Description
BCC FiberCell-96 is a holder for FiberCell units with a Ø35 mm diameter. It uses the same external dimensions as the BCC Insert Frame 96 tray so the holder integrates into logistic systems built around this configuration. The holder is injection-moulded from UV-stabilised polypropylene (PP) using an advanced mould with more than 30 individually controlled injection points to ensure even filling, reduced internal stress, improved surface finish and extended service life.

Design and performance
The holder features rounded edges and corners for comfortable handling and durability. Its geometry is optimised to support strong, healthy plants by promoting a vital root system; the interaction between the FiberCell material and the holder is critical for producing a high-quality root plug. The smooth surface simplifies cleaning and maintenance.

Key design features

• Promotes development of dense root biomass
• Encourages maximum lateral root formation
• Effective air-pruning to prevent root circling
• Adequate drainage from each cell

General specifications

• Large bottom drainage hole per cell
• Ribs in the top section to support FiberCell and ensure a snug fit for automated production
• Tapered tray and cavities to allow 55 mm stacking height for efficient transport
• Same footprint as BCC Insert Frame 96 tray for compatibility with existing logistics
• Large ventilation areas along sides and top to optimise air pruning and avoid root bridging
• Protected sidewalls to reduce evaporation and drying out
• 90 mm holder height to minimise exposure of the top of the FiberCell
