Automation in horticulture: a sustainable and efficient traywasher for Iribov

Iribov, a leading horticultural company specializing in the production of starting materials for national and international agriculture through tissue culture, is making strides in automation. Michiel van Bennekom, responsible for business development at Iribov, provides insight into the motivations behind the company’s automation efforts. “Tissue culture is a labor-intensive process,” says Michiel. “Hygiene is of great importance to Iribov. Several years ago Iribov made the step to automate. We found a reliable partner in Limex.”

Sustainability and Reuse

One of the key considerations at Iribov is sustainability. Michiel explains, “The plastics we use are an expensive material, and with the possibility of washing them, the possibility of reusing them also arises. And that makes it fit into our business philosophy.”

Efficiency in the Greenhouse

Richard Mooij, greenhouse manager, emphasizes the importance of flexibility in using the implemented cleaning machine. “The machine can be easily adjusted for different tray and crate sizes,” Richard explains. “This allows us to wash various products, making our operations more efficient.”

Reliable Partnership

Bart, Sales Engineer at Limex, highlights the close collaboration with Iribov and the focus on cleanliness. “. Iribov is the company in the highest segment in the field of plant cultivation and propagation. Here, of course, you immediately think of highest possible cleanliness requirements,” says Bart. “The machine is equipped with an automatic cleaning belt filter with the automatic cleaning the belt, for example, residues of agar or potting soil

on a crate can be easily removed.”

Successful Collaboration

The collaboration between Iribov and Limex is characterized by pleasant communication and efficiency. Michiel concludes: “Limex does what they say and says what they do. And in the end, also a fine product that we can do well with.”
