Airpot U-System
There’s no better start for a tree than in the Airpot U-System. The idea of growing plants in this system, which originated at Volentis, has by now developed into an advanced and efficient growing system. Using this system, we grow our own high-quality reproduction material. . It gives our trees strong and dense root systems, and that is the foundation of the best trees.
Potting machine
To deliver year-round trees, some of the young planting stock is potted. This potting machine takes over this labour-intensive job. The potting machine is developed specifically for this process, saving valuable time and labour.
Robotic mower 'George'
Meet George! Designed by Aigro, this robotic mower works on GPS. In the special app, you enter a mowing plan which the robot executes. George contains two batteries that last up to 8 hours. This makes this machine completely emission-free.
Pruning machine
Every tree planted in our nursery has to be pruned first. Not only the roots, but also the branches needs to be pruned to ensure the best possible start at their new places on our fields. To make this process as efficient as possible, the pruning is done with our pruning line, developed in cooperation with Horti Robotics. This machine is pruning the roots automatically and transport them to the members of our team who are pruning the heads of the trees.
The next innovation is on its way
At Volentis, we are always on the move. We have identified further opportunities for soil improvement and precision agriculture, among other things, which will improve our trees and services even more.
Furthermore, we are busy dealing with secondary aspects such as waste processing. So, the next innovation is on its way. We’ll let you know when it’s here.
