The Hoogstraten Research Center studies show that UV-C light, administered via a UV robot, can control mildew well. To ensure this application becomes available in practice, Coöperatie Hoogstraten invested in a few demo robots.
After careful market research, they chose the Qii-Drive Shif t UV-C from Bogaerts Greenhouse Logistics two years ago. This fully autonomous robot precisely applies the UV-C recipe.
Bogaerts, too, is well-pleased with this news. "Firstly, credit where credit is due. The Hoogstraten Research Center found the key to success, thanks to their years of research into combatting mildew. In that, we're partly the lucky ones who were approached to develop an autonomous platform with which the treatment could be accurately administered," says Mattijs Van Loon.

The S55 is a spray robot with batteries, made for automatic spraying. The spray robot uses the pipe rail system to move through the greenhouse. The robot is only 30 cm wide (excl. wheels), 170 cm high and weighs only 150 kg.

Micothon therefore developed a special extra narrow sprayer. It has a unique transport guide that keeps the machine neatly in the guide track of the floor.
The entire machine is built to drive through a path only 35 cm wide. The Flamingo is lightweight, but it is extremely stable with a strong frame and stainless steel sheet metal. The boom has a total width of 8 meters, wide enough to treat the entire bay in one pass. For an even delivery of spraying liquid over the entire width we use special three-way nozzles.
Operation:
The machine operator simply places the machine in the centerline of the bay, starts the machine via the PLC-controlled touchscreen and sends it into the bay. The machine travels to the end of the bay, starts spraying on the way back and stops automatically at the transport cart.
