Standard Series Grow Rooms

Compliance

All PodTronix grow pods are built to meet or exceed the following code requirements:

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 33, 58 and 70
• National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Applicable Exceptions or Amendments Required by Your State and/or Municipality's Regulatory Authorities*

*Note: Your location may be subject to amended (sometimes more restrictive) code requirements. Check with your prevailing Environmental, Fire, and Safety regulatory agencies before you place your order. If modifications are required, we will engineer them directly into your build!

Construction

• All PodTronix Standard Series grow pods are built from durable steel high-cube ISO 'Wind and Water Tight' shipping containers.
• Entry doors are standard industrial steel with internal 'Panic' exit bar and an optional observation window.
• Flooring is high quality Armstrong® Linoleum. Designed for industrial use and heavy foot traffic applications, it's easy to clean and resists contamination.
• Internal walls finished with industrial grade bright white high gloss anti-microbial paint to promote a more hygienic environment.
• Optional 'Clean Room' FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) gloss white R13 insulation wall panels are available upon request.
• All electrical components, lighting, and controls are designed to meet safety requirements based on current national and local jurisdiction codes, subject to change.

Operation

• Energy efficient LED overhead task lighting.
• Exit and battery back up emergency area lighting.
• Standard 120v 60 hz electrical outlets.
• Basic standard electrical control panel.

Your unique solution can be based on any standard container size, 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet (custom size), 40 feet, or anywhere in between. You have the freedom to design a layout that fits your facility perfectly. Unlimited choices give you unlimited possibilities!

The Standard Series is our base model. The Benchmark Series has it's own features, and includes the Standard Series features. The Pro Series also has it's own features, plus the features of the Standard and Benchmark Series. This comparison chart should clarify the features included with each model.

We install high quality Armstrong® linoleum flooring, famous for it’s tough and long lasting surface properties. Made for industrial use and heavy foot traffic, it's long lasting finish is easy to clean, which will help reduce the possibility of contamination due to fungi, spores, or mold. You can choose from a wide selection of patterns (we are partial to the ‘Classic Checker’ pattern. You may have noticed…) and finish types.

How the internal walls are finished is more important than most people realize! We finish internal walls with an industrial strength bright white high gloss paint, but the critical feature of this paint is that it has anti-microbial properties. We also offer an option to finish interior walls with FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic). FRP is ideal for highly sanitized environments. This foam core material is moisture resistant, exhibits high thermal efficiency, and holds up to regular cleaning and sanitization procedures. These options are critical deterrents to fungi, mold, bacteria, spores, and rust which promotes a cleaner, more hygienic environment. This really matters in a laboratory setting.

We provide LED Task lighting, which is quickly becoming the industrial lighting standard, replacing fluorescent bulbs. LED exhibits a dramatically longer service life, provides a cleaner, brighter light, and uses less electricity.

All of our 'Open-Type' environments have full standard electrical runs installed throughout the unit to ensure you have the power you need to run all of your critical components without worry. Custom electrical configurations to meet your requirements can also be engineered and built into your order.

We provide multiple vectors and levels of security features, such as a Trilogy T2 DL2700 digital commercial keyless door latch and a video surveillance ‘RING’ door bell. Options and upgrades include windows with locking ‘Hurricane’ steel covers, internal security gates to sequester and secure inventory, and more. If you have a 3rd party security solution you prefer, we will incorporate that into your pod build.
