How the HydraFiber Processing Unit Can Benefit Your Operation

Take a look at how the Agrinomix HydraFiber Processing Unit (HPU) maximizes grower yields received from highly compressed HydraFiber bales.

HPU Installation

“You’re getting the same thing you’re getting from perlite or vermiculite, but you’re also getting more air porosity, more water-holding capacity, and better plant performance, so it really makes sense to switch to a HydraFiber blend.”

Mike Spitzner

General Manager

Charles Spitzner Nursery, Long Island, New York

“Switching to HydraFiber has been one of the smartest moves we have made in the past few years. It has provided outstanding plant quality, and has also made us analyze our entire soil mixing line which allowed us to update a couple things that were maybe a little out of calibration.”

Bobby Barnitz

Vice President

Bob's Market and Greenhouses, Inc.

“It’s often said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Without change, we won’t get new results, so when we heard about HydraFiber, we knew we had to give it a try.”

Chris McCorkle

Operations Manager

McCorkle Nurseries, Dearing, GA

“HydraFiber has really been a game changer for us not only by reducing the cost on the mix, but the availability of it."

Angelo Petitti

Owner

Petitti Family of Farms, Bedford, OH

"We are using the 365WB HydraFiber material in our mix. The moisture content is about 55%, and the mix holds together like a loose snowball to give us the best 'loft' during filling. It rolls through the mixing line well and fill the pots nicely. Handling the new mix is a little different…but it's working!"
