Coming into effect from 1 July , the HDG Survey Group , has acquired Otflow .

Otflow is a patented floor - cover that aims to ensure optimal internal airflow in stick container during overseas transport . The engineering was machinate by HDG proprietor and founder Otto de Groot , in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research . The technology was devised to get undecomposed air distribution in a container . After extensive examination by WUR , it was found to improve airflow by 30 % . Especially at the doors of refrigerate containers , the risk of too hot yield is a trouble that lead to equipment casualty . With the Otflow floor - cover , this is prevented .
" Better melodic phrase distribution is of import for temperature - sensitive products like fruit . In a refrigerated container , air circulation is not always optimal . And if the frigid temperature is not the same everywhere , this hail at the expense of ledge - life and ultimately Cartesian product quality . With our group , we collect an unbelievable amount of data point regarding arrival quality and damage containers throughout the moth-eaten chain . This data highlight the importance of using Otflow in container . That is why it is so great that we now not only identify quality exit , but also have products under our own control to preclude damage claim , " says world-wide coach Leander van Bellen .
Reducing food waste"We help companies take on their sustainability efforts by boil down food waste and CO2 emission , but also maintain the quality of the products transported , which immediately leads to few claims and financial personnel casualty , " Leander say . " The mats are sustainably made from remnants and old promotion from the food industriousness and are also fully recyclable after use , or sustainability at its good . "
Fruit exporters in South Africa and South America , India and Mexico are currently the biggest drug user of the Otflow floor shroud . " But we are also see increase interest from European importers buy them for their oversea supplier , " says Leander . Regular users admit The Grape Company , Frusan and The Greenery . The Otflow ’s software admit raw products such as blueberry , cherry , mangoes , avocado and stone fruit . " But in principle , the Otflow can be used for all palletised lading in reefer container . This is also how we have already achieved good results in the flower and bulb manufacture . "
" Due to the increasing demand for our production , we have increased our volumes , which has allowed us to reduce our prices . However , we are still do work on making Otflow more affordable so that we can put up even more to realize the yield sector more sustainable , " Leander said . He sees many synergy benefits in the accomplishment . " With our team of over 70 workfellow , we offer a comprehensive package of quality services . Where antecedently the focus was on caliber inspections , we can now also really contribute through training ( HDG Academy ) , package ( AgriSoftware ) and technology ( Otflow ) to further improve quality in the string .
