Kube-Pak, Incorporated,
has long been a respected grower – they
practically invented the plug industry – and
are noted for many innovations and support
of groundbreaking industry developments
like floor heating and double poly greenhouses.

 Company President, Bill Swanekamp, is also
widely known and respected for his presentation
skills and business acumen. He has presided
over sweeping changes in the company and its
facilities. Mr. Swanekamp is very attuned to
the economic heartbeat of his company….mostly
by doing the work of knowing his costs and
managing them with appropriate solutions.
One such solution has been to specify Starfin
for top heat in new greenhouses. Traditionally,
Kube-Pak has installed four 2” pipes
in each of the 21’ wide greenhouse bays,
but with Starfin,
they now only need to install three pipes.
“Starfin puts out more heat than bare pipes,
so we were able to reduce the number of lines
overhead in a house. The benefits are that
we have less labor to install the top heat
as there
is no welding needed, there is less weight
to support overhead, and we have reduced
shadowing down on our crop.” says Mr.
Swanekamp.
Other benefits of Starfin include not needing
to do maintenance painting of the pipes and
reduced water volume in the heating system.
Starfin heat-pipes from TrueLeaf Technologies
deliver efficient heat quickly and install
fast
and are easy to maintain. It makes the cut
at Kube-Pak, and that says a lot. |
