The Twister of Havatec is state to be the first car in the reality that cheer a hand - tied posy with its ' signature twist . ' It was enter in 2020 , and so far , a mere 50 installations have been sell . Most of them are in Western Europe and about 1 in 4 in North America . of late , the first machine was delivered to a client in South America , namely Agrogana Doña Natalia in Ecuador . They are the first client in that part of the world .
The video shows the very first fragrancy that are made after installation ; the swiftness will be higher once the people are more experient . move up to about 1600 flowers per individual , per round tabular array .
The signature twistAs the name point , the ' twist ' is what makes this machine particular . " We were look for a way to make that twisted appearing of a blossom bouquet that result in an open bouquet once it is put in the vase , " Jorien Plak - Schouten , head of sales at Havatec explains . " Other machines that were useable at that time were focused on high volume processing , on a vapid belt or sometimes compartments where you lay in the efflorescence . No machine was capable to make the high - quality bouquets with the signature tune twist that is a big part of the securities industry . With a bland belt or compartment box , you may make a flat bouquet or with some crossed stems , not the mellow - last bouquet . "
How it worksBut how does it play ? Plak - Schouten : " The Twister operates in a unique way . A Twister initiation consists of a conveyor knock , several stave turn board , each for a maximum of 10 flush character , and a luggage carrousel that gathers the bloom . This is where the illusion befall . It is followed by a binder that keep all flower unfaltering in plaza . At every board , there is a soul who takes a flush from the turn mesa and pose it on the conveyor belt ammunition . An LED lighter bespeak where the blossom should be placed . This is a job that want very little breeding , which is an advantage compare to in full hand - tied bouquet making , which is not an easy Book of Job . All flush will bring in the patented carrousel that gathers the stem and twists them into a bouquet . The rotating binder simulates the hand - tied pliable band that keeps everything in plaza . "

return on investment of 2 - 3 yearsThere are rich reasons to invest in the Twister , she continues . " With the prices of personnel move up , scarceness of force , and the require training , one can issue down heavily on Labour price . Sometimes , the Twister leave in a decrease in labor cost of 50 % , resulting in an average ROI of 2 - 3 years or short . The eminent calibre of the bouquets , the output in numbers racket , the ease of switching from one formula to the other , and even the fact that one can make 2 types of recipe at the same time are all in favor of this revolutionary auto . "
Twister in EcuadorFor Doña Natalia in Ecuador , the reasonableness for starting to apply this machine is their aim to get in the coming twelvemonth , even more than they have done in the past years . " It is a challenge to find enough people who can do the job nowadays . Bouquet - making requires training , and when experienced people depart us , it is not loose to exchange them . This , combined , with the labor costs that are exit up , may blockade the potential growth of our company . The Twister will ensure a gamy - quality bouquet and will keep our cost price unfluctuating , " say Sebastian Maldano , head of sweetness at Agrogana .
Potential of Twister in South AmerciaBoth Plak - Schouten and Maldano are positive about the hypothesis for the Twister machine in South America . " The price of labor has increase a lot over the years , but also the act conditions are playing a bigger issue now . society in Colombia and Ecuador are the main suppliers of flowers and bouquets to the US market , and the clients in these countries demand good workings conditions from their suppliers , such as we have see in the material and clothing industriousness in Asia . The feedback that we get from customers as well as from the workers is very positive . The prole cite that their hands are not tired or halter anymore , and it ’s just fun to work with Twister . And above all , the client are quenched with the character of the bouquets . Therefore , we anticipate growth towards next yr . "
