About us

History DETO Mechanization

In 2012, a hobby that got out of control grew into a professional company. Founded by DEnnis van der Sterren and TOm van den Beuken. Both come from and have worked in the horticultural world. Their technical background has ensured that they continue to work for the agricultural sector.

 

Vision DETO Mechanization

The machinery of many growers from the region is in good hands with DETO. Together with the team of mechanics, welders, engineers, electricians and programmers, only a few issues are impossible. DETO Mechanisatie is the right place for customer-oriented new construction, adjustments and maintenance. We work in the region and also in the rest of the Netherlands. We are often active even outside the national borders.

Scaling up is a fact in contemporary horticulture. Machines at growers and processors are being used more and more intensively and sometimes even 24/7. As a result, quality, but above all reliability and capacity of the machines has become increasingly important. We consider preventive maintenance and quick action in the event of a standstill to be a must at DETO.

Our projects

A selection of our diverse projects:

Self-propelled, tracked harvester

Self-propelled, tracked harvester for leeks. In this setup, the harvester uses a hook-arm mechanism to pull a transport trailer onto the trackway. The trailer is lifted entirely off the ground and positioned next to the loading conveyor. These trailers can carry over 6,000 kg of leeks at a time—not in traditional leek crates, but on a specialized trailer. Automated row-following technology eliminates the need for manual steering, while large, 80 cm-wide tracks minimize soil compaction and rutting. The ability to continue harvesting even in wet conditions offers a significant advantage over tractor-mounted harvesters.

Mowing down strawberry plants and tilling the substrate

Mowing down strawberry plants and tilling the substrate for replanting in the same Substrate. This is made possible by attaching a mower/tiller module to a multifunctional undercarriage. It allows for the immediate reuse of substrate. You could be harvesting one moment and replanting in the same gutter an hour later. This approach saves 10–14 days compared to traditional methods. It is perfectly suited to the "C-line" grow concept. A labor-saving strawberry cultivation system developed through a collaboration between Cox Aardbeien, Meteor Systems, and DETO Mechanisatie. The system offers numerous advantages, including reduced labor requirements, earlier harvests, an extended picking season, and greater order and structure during crop rotation.

Clearing out strawberry gutters

A specialized platform is positioned onto a multifunctional undercarriage. Capable of clearing four rows simultaneously. This ensures a highly efficient and rapid clearing process. It is an ideal component of the 'C-line grow' concept. A labor-saving strawberry cultivation system developed through a collaboration between Cox Aardbeien, Meteor Systems, and DETO Mechanisatie. This system offers numerous advantages, including reduced labor requirements, earlier harvests, an extended picking season, and greater order and structure during crop rotation.

Strawberry gutter filling machine

Strawberry gutter filling machine with substrate. Specially designed to fill two gutters simultaneously. It features a multifunctional undercarriage that can be used for various tasks throughout the cultivation process. Known as the "C-line grow concept," this labor-saving strawberry cultivation system was developed through a collaboration between Cox Aardbeien, Meteor Systems, and DETO Mechanisatie. The system offers numerous advantages, including reduced labor requirements, earlier harvests, an extended picking season, and greater order and structure during crop rotation.
