Why PKY-FG501

This unit is built for commercial nutrient preparation — not a low-cost Venturi add-on. Five dosing channels, a 200 L premix tank and process EC/pH measurement support repeatable recipes across greenhouse and substrate projects.

  • Five independent fertilizer channels for multi-stock recipes
  • 200 L premix tank for stable nutrient preparation
  • Pre-mixing and post-mixing EC/pH measurement points for process control
  • 16 programs and 8 recipes for repeatable fertigation schedules
  • Optional wired or wireless irrigation-zone expansion

Before-and-after EC/pH measurement

The first EC/pH measurement point records the incoming water condition before fertilizer mixing. The second measurement point checks the mixed nutrient solution. The controller uses both process points together with recipe, ratio and target settings to adjust nutrient preparation.

  • Pre-mixing point: source water or water entering the mixing process
  • Post-mixing point: nutrient solution after premix preparation
  • Online adjustment against recipe, ratio and target EC/pH
  • Not described as redundant, backup or fault-tolerance sensors

Before-and-after EC/pH measurement

Premix fertigation process

Source water is measured, fertilizers are dosed into the 200 L premix tank, the mixed solution is measured again, and the controller adjusts preparation before sending nutrient solution to the irrigation mainline and zones.

  • Source water enters the unit
  • Pre-mixing EC/pH measurement
  • Five fertilizer channels dose into the premix process
  • 200 L PP premix tank
  • Post-mixing EC/pH measurement
  • Online adjustment to recipe targets
  • Irrigation mainline and zone delivery

Frequently asked questions

Why are EC and pH measured before and after mixing?
The pre-mixing point records incoming water condition. The post-mixing point checks the prepared nutrient solution. The controller uses both process measurements with recipe, ratio and target settings to adjust nutrient preparation. This is process control, not redundant or backup sensing.
Are five fertilizer stock tanks included?
No. The standard unit includes five dosing channels and the 200 L premix tank. Fertilizer stock tanks are supplied by the local partner or ordered as confirmed options.
Does the standard unit include 128 valve outputs?
No. Up to 128 solenoid-valve control points is an optional wired-bus configuration when the required decoders and system hardware are included. Wireless expansion needs compatible wireless valve controllers.
Can the system run without internet?
Yes. Local programs continue without internet. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 4G are optional gateways selected after site network and maintenance responsibility are confirmed.
Who supplies the 4G SIM card?
The local customer or partner normally provides the SIM and data plan. PKYDrip does not include a global data plan with the standard unit.
Can recipes be copied between greenhouse zones?
Recipes and programs are managed on the local controller. Zone grouping and rotation can be configured for multi-zone projects. Exact recipe-copy workflows depend on the confirmed software configuration.
What filtration is required?
Suitable water filtration is required and remains local partner or customer scope unless included in a confirmed package. Sites without adequate filtration are not a good fit for this unit.
What information is needed before quotation?
Company and country, customer type, crop and growing method, greenhouse or irrigation area, required flow and pressure, number of irrigation zones, preferred standard configuration, water-analysis availability, and existing pumps, filters and electrical cabinet.

PKY-FG501 is the global-standard five-channel premix fertigation unit in the Professional Fertigation family. Existing PKY-FG301 and PKY-FG401 pages remain published and are not redirected.
