A healthy batch of safety LOGISTICS The finished, high quality organic products of Davert GmbH like rice, legumes and cereal products like sugar, dried fruit, nuts, oilseeds and sprouting seeds must be protected from dust and pests during storage and then transported without damage to drug and health food stores. The system supplier provided the Beumer stretch hood A for this task. It covers the mixed pallets of bags, cartons and buckets with a highly elastic stretch film, protecting them against external influences, keeping the merchandise secured during transport, even through sudden braking. Davert GmbH is a trading and manufacturing company for high-quality organic products. The company with its 150 employees is based in Ascheberg, in the southern Münster region, right next to the eponymous nature reserve Davert. “With our guarantee of origin, we are committed to fair trade and long-term business relationships world-wide,” says Erwin Tenbrink, Technical Director at Davert. The company acts as a consultant for its partners when it comes to product selection and cultivation and coordinates infrastructure projects. For its customers, Davert follows a multi-channel strategy: the merchandise is sold via their own online shop and in in selected drugstores and health food retailers. Cleanliness has the highest priority “We are ensuring the highest degree of cleanliness to meet our strict quality standards,” explains Tenbrink. Before being shipped out, the legumes, rice etc. have undergone special quality controls. The employees examine the incoming raw products and set up the required cleaning steps. “One of the preventive measure is the pressure treatment that we use to prevent any pest infestation from the start,” reports Tenbrink. “The sudden pressure release kills off any pests like bugs, moths or mites and their larvae and eggs, without compromising the quality of the product in any way.” In compliance with the quality assurance process, employees pack the merchandise in a variety of ways, depending on the product: rice, flour, linseed and grains are packed into bags, larger storage quantities into big bags. Packaged legumes, nuts, dried fruit and muesli is filled into boxes, honey into buckets. Depending on the store order, the team stacks the various unit loads onto mixed pallets. “Up to this point in the process, we assign the highest priority to cleanliness,” explains Tenbrink: “And now it is just as important to keep this level of cleanliness and protect the products from dust and pests during storage in our high-rack warehouse.” The units also have to be loaded safely onto the back of the trucks 32 WORLD OF INDUSTRIES 2/2019
