Suitable foil systems in Gelderland

FruitSecurity Holland, based in Ede in the Dutch province of Gelderland, specializes in harvest security through harvest protection. As a Dutch company we are of course familiar with the changing weather and the great challenge for the arable farming and horticulture sectors in the Netherlands to protect their crops. Especially fruit cultivation is vulnerable to changing weather conditions: too little or too much rain, too much wind, too little or too much sun in the wrong places. FruitSecurity Holland has developed various types of tunnel film and greenhouse film to control or influence the climate around crops.

Anti-rain system for good control

The latest innovation in the field of rain caps is the Anti-rain system. Specially developed for fruit cultivation for good control and dosage of rainwater. 

The system is easy to open and close, allowing you to choose to close your system several times a year for frost, for example. The anti-rain net is very tightly woven so that it looks like film and stops 90% of the rain. It does not let rain directly through but produces a fine mist so the crop remains moist. The anti-rain system has good ventilation, is wind resistant and flexible through the use of elastic, and ensures that the wind can get out of the system. Direct sunlight is refracted and provides better light distribution. Warm air draws well away from under the anti-rain net. With a solid anchorage, available for any type of soil, the system stands like a house. The anti-rain net is easy to roll up and store.

Powerflex foil Systeem

This system falls under the category of rain hood and was specially developed for growing cherries, and later further developed for growing raspberries, blueberries, redcurrants and blackberries, the domain of fruit growers in the Betuwe, Gelderland. The system is easy to open and close, especially important if you want to keep the frost out. Rainwater is collected and drained via a gutter. This system also has excellent anchoring and is wind resistant. The film has good light diffusion and prevents sunburn on the crop.
