In 2017, the global flower company Syngenta got interested in the technology developed by the engineers and researchers at OptiCept Technologies offices in Lund. Soon a partnership was formed to develop the technology further and make it ready for the flower industry. The method reached even higher results when the cooperation with Prebona started. Prebona has developed the next generation of nutrient solution to optimize the impregnation into the flowers. This turned out to be the perfect symbiosis between two game-changing technologies.
The OptiBoost treatment is both a technology and a method,
We use vacuum infusion to impregnate the cut flowers with a nutrient solution. But not just any nutrient solution – we have developed a functionalized nutrient solution based on the third generation of nanotechnology.
Vacuum enables the solution to impregnate as efficiently as possible, the solution itself is optimized to deliver the highest possible amount of nutrients for the flower.
This process takes place in a treatment chamber controlled by the main unit. A treatment only takes 36 seconds, the basic system can manage 40 000 roses/h.
The OptiBoost technology adds value throughout the entire supply chain of the flower industry. Regardless of where the technology is applied, the quality is boosted, sustainability is increased and multiple business benefits are achieved.
More resilient flowers with a longer vase-life give growers the option to choose ways of transportation. Change from air freight to sea freight, transport dry instead of on water, and much more.
OptiBoost enables more flexible handling for wholesalers and distribution centers as the freshness remains intact for longer.
Less wastage and increased sales all at once. As more flowers can be sold and as they are more attractive to the end consumer.
