Pepper handling system (buffer)

The pepper handling system is a system that is used to automate the weighing, packaging and transporting of peppers.

There are different degrees of automation: The automation can start in the greenhouse, or it can start in the packing hall.

• Fully automated: the harvesting carts drive automatically to and from the pepper handling system, guided by an induction course.
  • If the Qii-Drive Pepper is used; the pepper handling system consists of a pepper intake and buffer line.
  • If a Power Bee is used to pull Bo Cart harvesting carts with container; the pepper handling system consists of a pepper intake line.
• Semi-automated: You can also use a pepper handling unit in combination with a hand-operated Power Bee which pulls Bo Cart harvesting carts with container. In this case, the system consists of a pepper intake line.

A pepper handling system is modular, always custom made: depending on the needs/desires of the customer and the available space in the packing hall. Together with the customer, Bogaerts greenhouse logistics always finds the best solution.

Buffer system

The buffer system stores full and empty containers in 4 layers. The advantage of working with a buffer system is that it shortens the duration of sorting and you can work more efficient. The crop is always available, and you can decide when there should be sorted. Different colours of sweet peppers can be harvested at the same time and stored in a separate layer in the buffer system.

Container tipper

When the Qii-Drive reaches the pepper handling system, the container tipper carefully empties the Qii-Drives’ container onto a conveyor belt.
