De samenwerking van de bedrijven Joordens en Hoopman heeft al aanknopingspunten uit de vijftiger jaren. De stoppelknol was de aanzet voor Hoopman om de Knollenplukker in productie te nemen en naast de stoppelknol legde Joordens toen al de basis voor wat wereldwijd misschien wel de meest succesvolle voerderbiet is: de ‘Brigadier’!
Om stil te staan bij het 100-jarig bestaan van Joordens Zaden BV overhandigt Jan Willem Hoopman de “lichtgevende Brigadier” aan John Smolenaars

After this treatment, you can place the box in a fast fluid bed dryer to dry back the seeds to the requested absolute moisture.

In order to visually distinguish organic seed and non-chemically treated seed, Bejo has opted for an improved new yellowish colour coating for the organic seed.
This new durable coating consists of natural materials that break down completely. The coating also has a shorter drying time, which benefits the vitality of the seed and saves energy.

For this transition, Bejo has invested in a new production line with two Hoopman e&e coating lines.
The HR350/HR600 coaters have been completely re-designed for durable operation and improved seed to seed distribution of liquids.
Hoopman equipment & engineering has been able to develop and implement this diligent and successful project in very close collaboration with Bejo.

Are you also looking for a State of the Art coating line, where the seed is ready for packaging immediately after treatment?
Contact our sales team! They will be happy to inform you about the various options and all our other Seed Enhancement lines.

1th renewed HR-1000 has been delivered!

In 2008 Dutch Seed Group Int. in Hem started with one HR-600 to deal with their coating production. The last few years their coating production increased which resulted in adding an extra HR-800 in 2016. But as the production kept increasing, they recently bought an renewed HR-1000 to replace their 10 year old HR-600 coater.

HR-800 and HR-1000 on one platform, easy and high capacity box > box filmcoating

This renewed HR-1000 gives Dutch Seed Group Int. the capability to do batches of 100-120L of seeds in 1-2 minutes. One of the newest designs on these HR-1000 is the outlet shape. This new shape has been developed in cooperation with one of our customers and we are currently implementing this on all our Rotary Coating machines. The round shape of the outlet gives less damage to the seeds and ensures smooth emptying of the coating machine.

Do you want to know more about our HR-1000 and/or one of the other sizes? Then please contact us at info@hoopman-equipment.nl
