new developments

Van Krimpen is always busy thinking of and realising new products. We often develop new products in close cooperation/ conslutation with our customers.

Square 18 x 18 cm pot with label slot

By special request of 2 bigger customers and in close cooperation with them, Van Krimpen has developed a new product for potting fruit trees. The square 18 x 18 cm pot holds 4 label slots to be able to have a neat, efficient presentation by using a nice colourful label.

 
The size of 18 x 18 cm in combination with the height of 21 cm has been chosen to reach a 5 liter volume AND to achieve an optimum loading on a CC layer of 21 pots. Next to that it has been a goal during development to be able to have a neat, efficient display of the pot. Next to fruit trees the produkt is suitable for many other different applications. For instance we're thinking of Conifers, Roses, peonies, perennials and shrubs.

 

Pot 11 cm 8°

We have recently added an 11cm 8° pot to our existing delivery program. The 11cm was a potsize we didn't have in our program untill now. The 11cm 8° pot is another member of the well known Van Krimpen LW series.
The LW series are known for their plastic saving rib, which gives the pot extra sturdyness, and their excellent draining bottom. On top of that the pot has been reïnforced on the topside which provides smooth running when you're working with a potting machine.

 

 

New type orchid protective collar; the hexagon collar.

A well known problem during propagation of orchids are roots growing from a pot to another pot. The protective collar (placed on top of the pot closely after propagation) solves this problem.By using the protective collar, your orchids are protected during the complete marketing chain untill they reach the customer. Please click here for more information.

The orchid protective collar is currently available in 7 different sizes/ types.

All different sizes/ types of collars are currently already being used fully automated. You can find some examples of the automated proces of collarisation and de-collarisation under "films" on our website.

The hexagon collar has been developed especially to prevent spikes to go circling in the pot. To achieve this, ribs have been placed on the inside of the collar which guide the spikes upwards. The hexagon collar can be placed onto the breeding table in a honingcumb position, providing optimum usages of available space.

 

New 6 pack tray for square AND round 9 cm pots

A lot of different 6 pack trays were available on the market already for square and round 9 cm pots. Van Krimpen anyhow got the request to develop a new, better version which could hold both square and round 9 cm pots. We have achieved this by using PET material instead of the usual polystyreen material.


the biggest advantage of PET in comparison to PS is that it doesn't burst/ tears as easily and the material has less sharp edges. This way the customers for whom we have developed the product can guarantee their customers that the carrying handle won't be cut and maintains it's proper position.

The edges of every cavity are beveled, which makes it easier to put the pots into the tray. Outer size of the tray is 276 mm x 179 mm, a little smaller than simular already existing trays, but this makes it convenient and more efficient to place the trays onto standard breeding- and selling tables.
