Second Skin at De Bruijn Tomatoes

The new Second Skin application of Metazet was used at De Bruijn Tomaten at the end of last year. This plastic top layer ensures that the gutters look smooth and evenly white again, which radiates hygiene. Large orders have already been placed for tomato cultivation: 28 kilometers of gutters were fitted with Second Skin. With this, growers experience the innovation almost as if they were getting new Gutters, with clear advantages in terms of hygiene and ease of maintenance.

Where: A. de Bruijn in de Lier

Surface area: 28 km

Cultivation: tomatoes

Type of installation: Second Skin on existing AG gutter.

About this project

The De Bruijn brothers from De Lier are very satisfied with their new Second Skin-Gutters. Thanks to a specially developed closing profile, the plastic top layer sits even tighter around the Gutters, eliminating the risk of fruit damage. Just in time, as the first round of plant lowering is scheduled for next week. A great example of teamwork and innovation in practice.
