Foreword

It is with great gratitude that we present this magazine by Burg Machinefabriek. From the one man

business our father started in 1954, we have grown to the innovative machine factory that you know

today. Although we still spell Fruit with a capital ‘F’, we are realising total projects in the international

fruit and vegetable branch and other related sectors.

We have reached a new milestone in our history with our new location in Kruiningen and we are

now able to grow even more. We could not have done this without the services of our motivated

(previous) employees, accurate suppliers and renowned customers. We sincerely thank them for this.

Above all we thank our Lord, God.

The history of our company has already been illustrated in a previous brochure. In this magazine you

can read all about our employees, customers, assortment and vision for the future. If you read the

articles and look at the photos, you will understand why we’re so proud of our company. Burg Ma-

chinefabriek has been well known for its service, quality and innovation for years. We hope to supply

this for many years to come!

Enjoy,

Arjan and Piet van Burg are the second generation of Burg, which has been managing the current machine factory since 1990. Their brother Hans is a shareholder, but has consciously chosen not to take a place in the management. The third generation of Burg also entered the company a few years ago. We take a short look at the history of Burg with Arjan (general affairs) and Piet (technical affairs) , but above all look towards to future of the company.

The management of Burg Machinefabriek about the past, present and future

“Burg Machinefabriek was founded in 1954, by our fa-

ther, Maarten van Burg,” Piet starts. “The company ini-

tially focussed on field machines for the fruit sector. It

sold weeding machines and lawnmowers, which mo-

wed the grass under and around the fruit trees. Even

then, innovations were held in high esteem and the

assortment steadily grew, with lifting frames, trans-

port trolleys, cuttings sliders and picking devices. At

this time the prices for fruit were usually good, which

meant growers could invest in their scant collection

of machines.”

Turning pointArjan mentions the period from the end of the 70’s

to the beginning of the 80’s as an important turning

point for the company. “This was when the fruit gro-

wers switched to 350 kg boxes and this was a big

change for the cultivation. Handling boxes manually

in the orchard was no longer an option with these

big boxes, so this labour had to be done with lifting

frames. Our solution, the dosage box emptier, was an

excellent way of getting fruit out of the box without

damaging it, and our product range grew from there.

This was also when we as a company made to switch

to sorting and packaging instead of working on the

field.”

“We then introduced the water dumpers over the

course of the years. This is around the ‘90’s,” adds Piet.

“There were already tipplers, but people didn’t want

to damage the carefully grown fruit in the last phase

of the process. Unloading in water was a great idea,

especially for pears. We quickly saw the benefits of

emptying them wet, such as the high capacity, fruit

friendly treatment, continuity in the supply to the

sorting machine, less pollution of the connecting ma-

chines and a better product presentation and work

performance.”

“We didn’t hire sellers until the ‘90’s. Later on there

was a vision in the area of acquisition and market re-

ach and the turnover steadily grew. The generation

before us visited fairs, but we were more active in

this,” adds Arjan. “There was a desire from the fruit

tipplers for more products and we grew towards acti-

vities in box handling in the entire fruit and vegetable

(and food) industry.”

Vision from harvest to trading product“We define ourselves with a vision from harvest to tra-

ding product. There is an entire process between har-

vest and trading product. We focus on the peripheral

equipment for this. That sorting machine is the core of

the sorting hall and we feel at home around this,” says

Piet. “We offer a total package from the washing and

nestling of the boxes, to underwater fillers and palle-

tisers. We mainly work based on module building, so

that sieve belts and box clamps can be fit into other

lines.

According to the brother the growth that Burg Ma-

chinefabriek went through in all those years, is mainly

due to the robustness and reliability of the machines.

“Price-quality ratio also plays a role, and thanks to our

innovative machines, we have gained a lot of trust

from the sector and a large customer base,” says Arjan.

Fruit and vegetable wideAlthough its roots are in fruit processing, Burg now

has a vast amount of references in the greenhouse

and agricultural sector and in the area of total pro-

jects. “You work with the same kind of people, fruit

and vegetable sector wide, from grower to packager.

And whether a box is 1.20 wide, such as is common

in fruit, or 1.60 meters in agriculture, we can apply

the same techniques and stay in our element,” says

Arjan. “Whether there are onions or broccoli in the box,

6

we can empty them both without damage. We have

also done some nice projects in the greenhouse sector

in recent years, with emptying and filling boxes in pep-

pers and cherry tomatoes.”

