The road works on Bruggestraat are finally over. This means that we are also accessible again from the village center. Please note that heavy traffic is prohibited on that side, WITH EXCEPTION for local traffic. Trucks that need to deliver to us are therefore allowed to enter the Bruggestraat along the side of the village center.

Constructie Bruynooghe is once again participating in the Interpom trade fair. Despite what the name suggests, this fair has grown into a trade fair for the entire fresh produce sector. Our team will gladly present our solutions for potato and carrot processing. This year, Interpom will take place from Sunday 24 November to Tuesday 26 November.

Please note that our team is enjoying an extended weekend next week.

Monday, August 19th, we will be back on track to serve you with spare parts and continue to build on beautiful food processing projects.

This month the CB Terrus is the focus of our newsletter. A CB Terrus desoiles the product before the washing process. This reduces the load on the water-recovery system considerably and can reduce the frequency of fresh water supply. More information and the product video can be found here.

Beyonce would say, "This ain't Texas, it's #TeamCB. Sunday, April 19, our colleagues, some loyal alumni and their families gathered for the annual CB Family Day. This edition, the celebration was topped with a nice touch of sunshine and a cowboy sauce.

This length grader and roller grader (which sorts by diameter) are almost ready to leave for one of our fresh market customers.

This week, Milan Anseeuw, a student from the VTI in Torhout, is doing an internship in our production department. Here, he can practice TIG welding. Conical feet ensure that a machine frame can be mounted level on the factory floor.

#TeamCB is currently receiving reinforcement from Ismael. Ismael is studying Office-Languages at Athena Campus Drie Hofsteden in Kortrijk.

Abdel sand blasting booth operator in our workshop is proud that in doing so his son gets a view behind-the-scenes at his workplace.#TeamCB

Some colleagues concluded their work week last week with a (refresher) course to obtain their forklift certificate.

Today we had the students of 5 and 6 agriculture of VABI school group Sint-Michiel visit us. This gave them an idea of the processing machines of their future customers.

When a machine project is up-and-running at our client's facility, the eyes of our project team begin to shine. On top of that, if we can capture that processing line on film to proudly show it to colleagues, customers and interested parties, this is the icing on the cake. We are therefore proud to be able to add other processing installations for spinach and peas to the list of project realizations in the spotlight.

Fortunately, St. Nicholas had a good navigation assistant with him this year. For several months it has been necessary to follow a detour to reach our company. Good news the period of muddy feet and ditto wheels is thankfully over.

For a producer of frozen vegetables, we realized this mobile reception set-up. The hydraulically driven setup can be easily moved with a forklift.

In the workshop, our team is finalizing this setup through which product will be fed to a built-in optical sorter.

We recently welcomed two new faces in our team. Jonas has started in our design department, while Mauro joins the Bruynooghe Automation team.

This box tipper is almost ready to leave for an industrial customer. A large, tall hopper will be fed from above with product that was stored in crates

The box base has a lid with a funnel to minimize product loss during transfer.

Dear customer, Dear stakeholder

We are proud of 50 years of partnership with food companies in Belgium and far beyond. Since our founding in 1973, our mission has been to deliver robust machine projects that you can count on for many years. How old is the oldest CB machine in your production facility?

Our mission remained the same all these years, though accents such as only stainless steel, hygienic design and seamless connection with optical sorters etc. gradually became more and more important. In 2019, the Bruynooghe Automation team joined us to offer an even broader total service.

In the future, we will continue to focus on customized hygienic design, robust solutions that last & turnkey projects.<br><br>Thank you for your confidence,<br>Nicolas Bauwens CEO, <br>on behalf of the entire management team.

Constructie Bruynooghe was founded by the late Daniel Bruynooghe, in 2009 Gerard Dupulthys joined the company. Today, his grandson Nicolas runs the company with Gerard by his side.

Constructie Bruynooghe was founded in 1973, which means that this year we can celebrate our 50th anniversary. We are not letting this go by unnoticed. On our social media, we are guiding you into our history in two different series. Over the next few weeks, every Monday we will highlight a machine that customers already relied on years ago. On Fridays, we tell the story of the company's origins and evolution.

In our workshop, the finishing touches are being put on this crate tipping setup. For the hydraulics we work together with a partner, the automation is carried out by our colleagues from Bruynooghe Automation.

A screwis a hygienic transport solution that can be used for dual purposes such as defrosting, presoaking and cooling. In a blanching or conditioning line, a screw forms a robust, hygienic link between various process machines. Each screw is designed on a project basis.

This glazing setup is ready to leave for a customer in the frozen food industry.

We are realizing this large brassica line in several phases. The phase where we provide alignment to and framing of the cutting machines was pre-assembled and is already on its way to our customer. Curious? Watch the video here.

Work is currently in full swing on as many as 6 evenflows.

These are realized on-demand for a specific project.

We were pleased to realise this washing set-up for spinach for an Italian client.

By connecting three robust paddle washers, extremely thorough cleaning takes place. Moreover, this solution minimises product damage.

Sustainability was particularly important in this assignment. The set-up was designed in a way to optimally reuse process water.

Curious? Watch the video of this realization.

At Interpom, our solutions for the carrot and potato sector, both fresh market and industrial, will take center stage. In addition, we are also highlighting our in-house automation team 'Bruynooghe Automation'.

Getting a 9-ton bulk feeder to a customer in Portugal is real craftsmanship. To move such a weight flawlessly, every centimetre matters. Our mechanics worked together with experienced crane operators and exceptional transport drivers to bring this to a successful result. Even the pouring rain at the beginning of the afternoon did not stop them. Fortunately, it soon cleared up, which made the job just that little bit easier. Meanwhile, this reception bunker has almost arrived at its destination under the Portuguese sun where it will be used in a bean line.

On Wednesday February 23rd, 14 children from the local 'Technics Academy' came to visit our company. During a number of Wednesday afternoons, they are enthused for STEM (Science - Technology - Engineering - Mathematics) at the 'Technics Academy'. Besides the practical lessons on wood, electricity, robotics, electronics, mechanics and chemistry, a company visit is also part of the curriculum. We are glad that we have been asked to do this again this year.

Who knows, maybe today we met a future trainee or employee...

Did you already (virtually) meet Liesbeth? Liesbeth is our new purchase manager since January 2022. With great enthusiasm, she does her utmost to get purchase pieces to our mechanics on time. She is one of the key figures that ensure that we can deliver impressive projects to our customers.
