"By using foil, gutters last longer"

“When cleaning during crop rotation the gutters are under a lot of pressure. This can damage the coating and is not something you would want to happen”, Piet van Oord of Oerlemans Plastic explains. Under the name of OPS gutter protection film, Oerlemans Plastic presented a foil to cover gutters in horticulture during the GreenTech.

"By using foil, gutters last longer. Besides this, it saves time, water and cleaning supplies that are needed to keep the gutters clean. The foil counters the growth of algae and unwanted roots and also reduces the transfer of viruses and diseases. With the ideal of using less crop protection, this is an important subject for fruiting crops as well.”



Custom-made
Custom-made is becoming a growing trend, as gutters differ in size and material as well. This is why Oerlemans doesn’t only produce standard sizes but also provides the right size foil for every gutter if needed.


Henri van Hemert explains how the foil is placed on the gutters.
