Like a flying carpet from the nance tale of 1000 and 1 nights , the Roofmaster roof automatic washer ' flies ' between the glasshouse . With this cap automatic washer , or greenhouse deck cleaner from Heerhugowaard , cultivator have been scavenge their roofs and gutters since its introduction thirty days ago .
The machine propel over the roof with rotating brush and then uses a platform to get to the next vizor . Or to another nursery . Manufacturer Besseling Techniek has developed a singular construct for this , which will soon be on display in China . Jorien Schouten - Plak explains .
Crossing platform"Although every platform is unique , there are situation that call for a second of supernumerary customization and work from the engineers . As companies seek to make the good possible use of the reason , there is sometimes very little space left between the greenhouses . In that suit , the platform may not be able to move past each other , or an investment funds in two systems is plainly too much to ask . "
For this , the railroad engineer at Besseling Techniek came up with a crossing platform . " Some customers call it a ' hover political platform ' because , with a short imagination , it take care a moment like a flying rug flying between greenhouses . The platform is connected to the two top runway and thus semivowel with the automobile onboard , along the facade . "
The advantage for the customer are obvious : with a individual installment , both greenhouse are washed , a machine with a platform does not have to be move from one glasshouse to the other , and there are also savings because there are no duplicate items to be purchase .
ImprovementThe first variant of this character of political program were installed in the 1990s and were then still equipped with a little scissor elevator on the platform , with which the auto was uprise and turned in parliamentary procedure to be capable to move frontwards again . This is not always possible due to lack of space or because lifting a 500 - 600 kilogram car at the acme of 5 - 7 meters is capable to many base hit regulations . That is why the designers got back to the drawing tabular array and created a modern and safe solvent .
The ' one-time ' version of the crossing platform
By equipping the machine with so - called mirror software , the Roofmaster can wash away the opposite greenhouse without being turned around . " After all , frontward becomes reverse and frailty versa . This has result in a safe and above all effective way of life of working that has bear witness itself already . "
novel and ' old ' side by side
To ChinaDozens of such Roofmaster installation have ground their way to growers , include well - known names of Dutch agriculturalist such as Agro Care ( Middenmeer and Tunisia ) and Hoogweg Paprika Nurseries ( Luttelgeest and Marknesse ) , Van Gennip , Red Harvest , Kwekerij Andijk and Tas Paprika . " Many other grower at home and abroad have been able to experience the add up value of the crossing organisation . "
Recently , Besseling Techniek signed an agreement with Chinese glasshouse builder Kingpeng for the delivery of three Roofmaster crossing installation in northerly China . " Because we as Besseling Techniek have the ISO 9001 certificate , give a three - year warranty on the installation and have a local team quick for the installation , the builder expressed their self-confidence in us . The good room of workings , meld with efficient washing and a price - saving on the entire task compared to the usual platforms , were reasonableness to buy the installations , which are still unequaled to China . "
The Roofmasters will enchant cultivator with this innovative means of workings , Jorien is sure . " After all , it is similar to the flying carpet from the fairy tale with 1000 and 1 nights . This time , however , not a fag narration , but reality from North Holland filth . “For more information : Jorien Plak - SchoutenBesseling Techniek+31 6 14 72 06 93[email protected]www.besselingtechniek.nl
