FlowerLine

FlowerLine is the name for our flower processing line, which, depending on the version, is suitable for both growers and bouquet processors.

The FlowerLine is a belt conveyor consisting of a flat belt and a roof belt. The total width of both belts is 800 mm. The machine can be supplied in any desired length. Flowers with a length of up to 130 cm can be laid in. The processed products have a length of 25–115 cm after cutting (and optional defoliation).

The standard division of the roof belt is a section of 60 mm followed by a section of 80 mm. This allows the processing of both small and big bunches.

The FlowerLine can be executed with the following processing options:

• Cutting blade with counter blade.
• Double defoliator with frequency regulator.
• One or two elastic binders.
• The speed of the machine is infinitely adjustable from 750 – 3600 bunches / hour.

The machine is computer controlled and the operation is done via a touchscreen.

Optional:

• Add manual or automatic flower food to the bunches.
• Automatic sticker or barcode label.
• At the end of the bouquet line, a collecting belt can be placed to collect the bouquets.
• Sleeving standards can be supplied with the sleeve section.
• Tables can be supplied with the lay in section.

Rose sorting and bunching machine

Our 2020 Rose bunching machine can fully automatically sort by growth stage, which is unique on the market. Virtually no manual correction is required with this machine. This machine has an open control which is set up in such a way that the user can set almost all parameters as desired. You can sort by length, stem thickness, maturity, bud height, bud width, curvature, bud deviation and colour deviation.

The machine is equipped with the Vision camera measuring system developed by Jamafa. Thanks to this vision system, the machine is well equipped to measure abnormal roses.

Jamafa was the first in 2010 with automatic growth stage measurement and this system has been developed and improved over the past 10 years.

The machine is equipped with a suspension line with rose carriers, which can handle a stem thickness of up to 15 mm. Daylight lighting hangs above the hanging section, where up to 5 people can work simultaneously.

The machine is modular and the number of stations can be chosen from 6 to as many stations as desired for the situation (this can also amount to 36 or more stations). Due to the modular construction of the machine, additional stations can be added to the machine in the future. No space has to be reserved for this in the main beam, it simply grows with the machine extension.

To save length, you can choose a U-arrangement with an extra number of stations on the suspension side of the machine. Each station consists of a molding system with stainless steel forks on which the flowers are collected.

Bunch size and shape can be set per station.

Specifications:

• A maximum of 64 different types of roses can be programmed.
• Bunches can be made from three to twenty flowers.
• Maximum mechanical capacity: 10,000 rose carriers per hour.
• Maximum realistic processing: +/- 8,000 roses per hour.

Optional:

• The machine can be equipped with automatic transport systems, which can transport the bunches per sets to the packaging machines. The bunches do not touch each other during transport, so damage is nil.
• The bunches can be packed automatically, with each bunch getting a custom sleeve, so large bunches get a larger sleeve than small bunches. This is fully automatic without having to change sleeves in between. Additionally, it is also possible to produce blank and printed sleeves at the same time.
• For the binding of the bunches you can choose a binder with Jamafa binding thread, or you can also choose to bind with 1-core or 3-core elastic.

Due to the enormous amount of setups and options, the Rose bunching machine is always a piece of customisation that is made customer-specific in close consultation with the customer.

We would be happy to explain the options for you during a visit at your location.

FlowerCatcher

The FlowerCatcher is a fully automatic, robotised system that can place bunches of flowers in buckets and proconas. The FlowerCatcher checks whether all bunches have a cover. The bunches are separated on a buffer track, where the FlowerCatcher catches the bunches, counts them and neatly groups them in a bucket or procona. The buckets or proconas are automatically supplied and removed.

The technology behind the FlowerCatcher guarantees a constant neat presentation of the bunches. By automatically grouping you always get the correct number of bunches, without damaging your flowers.

The FlowerCatcher can be integrated into your production line to allow the entire process to run fully automatically.

For more information about the FlowerCatcher, please contact us at sales@jamafa.com.

Jamafa elastic binding machine

The Jamafa elastic binding machine can be supplied as a stand-alone hand binder or integrated into a FlowerLine or a Rose sorting and bunching machine.

The binder can process 1 core- as well as 3 core elastic, this choice depends on the bouquets to be processed. The elastic tension with which you bind is also infinitely adjustable.

The binder has a throughput of up to 4000 bunches per hour.

This machine is suitable for all types of flowers and bouquets.

Jamafa binding elastic

Elastic for the binding machine.

Jamafa binding elastic is manufacured in Europe and if of the highest quality. It consists of 100% latex with a soft wrap. The result is a very strong elastic with a high stretch. Compared to other suppliers, Jamafa elastic has been proven to give 10-30% more bindings per kilo of elastic. By using a soft spinning, you have demonstrably less wear on the binding machine and therefore less maintenance on the binder.

Jamafa binding elastic can be used on all common brands of elastic binders. The elastic is available in 1-core or 3-core, depending on the wishes and the bouquets to be preocessed.

Jamafa delivers at very competitive prices. Get in touch with us and we will give you a personal offer.

