Flower bulb
drying
Optimum product quality is the result of
the care and attention given during every production phase.
Consequently, flower-bulb growers are paying more and more attention
to drying and storage technologies. Agratechniek offers ventilation
facilities for any situation. Thanks to our practical experience and
thorough knowledge of the product, you are provided with both
technical and economic solutions that are made-to-measure. Such
issues as product types, harvest volumes, methods of cleaning and
stages of drying form the basis for this. Each facet is continuously
evaluated separately and within the context of the whole system -
you will always have the best
solution.
Agratechniek offers
all different types of ventilation
systems.
Evenness is the characteristic of
optimal ventilation. This evenness is realized by means of the
effective 1-layer air-distribution system. It works according
to a logical principle.
The bulb boxes and their pallets
are neatly aligned to the air-distribution system and to one
another. This means the air escaping from the system can only
travel in one direction: upward. The special pallet and base
construction means that every box has its own large-capacity
outlet - this enables the air to escape evenly.

Efficient ventilation of
flowerbulbs demands an efficient ventilation system.
Moreover, the ventilation boxes must be easy to manage and
durable. The 2-layer air-distribution system meets these
criteria. It operates according to a logical
principle.
When an even number of bulb boxes are
stacked on top of each other in front of the air-distribution
system, the air is blown in for every two layers of boxes. Via
the pallets of every even layer of boxes, the air is
constantly distributed over 2 layers of boxes. (i.e. the 1st
and 2nd layers of boxes, the 3rd and 4th layers of boxes, and
possibly also the 5th and 6th layers of boxes.) The air
escapes via the pallets of the uneven layers of boxes as well
as at the top. (Special attachments are used to safeguard
efficient air distribution.) The diagram clearly illustrates
this.

There is no
good ventilation without the control of air-flows. Hatches and
their operation play an important role in the dosage of fresh
and exhaust air. Strict technical criteria are often set for
the operation of hatches. Agratechniek develops and
manufactures durable hatches, right through to
perfection.

Ventilators
Ventilator technology
is indispensable for drying and conditioning agricultural products.
Axial ventilators are put to frequent use here. Characteristic
of axial ventilators is that the air flows in the longitudinal
direction of the shaft of the ventilator motor. Environmental
legislation plays an increasingly important role in drying and
conditioning agricultural products and ventilation technology.
Noise-reduction measures often lead to a choise for the noiseless
centrifugal vantilator.

motor and an impeller. Many factors play a role in determining
the correct axial ventilator for your specific situation - the
people at Agratechniek are pleased to
provide you with sound
advice regarding this.

Centrifugal
ventilators
Environmental legislation plays an
increasingly important role in drying and conditioning
agricultural products as flowerbulbs and ventilation
technology. Noise-reduction measures often lead to a choice
for the noiseless centrifugal ventilator. In the centrifugal
ventilator, the direction in which the air is drawn in and the
direction in which it is blown out are at right angles. The
rotational speed of the motor and the pulley ratio determine
the rotational speed of the impeller vane. Many factors play a
role in determining the correct centrifugal ventilator for
your particular situation - the people at Agratechniek are
pleased to provide you with sound advice. They can talk from
experience.

Heating
Drying of flower bulbs can
also be done by heating. Some companies still use oil-fuelled
heaters; their temperature control (on/off) restricts their
deployability. This is one reason why interest in easily
uncontrollable gas-fuelled air heaters has increased considerably.
Advanced, reliable and economically responsible temperature control
is guaranteed by a hot-water element with a central-heating
installation.
Agratechniek offers different
types of heating.
Central heating installations
Optimum drying of agricultural products such as
flowerbulbs demands heating. Heating installations are
also required to control the temperature in the drying and
storage process. Agriculturists are increasingly finding that
the deployment of accurately controllable and advanced heating
installations results in improved yields. A central heating
installation running on hot water offers the best possible way
to control your system and is furthermore a clean method of
heating it.

Heating is indispensable for drying agricultural
products in the best possible way. Increasing the
product
temperature and combating the effects of frost are also
inconceivable without effective
temperature regulation.
Increasing numbers of agriculturists have found that the
deployment of advanced heating installations results in
improved yields. In many situations, oil and gas-fired
air-heaters are practical and economic sources of
heat.

Heating
Agratechniek offers perfect
systems for achieving the required balance between temperature,
relative humidity and ventilation. A simple system is sometimes
sufficient, although a more advanced installation is often
advisable. We purchase components such as thermostats, automatic
moisture metres, time switches and (climate) computers from
reputable manufacturers. We develop customized operating
software. Some of the systems that Agratechniek had
developed on the basis of practical experience
include:
Beside the drying of bulbs
Agratechniek is also specialized in drying of seed and
grains.
