Tomatohooks with colour sequence twine

New product in the offer – tomatohooks with a colour sequence

As a result of the implementation of a project co-financed by the European Union, our company has introduced an innovative product to its offer:
Winded tomatohooks with the ability to program the twine colour sequence.

New way of winding hooks with Ponytail free-fall make it possible to wind according to the individual colour sequence and customer’s requirements.
Winding sequence can include up to three colours and be repeated in any arrangement, e.g.:

• White / Colour 1 / Colour 2
• White / C1 / C1 / C1 / C2 / C2 / C2 / White / C1 / C1 / C2 / C2 / C2 / C2 / C2 / C2

This solution allows for unambiguous marking of the main and side shoots of plants, as well as other plants in the mat already at the stage of hanging the hooks.

Product innovation

The innovation of the solution consists in:

• integration of the function of marking plants and their shoots,
• ability to adjust the colour sequence to the customer’s cultivation technology,
• eliminating the need for an additional stage of hanging hooks in other colours.

It is a solution that responds to the real needs of greenhouse growers.

Benefits for the user

The use of tomatohooks with a colour sequence allows:

• limiting the number of operations in the greenhouse (no need to hang the hooks again),
• reduction of labor costs and energy consumption, including:
  – operation of electric forklifts,
  – greenhouse lighting,
  – staff involvement,
• optimization of the cultivation process through easy identification of plants,
• increasing production efficiency and potential yield

Impact on energy efficiency

New product solution “tomatohooks with a colour sequence” also contributes to the overall improvement of energy efficiency by:

• reduction of the amount of technological passes in the greenhouse,
• reduction of electricity consumption related to crop service,
• optimization of production processes while maintaining or increasing efficiency.

To sum up, the new model of tomato hook winding with colour sequence is an innovative technological solution, which combines functionality, economy and improvement of work organization in modern greenhouses.
