Have you ever wondered how to automate the sleeving of small batches of potted plants without breaking the bank? Look no further! We are delighted to share a preview of a groundbreaking innovation: the "Smart Sleever". Developed by the robotics experts at Bosman Van Zaal – formerly known as Crea-Tech – this advanced unit promises to revolutionise the automated sleeving of potted plants. We are proud to share this innovation with you.
The Challenge of Small Batches
Within horticulture, volumes are increasing whilst batch sizes are decreasing. It is precisely these small batches that prove difficult to automate, often resulting in continued manual processing. This drives up the cost of small batches. The Smart Sleever addresses this challenge by seamlessly and carefully placing plants into protective sleeves. It is compact, easy to integrate, and remarkably cost-effective.
Why the Smart Sleever is So Clever
Designed to meet the needs of growers seeking to improve the presentation and protection of potted plants without the labour-intensive process, the Smart Sleever offers a range of innovative features:
- Gentle and Precise: The Smart Sleever effortlessly and delicately places plants into sleeves, guaranteeing a smooth and damage-free process – a contrast to traditional methods that may abruptly drop the plant.
- Material Versatility: Able to handle both paper and plastic sleeves, the Smart Sleever gives you the flexibility to choose the most suitable material for your needs.
- Flexible Settings for Efficiency: Adapting to various batch sizes, the Smart Sleever's flexible settings ensure the efficient processing of smaller batches.
- Seamless Integration: The Smart Sleever integrates seamlessly into existing packaging processes, allowing for a smooth transition and effortless adoption.
- Compact and Cost-Effective: Ideal for sleeving plants or batches requiring a gentler, more flexible approach, the Smart Sleever sets a new standard in precision and efficiency.
