Surface Coating saves labor and keeps machines cleaner
Added on 12 June 2023
Less dirt adhesion
Machines in greenhouses get quite dirty during the growing season. In particular, this involves the adhesion of plant juices when the machines pass between the crop during crop operations such as threshing and turning. "When a machine is provided with Surface Coating, a smooth layer forms on the frame, to which dirt is less likely to adhere. This prevents the spread of plant juices through the machines. It also promotes overall greenhouse hygiene and benefits cultivation," says Steven Timmers, Product Manager Berg Hortimotive.
Cleaning a piece of cake
Moreover, the coating makes cleaning the machine easier and faster, which also saves a nice amount of time. "Cleaning the coated machines with the right detergent is a piece of cake. You hardly need to apply force and the high-pressure sprayer is completely out of the question," says Timmers.
Extensively tested in practice
The unique Surface Coating has been extensively tested with growers in practice and the results are promising. Berg Hortimotive is currently the only one in the sector to offer this Surface Coating as an option on part of its portfolio. Bas Brinkman, Technical Director Berg Hortimotive: "We are pleased to be able to offer Surface Coating as an option and hope to further unburden growers in this way and get the most out of their operations."
Option on pipe rail trolleys, spraying robots and the Plantalyzer®
For now, Surface Coating is available as an option on BeNomic pipe rail trolleys (Star series, Star PRO series), BeMatic spraying robots (Meto SW, Meto SWT and EasySpray) and the Plantalyzer.