Burg Machinefabriek is now works with ten dealers.

This isn’t a recent development. In the 70’s and 80’s fa-

ther Maarten van Burg worked with Kent Fruit Services

in selling box tipplers in the United Kingdom. “Our fa-

ther sold a lot individually abroad, usually just by pho-

ne. It was easy to do that back then, because the de-

mand was bigger and there was less competition. We

just saw, but never experienced it,” reminisces Arjan.

“We’ve been working with dealers in Canada for thirty

years, but there are also dealers of our machines active

in West European countries and South Africa. You just

have to know your network. And of course the growth

abroad has greatly widened our market area. We are

widely orientated and don’t say ‘no’ quickly. Whether

it’s a line of citrus in South Africa or a line of broccoli in

Holland. If we had focussed solely on the fruit cultiva-

tion, we would have faced deeper dips.”

“On the other hand Burg Machinefabriek won’t for-

get its home market,” says Piet. “Being active far away

isn’t always good, but it’s a part of it. We are feeling

the economic crisis too, and there has been a huge

sanitation among the growers. But we kept on gro-

wing. The sector keeps growing against the crisis and

is looking for automatizing solutions in difficult times.

“The focus is on supplying total projects and is always

aimed at the flow to the sorting machines,” emphasi-

ses Arjan. “We won’t stop until the broccoli has been

weighed, has a sticker, and the packager can put it in a

final package. But if a machine exists, we’re not going

to invent it again, we’ll buy it. Collaborating with other

suppliers is definitely an advantage.”

When asked what Burg Machinefabriek will look like in

ten years, Arjan answers: “We hope to continue gro-

wing steadily. Just like the fruit cultivation and agra-

rian sector our own production process will also be

automatized further. And we hope for a good conti-

nuation of the company. The years go on. I hope that

we have heirs in the family. The most important thing

is that the boys are suitable and love their work.”

Rene Koster, marketing / sales

I began my career at Burg during my studies. First in

the production, but because of my Autocad experien-

ce I moved on to engineering. After my graduation,

when we developed and delivered the first apple and

pear sorting line, I started working as a draftsman,

that was over fifteen years ago.

Also on an ICT level there have, over the years, been

substantial steps forward. We now have an up-to-date

automation system whereby the information from the

different departments come together in our ERP sy-

stem.

Through the steady growth came increasing demand

from sales for devising technical solutions and the as-

sociated calculations and tenders. Currently I support

our sales team and herein I am partly responsible for

part of the sales. All in all a challenging job in a com-

mitted and motivated team.

Arie Verhoef

representative / export manager

Since April 2007 I have worked at Burg as a repre-

sentative responsible for sales in the Netherlands, the

German-speaking countries, Slovenia, Czech Republic,

Slovakia, Hungary, Scandinavia and South Africa. This

means in practice that every day we maintain direct

contact with customers in the Netherlands, but also

through our dealer network abroad.

In the last five years developments within Burg have

gone quickly. The product range of robust and reliable

machines has greatly expanded as you can read in this

magazine, so we can respond to questions and trends

in the market. Whether it is a simple box emptier or

a complete project, Burg realizes customized soluti-

ons in the broadest sense of the word in almost the

entire fresh produce industry. It’s great to have both

technical and commercial advisors searching for the

best solution for the end user and to achieve this in

collaboration with a team of colleagues.

Joan van Burg, overseas salesperson

After school I started off doing experience at Gebr.

Weststrate in Krabbendijke. I wanted to try different

things, and learned a lot there, but when there was a

vacancy as a salesperson I seized it with both hands.

I sell in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Spain,

Portugal, North America and Canada, but can only do

this due to a great cooperation with the rest of the

team. Thanks to this cooperation the business which

I promise to customers can be realised. I could hardly

speak English, but my father sent me out and I learnt

on location. That was quite exciting to start with, but

it has literally been fruitful!

Peter van Burg, project engineer

After my training I started working in production at

Burg. I gained a lot of experience, due to having built

the machines and installing them at the customer’s

premises. After having worked in production for a

number of years, I moved to the engineering depart-

ment. Here we develop the machinery and drawings

for various projects. We also work on specific customer

requirements on the drawings.

