CDS popular in North America

More and more American greenhouse growers are discovering our Cart Disinfection Station. From tomato growers, pepper growers to cannabis growers. The CDS is ideal in large horticultural greenhouses. By having the carts disinfected by the CDS, the spread of viruses and bacteria are limited and the other parts of the greenhouse remain protected.

In the coming weeks, three CDS’s will be transported to Ontario in Canada, and to North Carolina and Georgia in the United States.

Ready for the future

The impending ban on the CIPC sprout inhibitor has caused a landslide in the potato industry. There are three new agents on the market for the coming season. The new generation of sprout inhibitors cannot safely be fogged with the current foggers. That is why we have designed the ultramodern Synofog. In addition to being able to fog all new agents, it also has several other new techniques under the hood that make it stand out from the competition. The Synofog can be operated via a touchscreen panel or optionally even remotely via your own smartphone. The Synofog is an electrothermal fogger without an open flame, and is therefore much safer to use than its alternatives.

Many growers are already convinced of the Synofog’s power. This week, these Synofogs will go to their new owners all over Europe.

Are you ready to get started with the Synofog? Please contact us for the possiblities. Please note: Due to the high demand, we have a waiting list for the Synofog.

Summer holiday party

After all the hard work of the last months, to help our customers safely through the corona period, the summer holiday party was more than deserved. The party started with a beer tasting contest, in which many reputations were bruised … Stef and Jean-Paul may call themselves ‘master tasters’, congratulations to both!

Although we will operate at a lower staff occupation, our company will be opened as normal during the holiday period. We wish you a wonderful summer holiday!

#FlowerBoostChallenge

Roam Technology has nominated us for the #FlowerBoostChallenge. This challenge is an initiative to support growers in these tough times. That’s why we ordered beautiful hydrangeas at Kwekerij Stals. We give these as gifts to our staff. We nominated the following companies to take on the challenge: PulsFOG Dr. Stahl & Sohn GmbH, Mertens and Berdex.

Seven Pulsfogs for French chateau

Some weeks ago we received seven trailers from Van Gog aanhangwagens. Today, we finished mounting seven Pulsfog on them. They will soon be on their way to wine producer Château de Sours in Bordeaux!

They will be put to use to protect the budding grape vines against night frost. This will have a significant impact on harvest loss.

Open Days were a great succes

We would like to thank every visitor of our open days for their presence and presents. We received a lot of positive reactions and we had a great time ourselves. Spread over 2 days we hosted 600 guests from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and even from Russia and Israel.

We hope to see you soon at our company!

Two Cart Disinfection Stations for HEXO Canada

Both of these Cart Disinfection Stations are on their way to HEXO Corp in Gatineau, Canada. They are a big player in the Canadian cannabis cultivation horticulture industry and they are very keen on a polution free grow environment. The Cart Disinfection Stations ensure that every cart that enters and leaves the greenhouses is free of harmful bacteria and viruses.

Surprise party for owners Frans Veugen Bedrijfshygiëne

Recently we had a surprise party to celebrate our move into the new building. The owners were lured out of the building using a ruse, while family, staff and friends gathered in the new building. Then we celebrated with champagne, gifts and dinner in a restaurant. The local news agency was at the scene to capture pictures.
