A ten - hectare nursery easily comprise fifty kilometers of heating system pipes . Lifting all those thermionic tube off the ground during the crop revolution requires muscles and a circumstances of hands . It is hard body of work , but not for FB Engineering ’s Tube Rail Lift .
For the past two years , the clever invention has been on show at the horticultural trade mediocre HortiContact in Gorinchem . Richard Frenken of FB Engineering is marketing the intersection . The troupe is scaling up . Several growers are already using Wiel Nies ' conception .
Richard Frenken and Wiel Nies at HortiContact 2022 .
Labor - saving and labor - relievingMore than ever , gardening is all about hygiene , and parturiency is scarce . clean the greenhouse in good order to paragon requires lift the heating pipes off the land . That elbow room , the thermionic tube can be cleaned in good order , and the lam film can be vary .
The subway rails lift come about after a doubtfulness from a raiser who did n’t want his masses doing the heavy lifting again . Could n’t it be done mechanically ? " Yes , " said discoverer Wiel .
When lifting , only one world per underground lift is needed . The tube rails lift has an arm at the front , with two roller on it through which both tubes of the heating loop-the-loop campaign . This sleeve provides the steering direction so that the handcart on Castor always stick to the tube track very neatly in the longitudinal direction .
Using a elevation crotchet on a winch , which with its 0.5 kW power can lift up to 250 kg , the tube rail is hoist to the desired height , after which the tubes are hang in an A - bait on a upright cable length or S - hook . Then , the tube rail lift , powered by a low - noise 0.8 kWh petrol source , drives to the next dangling point , and the operations repeat .
The Tube Rail Lift is usable for almost any electron tube rails size . The political machine lifts the tube rails and , not unimportantly , also order them back in crinkle neatly . In between , agriculturist can clean the greenhouse , even when the day get short . By supply an LED floodlight to the tube - rail lift , tube - track lifting can also be done in the eve or early aurora .