Larger projects are handled, drawn up and installed

by the project leader. These projects are prepared as

much as possible at the sales stage so that the details

and customer requirements can be achieved. Through

this approach to the project an optimal production

time is realized and the customer gets what he expects

to get.

Kees Kaan, electrical engineer

I have been working for Burg Machinefabriek since

2000, and this way I made the big step from hydraulics

to electrics. After a project has been developed at the

engineering department we take care of the electric

controls of the project. We design the control panel

and draw up the electrical schemes. When the orde-

red components are in, we build the control panel. The

project is built up in the work place and all electronics

are fitted and tested by our department.

One of the new developments is that we have the op-

tion to take over the control and operation from the

customer at a distance. If there’s a problem we can

assist the customer in solving this problem remotely.

We make fantastic machines! The new building has

greatly improved the working conditions. We have a

lot more space and can set up and test the machines

much better.

Jaap de Pater, purchaser

I’ve been working at Burg Machinefabriek since 1988.

I started on the work floor and have been responsible

for purchasing and inventory management since 1997.

The company has grown greatly in those years. But

one thing has never changed: I enjoy going to work

every day. The new building has only strengthened

this, because we can work faster and more efficiently.

Adriaan Nieuwenhuijse, lathe employee

I started working for Burg Machinefabriek straight out

of school. I’m proud to work with the company and

enjoy the variation in the work with the different kinds

of machines we make. Also with processing machines

we are prepared for the future, recently we added an

automatic milling machine. What the future will bring,

I do not know, but I believe our ‘hand work’ will still be

needed as well as all the automation.

Rinus van de Plasse sr, lathe employee

I have worked for Burg since 1965. I am the oldest

employee with the most years of service. I do my job

with pleasure every day. I’ve seen a lot change, in a

positive way. My job has been a turner for all these

years and I have made many components for the ma-

chines. I have always worked with my colleagues and

bosses as friends.

Johan Sinke

water cutting machine employee

I have been working for Burg Machinefabriek with

great pleasure since 2003. From May 2009 I have been

the operator of the water cutting machine. During wa-

ter cutting, cutting sand is added to the water, which

makes it possible to cut pretty much any material:

from metal, stainless steel, plastic, glass, rubber and

from wood to stone. This has its benefits compared to

the regular laser cutters.

Peter Smit

workplace chief and service coordinator

When I was hired in 1990 I started out as a con-

struction bench fitter. After that I was the service

and maintenance mechanic, after which in mid 2011.

I succeeded my predecessor who retired, as the work-

place chief. As well as this the coordination of ser-

vice department belonged to my duties. The biggest

change has been that the machines are now easier

to use, with pretty displays, despite becoming much

bigger and much more advanced. At the new location

we can, in the coming years really get to work. Fruit

and vegetables will keep coming and they have to be

processed.

Hans van Burg, spray painter

I am a share holder in the company, along with my

brothers Arjan and Piet, but I feel most at home in

the work place. I’m responsible for spray painting,

foreseeing the machines of the Burgh colour, or the

colour the customer wants. At our previous location

in Oostdijk we also had a paint department, but we

can operate continuously now with the current transit

cabin, which has a good rail system. We paint every-

thing ourselves, if the size of the machine allows it. I

have been a part of our family company since 1990.

The biggest change has to have been to move to

Kruiningen.

Erik Wagenaar, electrical engineer

As an electrical engineer I have a varied job, ranging

from design and implementation to testing of con-

trol cabinets. The wiring of machines and testing of

PLC programs is also in my job description. Part of

the work consists of providing service to customers at

home and abroad, both by telephone and on-site by

the customer. It’s always a challenge to help the cus-

tomer as quickly and effectively as possible!

Hans van Beek, service technician

I have been working at Burg Machinefabriek as a ser-

vice technician since 1995. My work involves placing

new installations and maintenance of existing equi-

pment. As engineers, we are close to the customer,

so if there are any questions we immediately try to

answer them. My goal is reached when our customers

are satisfied. As engineers, we get a lot of freedom in

our work, and thus responsibility. For me this means

a great job. We are provided with good tools and a

good service van and that gives job satisfaction!

