Nurseries for cut flowers, bulb flowers, and potted plants continue to increase in size. As a result, the need for extensive automation and mechanisation is also growing steadily. The cultivation systems that are used require less and less manpower and operate with computer-controlled conveyor belts. Conveyor belts are also widely used during planting, harvesting and preparing for transport.
When flowers and plants have achieved the right degree of maturity, they have to be harvested and forwarded quickly. As a result of mechanisation and automation, more plants and flowers are processed by fewer and fewer people. Breakdown of a conveyor belt can then have enormous consequences.
Bandtransport Europe supplies every conveyor belt for use in flower farms and plant nurseries. We offer conveyor belts for planting or potting, which prevent the penetration of moisture and soil, thus optimising their performance under these circumstances. Conveyor belts used in greenhouses are manufactured from raw materials that withstand sunlight and heat, as well as moisture and soil. Besides, conveyor belts are used at high or low speeds, for shifting sideways and for frequent start-stops. The use of sensors, scanners, and sorting systems is also on the increase, just like optical customizations of the conveyor belt, which can include built-in coloured bands or stripes for the correct positioning of cut flowers. Bandtransport Europe has the expertise to manufacture all these conveyor belts for you.
The possibilities are almost endless at Bandtransport Europe. Of course, we supply standard flat conveyor belts; you will find a selection of the suitable conveyor belts at the bottom of this page. In addition, we can fit your conveyor belt with cleats, guide ropes, sidewalls or Fabseal® sealed edges. Special conveyor belts, including triangle belts, sponge belts, and belts with pillow cleats can be made to your exact specifications.
On this page, you will find a number of belt types that are suitable for use in flower farms and plant nurseries. Click on a type code for additional information. Can’t you find what you are looking for? Please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to assist you.
