The Priva Maximizer: Commercial Greenhouse Integrated Environmental Control System
The Priva Maximizer provides commercial greenhouse growers with a total equipment system with the precision and accuracy to control their greenhouse environment based on their individual greenhouse needs. This system provides better yield, disease control, and energy conservation.
The Priva Maximizer is an affordable, easy-to-use integrated control system designed specifically for the greenhouse environment. Greenhouse growers that use Priva Maximizer will enjoy labour savings and peace of mind that their commercial greenhouse environment is totally controlled – from ventilation, heating, cooling, lighting, and irrigation to fertigation.

Why is Priva Maximizer the Best Investment You Could Make?
Experience The greenhouse environment is a very complex and dynamic climate - it heats up and cools down very quickly and changes in humidity are very rapid. The outside conditions such as windspeed & direction, temperature, humidity, light level and rainfall all have dramatic effects on the greenhouse environment. The relationship with your crop is even more complex. Priva has been developing climate control equipment for more than 50 years and their knowledge is distilled in the Maximizer system.- Reliability Maximizers are used in very large glasshouses around the world and reliability is paramount. All sensors and hardware areof the best quality and will last for many years without trouble.
- Economical When you compare the importance of great climate and fertigation control to commercial greenhouse production to the price of the system, the value becomes clear.
- Strong support Although a Maximizer is relatively simple to use, getting the most from it requires support from experienced and trained professionals. Powerplants’s experience and expertise in the commercial greenhouse market insure perfect support of your system.
- Worldwide standard Priva is the world’s largest and most successful climate control manufacturer. With so many growers using Priva systems, sharing intelligence from other commercial greenhouse growers, such as settings, is easy. Most experienced consultants understand and recommend Priva systems to their commercial greenhouse clients because they know they are reliable and will increase productivity.
- Modular design The design of the The Maximizer system makes expansion easy when it’s required. It equipped as standard with one zone (compartment), and can be expanded to control up to four zones per Maximizer. There can be up to nine Maximizers in a network, allowing one Maximizer system to control up to 36.
- PC Connection and Datalogging Software for the PC provides an easy and economical way to control and monitor multiple greenhouse zones from one central location. The menu-driven user interface allows simple control without the user having to learn special codes or commands. Data is logged continuously and graphs can be displayed for both sensor measurements and equipment usage. Other computer terminals can be connected directly to the system.
The Priva Maximizer system Includes the Following Features: - 48 outputs for controlling equipment including 8 analogue outputs. Analogue outputs control greenhouse equipment such as variable speed fans or pumps.
- 20 analogue inputs to connect to sensors eg. temperature, humidity, etc.
- High-speed digital inputs for more accurate measuring of such sensors as water volume.
- Full Climate Control Software suite to control all common greenhouse equipment - you don’t pay extra for control software.
- Reporting of environmental status and historical data.
- Custom control programs.
- Up to 3 alarms per zone for problem notification.- Additional Options - Additional greenhouse equipment control options include but are not limited to: a complete weather station including input for light, wind speed, wind direction, outside temperature, rain, humidity; and other sensors including CO, plant temperature (infra-red), soil moisture, EC, pH etc. - Light can be measured using 3 different sensor types including: global radiation, photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) and visible light. Selection of the light sensor determines the measurement. - Vent position sensors are often also fitted to the greenhouse, which tell the Maximizer if the greenhouse is not functioning properly.
- PC supply Powerplants is a dealer for Hewlett Packard and can offer the entire computer setup, including the PC, printer and even Broadband connection.
The Priva Maximizer system provides a complete equipment package for commercial greenhouse management.
