Slip-in system good solution by storm damage to screening cloth

Recently there was damage to glass in a glasshouse, in which the PDI slip-in system has been installed. Only at the front did the screening cloth need to be replaced as the damage was limited to that position. A characteristic of the Slip-in system is that screening cloths can be simply installed and changed. The Slip-in cloth is no longer fixed with clips, but with two integrated flat tapes on the side of the cloth. By fixing the new cloth to the old cloth the new cloth is pulled into position, which is a tremendous saving in time.



With a traditional system many metres need to be driven with the tube rail car or the mono rail car in order to release the cloth. At a vegetable grower with walkways every 160 metres and a path length of 100 metres one would have to drive 400 metres to lift and fix 1.60 metres of cloth. Let's say that the length to be changed is 240 metres (definitely no exception) then we have to drive 60 kms in this situation. We even have a practical situation with 408 metres of cloth and walkways of 150 meters. In this case we even have to drive 153 kms in order to replace the front!
 
"In short the PDI Slip-in system is easy to handle and also takes care of folding the screening cloth into a very small cloth parcel and therefore more light is the result" Jeroen de Jonge concludes.
