New tech keeps flowers fresh from harvest to shipping

" This engineering is well - known in other industries , but we are the first farm in the world that will apply it in cut flower , " Pablo Bazzani of Plazoleta Flowers proudly says . The applied science he refers to is Dry - C , an innovational method that see to it the temperature and humidness of their efflorescence before shipment . " It allows us to typeset the flower in optimum conditions to handle external challenges during transportation that can impact their quality and freshness , hence , arriving at its final terminus in the soundest conditions . We now control something most farms did not conceive can be controlled . "

Reason?But what is the reason of this Colombian bloom farm for starting to use this technology ? " Our flowers are endanger to international challenges during transportation that can go beyond our control . Extreme temperature changes , lose flight link , and foresighted transits in sea container can bear on the quality of our varieties . So , along the years we had see how some claims came from our customers even when all the team did an exceptional problem machinate the invigorated prime to our client . "

" We truly see all the logistic challenges that our peak have to sieve out to get to the last destination , so we decided to harness this return hand - on , try out to get command on something most of the companies believe can not control . "

test periodTogether with the support of several Dutch companionship , we started developing and implementing the Dry - C technology suitable for their slashed flowers . " It was not just one thing ; it is the result of gathering many improved mental process usually used by the farm but including some engineering used for example in the food manufacture . Dry - C Technology is the result of yr of laborious study . "

The test geological period took more than six months setting all the unlike varieties lines . " It is not the same processing an Alstroemeria or a wry Cartesian product like Limonium Sinensis , so the stricter challenge was to identify all the breakpoints in term of temperature and humidness of each variety and eccentric of flush we develop . "

How it worksSo how does it lick ? " It all starts at the field , " explains Bazzani . " As shortly as the bloom are cut we take them in record time to a temporary worker control spot - crop . Once the efflorescence get to the product line , they end by a chamber that cools down the temperature to 4 degrees in a short metre and takes off all the surface H2O , getting quick to start all the hydration , bunching and packaging summons all under a temp control atmosphere . At the oddment of the process , all the box go through another chamber specially place depending on the variety that cools the flowers to 2 degrees again drying the bloom , so they get to the logistical agents in optimal conditions to start their journey to the final client . even more , resistant to any undesirable delay or temp variation . "

ResultsAccording to Bazzani , Dry - C work out outstandingly in all their varieties . " It consecrate exceptional results in Alstroemeria , Limonium Sinensis , Statice , Solidago , Snapdragon and Leucadendron . "

One of their main goals is to reduce the phone number of claims . " We are still on the route to get more statistics , but our goal is to trim back all title by 70 % by the final stage of this year . "

" All we are look for by using this method acting is to keep our client satisfied with the product we get . We authentically think that our large challenge is to provide fight to our customer by choosing Plazoleta . "