“The start of our collaboration was also the beginning

of Burg Machinefabriek’s period in which they started

to automatize and use the first PLC-techniques. This

took flight. Now Burg Machinefabriek makes a large

amount of machines on a yearly basis, and they are

now almost all PLC controlled,” says the manager of

TSG. “The electro department at Burg has now consi-

derably grown and therefore they now do more them-

selves that when they started. We now mainly develop

software, but whenever we’re needed, we make a con-

trol panel or lead a complete project.”

“From the local supplier Burg Machinefabriek was in

the past, the company has grown to an international

player in the fruit and vegetable branch. We love to

help with this, because as TSG we also have years

of experience with international projects in the fruit

and vegetable sector. For instance, we recently hel-

ped Burg think about control of complete new lines

abroad. On of Burg’s wishes was to be able to take

For Jan Willem Pieper of TSG, Burg Machinefabriek is

a familiar company. He has been working there for

four and a half years after all. The manager of TSG

has been supplying the machine factory with soft-

ware and control panels for years now. “But our rela-

tionship is more than that of an average supplier. We

know each other through and through and regularly

consult, when there are questions or when new plans

have to be made.”

“Burg Machinefabriek and TSG have been working to-

gether since 1997. I had just left school back then,

and wanted to work with a different employer than

my father, who founded TSG. Burg had a vacancy for

an electrician, and that’s how I started out there. At

the same time Arjan van Burg was looking for a new

‘home installer’. When I was hired he was just con-

tacting my father to buy software from home. This

happened at the same time without our knowledge,”

reminisces Jan Willem.

Techno Service ‘s-Gravenpolder Ltd (TSG) was founded in 1979 and is specialised in indus- trial automation and control technology for, among others, the fruit and vegetable sector.

“Our bond is deeper than a suppliers

relationship”

control of the these systems at a distance for service

purposes. We came up with a solution for this.”

Jan Willem is confident about the collaboration with

Burg Machinefabriek in the future. “Despite the com-

pany outgrowing the national level, they’re not sin-

king to a lumbering, bureaucratic firm. For Burg it’s

a question of staying sober and doing what needs to

be done. They make sure problems are solved and are

constantly innovating. All I want to say is stick to this!

They are real pioneers and with the customisation in

the area of control techniques that we’re used to sup-

plying, I could see us realising great project together.”

Therefore, Burg developed a bag machine and we

now have four of them running. In the testing phase

of machines, Burg often asks us for a favour. We love

helping with this, because we only benefit from ma-

chines we enjoy, and if its good we save money.”

Rogier praises the long collaboration. “The lines to the

boys are short. You give them a problem and they get

going straight away. I once jokingly said they didn’t

have to show their faces at the company until they

had developed a peel catcher. Although they wonde-

red whether there was a demand for it at first, they

developed one anyway and we loved the prototype

straight away. Now we never have to worry about the

bottom skins.

The firm Van Damme from Nisse grows apples and

pears on around 50 hectares. Besides cultivation, the

daily production process also contains picking, coo-

ling, and sorting and packing. The Van Damme bro-

thers were born among the orchard tress and the Burg

firm has known the fruit cultivation for years. “We

used to have a Burg tilter and a lifting frame,” reminis-

ces Rogier van Damme.

At the moment the fruit grower has dry as well as wet

fillers, an emptier and dryer, all from Burg Machinefa-

briek. “We often tell Burg our problems, and the boys

there get thinking and come up with a design. We fill

a lot of bags of Conference pear with 5, 6 or 8 pieces.

We used to do this by hand, but found it astonishing

that we still had to put pears in bags by hand in 2012.

Vogelaar Vredehof is a trading and packaging compa-

ny with a strong specialisation in top fruit. Large volu-

mes of fruit are treated and distributed all year round.

The main location in Krabbendijke is in the middle the

Zuid-Bevelands fruit area, close to the roots of Burg

Machinefabriek.

“We have been Burg’s customer for years, about 25

I think,” says Sjaak Wagenaar. “Burg started supplying

box tipplers and we now have three water dumpers,

which they supplied complete with supply and drai-

nage, and dryers to the sorting machine. They also

don’t shy away from special construction. The men

know where the obstacles are, and what to look out

for. They stand their ground and have a lot of good

ideas. Of course, this is how they grow as a company.”

