Adequate extraction in processing area prevents itching

Adequate exhaust ventilation in the processing area of cut hyacinths first of all prevents employees from inhaling particulate matter. In addition, it is common knowledge that the bulb skin (and the juice) of the hyacinth cause itching. Incidentally, this does depend on the sensitivity of the person and duration of exposure. But did you know that you can also eliminate this with suction?

Family business De Wit & Zn. in Lisse certainly does. They are specialists in producing and delivering top quality cut hyacinths. And they are engaged in the sale of daffodil and hyacinth bulbs.

Canopy sorting line

The new cyclone installation we installed for dust and sheet extraction, in combination with the new processing line, ensures that they can deliver a high-quality end product. Because in addition to extracting hyacinth dust, among other things, removing loose sheets is important for the appearance and quality of the product.

During the production process, fine dust is also generated in the processing area due to the tilting of crates. But also during the transition from belt to belt and the movement of the product on the sorter. By covering the entire flower bulb processing line with a so-called dust tent, and connecting it to the extraction system, we prevent the spread of dust and reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.

Combined with the suction hoods, which are installed at the end of the conveyors and the beginning of the sorting machine, a clean working environment and first-class end product has been achieved.
