New Czech technology brings a new approach to anti-hail systems
Anti-hail nets can be a lifesaver for fruit growers, but that does not mean they will be effective in every storm. Whether through an excess load of hail that accumulates in the network or stones that pass through the spaces, damaging the fruit anyway, the technology is not infallible.
The Czech company Krodes, with its Stripex products, is changing this scenario, as they connect the network structures with a clip or zipper.
"After we start producing anti-hail nets and plastic components, for this year we have this new patented technology"Michal Nedbal told Portalfruticola.com, during the apple industry event, Interpoma last month.
He said that normally a standard system would allow the nets to capture the hail, and they would have openings for the hail to fall to the soil of the garden so that the structure does not collapse.
"This is a problem because when you have an opening between the nets, if there is too much hail it passes and hits the tree and fruit"Explained Nedbal.
"With a Stripex system, hail falls through the center, instead of going to the sides"He said, adding that the system was available with clamps or a zipper that is a bit more expensive.
He said that another benefit of the product was that it did not require the creation of new anti-hail networks.
"When you have problems with the zipper in the hail networks, you must take a whole row and install it again, but here it is possible because there are connections with the plastic pockets - you just have to open the bad parts, change and install. It does not cost too much money".
"This technology is effective for people who already have an anti-hail system in place".
He noted that the company had a presence with its components manufactured throughout the European Union, as well as Switzerland, Albania, Russia and Uzbekistan.
