'Revolution in handling cut flowers'

"The Bercomex grading and bunching machine signifies a revolution in the handling of cut flowers. We have worked on this innovation for ten years with our partners, invested millions in it and have succeeded in developing a machine that singles flowers from the greenhouse fully automatically, sorts them in accordance with the required specification and gathers them together again.

Sleeving, fully automatic taping and the addition of a sachet of Chrysal flower food can also be integrated into the system," states Roland Kroese, the managing director of Bercomex (stand 01.0424). The bunching machine has a modular construction for practically every variety of cut flower, handles 4 stems per second in practice and will be receiving its new name on the first day of the Horti Fair. "We supplied 10,000 systems worldwide in thirty years with its predecessor. The generic bunching machine is a huge leap forward with the integration of new technologies, digitalization and robotics. And it also maintains product quality and uniformity more effectively, besides realizing savings on labour costs,’’ says Kroese.
