More about Solar Heating

Bunnik Bromelia

Previously, work in the nursery was physically demanding and the robots relieve a lot and take over the heavy work

Complete Automation Process

At Bunnik Bromelia, Bromelia grower from the Netherlands, we installed the complete automation process. As well as heating and cooling.

The logistical system includes rolling containers and conveyor belts, a potting and spacing robot, two picking and placing robots, a tray destacker, and an automated Danish cart line with (un)loading robot.

Tray Destacker

The tray destacker helps the automation process. Multiple stacks of trays can be placed on a conveyor, so that the destacker can work without an operator for a long period of time. The stacks are loaded into the destacker automatically when the previous stack is empty.

The stack is lifted, and the trays are grabbed one by one. And then brought down (not dropped) all the way, to ensure they position correctly on the conveyor. With the tray destacker, 1 fte is saved and it has a return on investment of just 4 months.

Pick and Place Robot

Bromelia and Guzmania, named after monocot flowering plants, are designed to handle these kinds of situations because of their controlled handling to avoid damage. No challenge is too big for this dynamic duo. With arms stretching twice their height, they are able to take on jobs that would be out of most’s reach.

In order to maximise output, they sometimes like the speed up the process on the assembly line. Unlike most heavy-duty machines, their unique build allows them to be quick and precise with minimal error. In a synchronized fashion, the duo works together to fill a full tray of six plants in only a few seconds.

Bunnik Bromelia

Bunnik Bromelia, part of Bromelia Specialist, breeds aechmea, pineapple, guzmania and vriesea plants in Kudelstaart and De Kwakel, the Netherlands, since 1971.

They produce one of the most colourful plants, in a sustainable and innovative way. 20,000 plants are processed daily.

From Vision to Solution

Based on intensive customer contact, we work on integrated solutions. Solutions that utilise labour, time, raw materials, and space as efficiently as possible. At Bosman Van Zaal, product development and realisation are performed in-house by our own multi-disciplinary teams. Our step-by-step approach starts with your vision and ends with our technical solution with lifelong service. 

1. Define

What are your wishes and challenges, and what do you define as optimal cultivation and maximum yields? Our multidisciplinary solution team starts by listening and will propose technical installations.

2. Engineer

The final proposal is then translated into smart, inventive, and practical designs by our own team of engineers. We base this on our many years of experience and use the latest technology and insights.
