Advisory Process »Completed Projects
Angeloff Flowers, Austria
Florian Angeloff Flowers (Orth an der Donau, near Vienna) has been producing tulip flowers for many years in an outdated facility in Klederling. As a valued customer of Triflor, we got in touch with him. To modernize the tulip production, we developed a plan together for a fully automated system (half containers), which can be expanded modularly.
The project consists of Venlo greenhouses with a leg height of 6 meters. In the section with a kinked roof, technical rooms have been planned, as well as the planting area, the rooting cells, and the flower cell.
Since it can get very warm in this area during spring, the flowering area is covered with milky white glass.
Regulations in Austria are very strict and more stringent than in the Netherlands.
For nearly all components, we invited both Dutch and Austrian suppliers. The list of contractors and installers shows that – despite the distance – we are still more than competitive. Only the electrical installation has been outsourced locally.
Gourmet, Grootebroek NL
Gourmet BV cultivates, processes, packages, supplies, and distributes shallots, onions, and garlic for supermarkets and wholesalers both domestically and internationally. Due to the expansion of business activities, two new warehouses of approximately 5,600 m² and 7,300 m² respectively are being constructed. Additionally, a canopy of around 1,100 m² and a staging area for finished products of approximately 800 m² are planned. Technical rooms will be located above this staging area. The 5,600 m² hall was already completed in May 2015. Agrofocus Technology handled the specifications and tendering of the technical installations (cooling, heating, storage walls). Agrofocus Technology is also closely involved in the tendering and execution of the lighting and power installation, as well as process control.
Special features:
Ammonia cooling
Separate storage for organically grown products
LED lighting in cooling cells
Status: Completed
Bloomia, South Africa
Bloomia South Africa has a year-round production of tulips in a greenhouse of about 1300 m2. Before the summer a cooling instalation in the greenhouse was installed. In the South African winter, there were problems with maintaining the proper temperature and relative humidity due to the lack of a heating installation. From the existing suppliers a heating system was proposed, whether based on propane / butane or using electric heating.
Agrofocus designed on the basis of the existing refrigeration system a heat pump system with an air distribution system. During the months that the greenhouse cooling is necessary, the waste heat from the refrigeration system can be used for dehumidification. During the months when heating is required, the refrigeration system operates as a heat pump system. The costs of the modifications to the refrigeration system will be more than compensated by the savings in energy costs.
