gutter Roll Forming Machine is a self-developed mobile production solution for manufacturing greenhouse hanging gutters and planting troughs directly at the project site. Featuring a compact design and tank-chain traveling system, the machine can operate inside greenhouses, even on soil ground, producing continuous gutter lengths without transportation limitations.
One of the major advantages of using a hydroponic growing gutter roll forming machine is its flexibility to produce various greenhouse hydroponic gutter profiles for different growing systems. From hanging gutters and planting troughs to customized hydroponic growing channels, the machine supports commercial greenhouse production of strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, flowers, berries, cucumbers, peppers, and other fruit and vegetable crops. Here are some of the most common types:

The mobile hydroponic growing gutter roll forming machine is a highly efficient production line designed to manufacture greenhouse hanging gutters, hydroponic planting troughs on site from prepainted galvanized steel coils for greenhouse hydroponic growing system. The self-developed tank-chain traveling system allows the compact forming machine to move directly inside greenhouses, even on soil ground, enabling flexible on-site gutter production.
Customized solutions are available to produce different hydroponic gutter profiles based on customer drawings and greenhouse growing system requirements. MTC provides complete roll forming solutions with optional embossing unit, specialized end-forming tooling, and customized stacking systems to meet the demands of modern hydroponic cultivation.
Our hydroponic growing gutter roll forming machines are widely used for manufacturing greenhouse hanging gutters and planting troughs for hydroponic cultivation of strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, berries, flowers, and other crops used in commercial greenhouse production. The machines serve greenhouse growers worldwide, especially in the Netherlands and Northern Europe for tulip and flower cultivation, as well as Eastern Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle East for commercial fruit and vegetable production.

A Hydroponic Growing Gutter Roll Forming Machine is designed to continuously form metal coils into greenhouse hanging gutters, planting troughs, and other cultivation channels used in commercial greenhouses. The complete line can include decoiling, roll forming, cutting, end forming, and automatic product collection.
Unlike conventional production lines, MTC has developed a compact mobile roll forming system with a self-designed tank-chain traveling structure. The machine can be transported directly into the greenhouse and produce hydroponic planting trough on-site, reducing transportation costs, handling damage, and installation time.
Yes. Thanks to the integrated tank-chain mobile design, the entire hydroponic gutter machine can operate directly on compacted soil inside greenhouse projects without requiring a concrete factory floor. This is especially suitable for large commercial greenhouse construction.
No. One of MTC’s proprietary technologies is endless on-site production. Instead of being limited by transportation length, the machine can continuously manufacture gutters of 30 m, 50 m, 70 m, or even longer according to the greenhouse layout, minimizing field joints and improving installation efficiency.
Yes. MTC’s self-developed quick-change roll tooling design significantly reduces profile changeover time. Customers can efficiently switch between different gutter specifications while maintaining high forming accuracy and production stability.
The machine is suitable for galvanized steel, pre-painted galvanized steel, coated steel, and other corrosion-resistant materials commonly used in commercial greenhouse projects. Material thickness and profile dimensions are customized according to project requirements.
Yes, MTC is capable of manufacturing a full range of customized roll forming machines to match your overall greenhouse project demands. Apart from the growing gutter or hanging gutter roll forming machine for making planting troughs, we can develop and fabricate various greenhouse profiling roll forming machines, including greenhouse frame purlins, side wall profiles, roof rails, film lock profiles, support brackets and other special-shaped metal components required for greenhouse construction.
MTC not only designs and manufactures mobile growing gutter machines, but also brings practical experience from approximately 300,000 meters of greenhouse growing gutter production. Because we understand both machine manufacturing and real greenhouse projects, we can help customers optimize gutter profiles, select suitable materials, improve joint connections, plan production, and solve practical installation challenges. Our goal is to provide a complete production solution rather than simply supplying a machine.
