Inline Series AFS

Rhythm’s Inline Series AFS is a direction injection system – meaning the system adds nutrients, additives, and pH directly to the flow of water. The Inline Series units use static mixing chambers and numerous sensors, along with fully integrated and dynamically controlled pumping systems, to make real-time adjustments through the delivery process – ensuring more recipe accuracy and consistency. See below to learn why Rhythm’s Inline Series AFS is the industries’ most accurate, capable, and flexible direct injection system.

Why? Rhythm takes traditional fertigation systems a step further by providing more robust and thought out designs, more capable and flexible software, and less maintenance requirements.

Integrated pumping systems

While most systems only open and close valves and require the use of autonomous pumps to move water, Rhythm provides pumps that are dynamically controlled through the use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD).

With Rhythm, pumps only run when they’re required to run, and the system depressurizes when events complete or the system is idle. The pumps ramp up and down to eliminate water hammering at the start and end of events and maintain ideal system pressures and/or flow rates depending on the processes being run. What does this mean for you? Optimization. Along with other benefits like power savings, elimination of mechanical flow/pressure regulators, and more.
2hp, 3hp, or 5hp pumps available as standard
Options for skid-built or floor/wall-mounted units
Fully integrated redundant (2) pump system options available to ensure a single pump issue/failure/service requirement does not stop critical fertigation processes

Nutrient injectors with
‍continuous injection

The Rhythm Inline Series AFS utilizes Grundfos SMART digital dosing pumps to precisely injection nutrients directly into the flow of water. These dosing pumps provide advantages over competitive pumps by utilizing variable-speed stepper motors with internal stroke speed control for smooth, continuous dosing– resulting in more consistency through the delivery process. This, paired with the high turndown ratio of the pumps, allows for more nutrient program compatibility across a wider range of flow rates.
Electrically powered and controlled (no air compressor requirements for dosing)
mL/gallon or percentage (%) based dosing options in the software
Recipe auto-adjustment features to optimize recipe performance

Best-in-class
industrial sensors

Rhythm only uses best-in-class, industrial grade, sensors to manage these critical processes. All sensors are designed to be more reliable, provide the most accurate data, and limit the overall maintenance requirements of the system. Sensors for Flow (GPM), Volume (metered gallons/liters), Pressure(psi), pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Temperature are standard on all units. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) sensor options are available as upgrades.

Day Storage

Eliminate irrigation queues with the Day Storage model. The Rhythm fertigation system prepares “day storage” reservoirs rather than direct feeding plants. With Rhythm’s Day Storage upgrades, these reservoirs come to life in the software for all monitoring, recirculation, and delivery schedules from the reservoirs to the plants. This option is great for facilities where feeding direct queues (one room feeding at a time) can limit the overall irrigation strategies (i.e. not enough time in the day). It’s also great for those facilities deploying crop-steering methodologies.

Standard Day Storage upgrades include controls, level sensors, and flow meters for all reservoirs
Optional upgrades include VFD controlled pumping systems, pH/EC/temp sensors, Rhythm-built schedule 80 PVC riser assemblies and valve manifolds
No restriction on reservoir size (not included). Rhythm will assist in the planning and sizing of all Day Storage reservoirs
