Jim van der Voort and Rémon Koopman new representatives of Jongejans Luchttechniek for the Dutch market
“Companies realize that with a structural solution for agricultural dust and skins they will be better off for the future.”
For over thirty years, Jongejans Luchttechniek has been fully dedicated to providing solutions for agricultural dust and loose sheets. Despite the coronavirus crisis, the agricultural sector is experiencing a strong need to invest in extraction systems for market leader Den Helder. To maintain its visibility in the domestic market, the company has appointed two new representatives for the Dutch market, Jim van der Voort and Rémon Koopman, who will maintain existing and new relationships.
Jim van der Voort (26) has always been interested in the agricultural sector and, after working in retail for several years, has made the switch to Jongejans. He will be responsible for sales in North Holland, South Holland, and Zeeland. Rémon Koopman (28) also comes from a completely different sector, having worked as an account manager for an IT company. As a sales representative, he is the point of contact for agricultural customers in the other nine provinces. Both representatives have been undergoing training in the assembly and workshop since November to gain product knowledge and are now ready to serve the Dutch agricultural sector with extraction solutions. Remon's first impression is that the agricultural businesses are very welcoming. "You're welcome everywhere, and customers have very specific questions. You can really help people."“
Jongejans is by far the market leader in the Dutch market for extraction of potatoes, onions, flower bulbs, and seeds, and according to Jesse Vonk, this is a major advantage for the customer. "Because we've been able to equip some 90%s for the agricultural market with our extraction systems, we have experience with all types of processing and packaging lines. We can apply our specific knowledge to this specialization. From harvesting to packaging, the entire process is geared towards one goal: delivering beautiful, cleanly packaged products to customers. Customers realize that by investing in a permanent solution for agricultural dust and skins, they're better off and ready for the future."”
Extraction during flower bulb processing
“Sorting and packaging flower bulbs generates a lot of dust and skins. Just like a cleaner product, a smooth production process is becoming increasingly important, because you want to avoid line downtime during the season at all costs. While we used to focus solely on dust and skins, in recent years there has been an increasing demand for the suction of sour bulbs. By doing this efficiently, a significant amount of labor can be saved, which customers consider the biggest benefit.
Remote monitoring
“A key development in recent years is that we're building our systems so they can be monitored remotely. This allows us to remotely monitor malfunctions, proactively assist with solutions, and quickly resolve initial questions online. This has been a valuable addition, especially over the past year, when travel was made difficult by the coronavirus pandemic, and customers greatly appreciated it. By linking data, we can often resolve malfunctions remotely, but also automatically schedule maintenance intervals and ensure that technicians receive the correct parts, ensuring optimal and worry-free operation for our customers.”
By implementing a structural solution for agricultural dust and skins now, your business will be guaranteed to be better off in the future and you'll be ready for the future!
For over 30 years, Jongejans has been fully dedicated to providing solutions for agricultural dust and loose sheets. Because we've equipped approximately 90% agricultural machines with our extraction systems, we have experience with all types of processing and packaging lines. Let this specialization work to your advantage, because with a Jongejans extraction system, you'll improve your business in many ways:
Investing in dust extraction is investing in the health of you and your employees.
- Tackling fine dust is something you need to solve long-term (explanation of the total approach to fine dust with dust tents, negative pressure, etc. in the interview supplemented by Jesse)
Your machines run better and with less downtime
- Many automated systems only work if they are preceded by proper extraction. We map the entire line and incorporate extraction (supplemented by an interview with Jesse; sorting, sealing/packaging—everything requires an integrated approach 100% tailored to the specific line).
Customers demand clean products
From harvesting to packaging, the entire process is geared towards one goal: delivering beautiful, cleanly packaged onions or potatoes to customers. Extraction contributes to onions being packaged with minimal loose skin. This also allows us to provide solutions for clay packaging, etc. (add interview details regarding various systems)
To optimally serve the entire agricultural sector, our team has been expanded with two system specialists for the Dutch market.
- Supplement interview per person, background and approach Rèmon and Jim.
- You can contact us for service, maintenance (also remote), new machines or replacements.
With these new employees, Jongejans is investing in the future as a specialist in extraction systems for the agricultural sector.