“Burg’s service is excellent and of course, it’s a huge

benefit for us that they are so close, because they can

be at the location as soon as possible. We might go to

them for new machines more often,” concludes Sjaak.

with the existing installation, we decided to work with

Greefa and Burg Machinefabriek again. We now own

an ultramodern 4-railed Greefa with IQS3 quality sor-

ting for apples and pears. It’s a combined machine

with ten short water channels as pre-sorting part and

six exits to packaging sets. The underwater drainage is

completely automatized and a box washer completes

the installation,” says Bênoit Moret.

“Thanks to this line we can sort around 4.5 tonnes of

apples an hour. We chose the buffer channels recently

developed by Burg. Water currents buffer apples un-

der one another and this way we save a lot of space

storing the fruit before and after sorting, and for pac-

kaging and the packaged product. We are very satis-

fied with this customised solution!”

Georges Moret et fils is a fruit cultivation company

located in Martigny, in the south of Switzerland. The

town is close to the large St-Bernard pass into Italy.

The company has 52 hectares of fruit cultivation of

which they personally own 30 ha. This year Moret’s

production is 1,400 tonne of apples, 315 tonnes of

pears, 200 tonnes of apricots, 25 tonnes of plums, 19

tonnes of strawberries and 4 tonnes of raspberries.

Bênoit Moret, financial manager of the company, says

that he has had good contact with Burg Machine-

fabriek since 2004. “In that year we bought our third

Greefa sorting line with Burg peripheral machinery.

We did this on the technical advice of Burg-dealer

Tecfrut SA.

ger sorting line and because we were very satisfied

to the people from Burg Machinefabriek during the

biennial fair held on our grounds. We met a few times,

and they produced a new machine.”

The machine brushes the boxes clean with rotating

brushes, of which the corner brushes with come up in

a platform, make sure the boxes are cleaned right into

the corners. The machine can take six boxes at a time.

“We can now do this work on the side. One forklift

driver can keep track of everything and the boxes are

cleaned much faster. This means we’re working more

flexibly and cleaner,” says Leonard enthusiastically.

livestock and fruit cultivation are connected. At the

beginning of 2012 the cooperation came to Burg Ma-

chinefabriek for a dry box cleaner.

“We had been working internally on a solution for

The machine counts and collects the small packages

of 250 grams to 2kg and puts them in bags, boxes or

EPS-futs and then stacks them on the desired pallet. It

was the first machine that could do this.”

“We are extremely satisfied with this small packaging

line,” continues Jaap. “It’s a no-nonsense company. It’s

obviously good for us that they’re close, but you can

find Burg’s machines anywhere in the world, just like

our onions. They supply good, solid machines, which

are great to use. That’s why we love to do business

with them. A deal is a deal!”

Jonika is located in Oostdijk, just like Burg Machinefa-

to six different continents. Jonika’s company motto

is: Our Onions Make You Smile! Burg Machinefabriek

provided a good small packaging line for Jonika’s on-

ions.

“In the past we bought box emptiers from Burg, and

we always liked them. That’s why we sat down with

them in 2007 to talk about a small packaging line

for our onions,” says Jaap Nieuwenhuijse.. “The box

Rainbow Kleinpak Ltd is growers union Rainbow from

De Lier’s central sorting project. The growers union

consists of 23 members, who account for 110 hectares

of high value greenhouse vegetables. Burg Machine-

fabriek supplied two emptying systems for the two

pepper sorting lines. “The first tippler was installed in

2006 and now there’s also one on our British location

Thanet Earth, where we use smaller boxes,” says CEO

Marcel Kortekaas.

“Our growers supply the peppers in big bulk boxes

and Burg’s tippler systems take care of the supply to

the sorter. There may be alternatives on the market,

but the simplicity of this system was what attracted

us,” says Marcel. “Those bulk boxes are very heavy and

that’s why we were looking for a solution like this. All

our peppers go over this line, so we can’t afford any

standstill.” The Rainow director has nothing but prai-

se about the collaboration with the machine builder.

“They are honest, helpful people!”

boxes of potatoes are heavy. Burg was the only one

who could supply a box like that.”

“Two bands pull the potatoes from the box, and this

is done neatly. The potatoes don’t fall, they float from

the box. The line can tip 40 to 45 boxes of 1,100 kilos

per hour and we are very happy with it,’ confirms Tij-

men. “Working with the people from Burg also went

very well. There’s a reason we’ve also purchased a big-

bag emptier from them.”
