Projects in Arable Farming Sector
Mts. Sturm – van Nieuwenhuizen, Wieringerwerf, Holland
Build of a new storage room for seed potatoes.
Agrofocus made the logistic design, the estimation of costs, the licensing process, specifications and conditions and contract of building components, suction system, cooling installation, light and power station and the process regulation.
Leo Sturm: "After visiting some similar colleague companies, Agrofocus made a plan. The contractor and installer made some very competitive pricings for the specifications and conditions and technical drawings. For the most competitive price we've got an amazing storage facility for boxes. Agrofocus? Always!"
Details: Suction system with concrete walls in relation to sustainability.
Mts. Meurs, Creil, Holland
Build of a new drying hall and cold store for tulips and seed potatoes.
Agrofocus made the logistic design, the estimation of costs, the licensing process, specifications and conditions together with the judgement of offers for the buildings, cooling and heating installation, light and power station and the process regulation.
Stef Meurs: "Thanks to the specifications and conditions and the complete technical drawings there was a minimal additional work involved, both for building and installations. At the control test by Agrofocus, one of the evaporating fans was turning the wrong way. Luckily that fizzled out!"
Details: overhang was done extra acoustic in connection with minimizing noise pollution
Mts. De Graaf – Splinter, Wieringerwerf, Holland
Build of a new storage room (almost 700 m2) for storage of bulk consumption potatoes.
Agrofocus made the logistic design of this project, together with estimation of costs, the licensing process and specifications and conditions. Offers for the buildings were judged, also the underground channels, ventilation system, process regulation and the construction were supervised.
Jacco de Graaf:"With the help of Agrofocus I've got a functional storage room for a competitive price. They gave insight in the differences, which released me of a lot of work. You were a good sparring partner before, during and even after the project."
Vissers Strawberryplants, America
In a new complex 3 big storage cells, 5 flow cells and a traffic space will be build, in order to store strawberry plants. One cold storage is suitable as freezer unit at -20C.
Agrofocus specified the cooling capacity and the air distribution for the above mentioned cells. The right air distribution is tuned on the logistic processes. The temperature variation is minimal. We described the process control and subsequently reviewed the cooling technical quotes. In addition Agrofocus developed the constructional aspects of the cooling cells, in order to minimalize energy losses and guarantee uniform storage conditions.
Leon Vissers: "As a leading supplier of strawberry plants, quality has a high priority. At Agrofocus they know what's needed for that. Due to their expertise we were able to buy a fine cooling installation for a competitive price."
Details: 1 mW ammonium cooling, or 1.000 kW!!