Packaging machine

The Jamafa Packaging machine packs flowers in a transparent thin foil. This foil can be printed as desired, for example with a company logo. Aeration perforation is also possible. With the various foils, your flowers will look very representative. The Jamafa Packaging machine can also be used for packaging roses that are transported by air freight

Jamafa launched a new packaging machine in 2011. A lot of time and energy has been invested in optimizing the result with this machine and working cost-effectively. Points of attention of the “old” packaging machines have been incorporated in the design of the new machine. The processing speed has increased considerably. There can be considerable savings on printing costs by using different foils mixed together and because the tightness of the packaging can be adjusted per bunch, no foil will be wasted even in smaller bunches.

Specifications:

• Processing speed up to 600 bunches per hour.
• Use of blank or printed foil, or foil with only a logo on it. The foil can be used interchangeably.
• The tightness of the packaging can be adjusted per bunch.

Our Packaging machines can be combined well with our Rose bunching machines. Jamafa can simply connect the packaging machine to your existing bunching machine.

Defoliator

Clean water is of great importance for the shelf life of cut flowers. Defoliating the stems is therefore an important part of making bouquets.

The Jamafa defoliator machine has brushes on both sides, so you can choose two different types of brushes on the machine. The brushes have six rows with pins and a large diameter of 110 mm, which means that large bunches can also be defoliated well and without damage.

The frame is made of stainless steel. The machine is equipped with an extra powerful 0.75 kW electric motor. In combination with the unique full-rubber defoliating brushes you always achieve the optimal result.

The defoliating brushes are available in three colours/hardnesses:

• Yellow, soft
• Red, medium hard
• Blue, hard

The brushes have a square center hole, so they are always mounted correctly. The defoliating machine is optionally available with a separate base.

The complete defoliating machine as well as the defoliating brushes and loose parts are available from stock.

End-of-Line system

The Jamafa End-of-Line system puts the finishing touches on the handling of your bouquets.

Boxes of bouquets are manually placed on the supply conveyor, and from here the process is automatic. At the end of the belt, a camera reads the barcode stickers on the boxes. The position, direction, shape and colour of the stickers does not matter to the camera, every barcode is read.

After scanning, the boxes go into the cooling. Here is the operator screen where you can divide the different codes over several collection belts. For example, all boxes for a specific customer can be placed on one collection belt. This is done by specially developed pullers, which transfer the boxes from the supply conveyor to the collection conveyor. Once arrived on the collection belt, the boxes only need to be removed from the belt to place them on, for example, pallets.

For more information about the Jamafa End-of-Line system, please contact us at sales@jamafa.com.

Jamafa Vision system

The core of the Jamafa sorting machines is formed around the Vision system that Jamafa developed specifically for the application in floriculture.

By always applying the latest vision techniques, we can continuously improve our measuring technique.

This of course benefits the quality of the sorting, as more and more options are released. For example, we can currently assess and sort a single cut rose on eight different criteria.

Jamafa’s larger machines can all be connected to the internet to allow online diagnosis and correction. This means that our mechanic no longer has to come to the location.

Labour registration and greenhouse registration system

The labour registration and greenhouse registration is only possible in combination with a Jamafa sorting machine.

Software

The labour registration will issue the following data:

• Number of cut flowers per employee in the greenhouse.
• Number of flowers placed in machine per employee.
• Number of flowers per species and sorting.
• Number of flowers by type and sorting per row from the greenhouse.
• Display on screen how many flowers are processed per hour per employee in the greenhouse and per employee on the machine.

All registrations will include the date and time of the relevant action.

The cash register will issue the following data:

• Number of flowers per row in the greenhouse.
• Quality (length, weight, number of buds) of flowers per row.
• Number of flowers per species/variety per row.

Description of operation

• If an employee is going to cut flowers, the employee must first scan himself with his personal RFID tag, then he will scan the row in the greenhouse in which he will be working.
• After cutting, the employee scans the full cart or container with cut products.
• The inserter/hanger at the sorting machine reports at the start of the work.
• The picking container with flowers is scanned at the time of insertion/hanging.

The control of the machine will keep track of the numbers per insert and also the sorted flowers with all measurement data. The machine is therefore in fact “the brain” of the entire labour registration and greenhouse registration. All data is stored on a separate PC that also contains the software package for displaying the necessary information of the processing.

Completion of this information will be done in mutual consultation.

Projects and custom solutions

In addition to our standard machines, Jamafa is strong in branch and customer-specific solutions. Due to the flexible structure of our organisation, we can switch quickly and our development processes (time to market) is very short.

Our solutions are based on our modular construction method, which means that a lot of time can be saved in the design phase, but also in construction and finishing. We make maximum use of standard components that are easy to supply and replace worldwide.

In addition to the modular method of design and construction, Jamafa also thinks in its total solutions in modules (machines) that can come from other suppliers and can be fully integrated.

Our target groups are basically the horticultural companies, both growers and bouquet processors and processors of imported products. However, Jamafa Machinery B.V. can also build projects for other industries outside our target groups.

Some examples of our recent projects are:

• A flaring installation for making bar fencing without welding connections.
• A stacking and wrapping machine for frozen blocks of pork meat.
• A sanding installation for a clay string press from a brick factory.

Our own company is the core, but around it we work together with suppliers in areas such as labour registration, greenhouse registration or software development for certain applications. In this way we are also able to offer larger turnkey projects.
