00:00:04,440 -> 00:00:06,200
Welcome to Keep It Green and GreenPro.
00:00:06,200 -> 00:00:09,600
Today, together with Belrobotics,
we'll be visiting several sites.
00:00:10,000 -> 00:00:11,800
Standing next to me is Geoffrey de Bloeme.
00:00:11,800 -> 00:00:14,080
Geoffrey, tell us, what are we doing today?
00:00:14,080 -> 00:00:18,680
Well, today we're visiting four projects:
An American football project, rugby,
00:00:19,200 -> 00:00:22,200
a private garden and a football pitch.
00:00:22,560 -> 00:00:24,720
Great! Then I suggest we hit the road.
00:00:24,720 -> 00:00:25,360
Let's go!
00:00:25,360 -> 00:00:28,360
Off we go!
00:00:34,040 -> 00:00:36,280
We are LOVANHOP from Poperinge.
00:00:36,280 -> 00:00:38,520
We install and maintain football pitches.
00:00:38,520 -> 00:00:42,520
We also sell and rent
Belrobotics robotic mowers.
00:00:42,960 -> 00:00:45,520
We've been doing this for more than ten years.
00:00:45,520 -> 00:00:48,080
We are an A-dealer for Belrobotics.
00:00:48,080 -> 00:00:52,120
We currently have more than eighty
robotic mowers operating in West Flanders.
00:00:52,640 -> 00:00:55,160
For a sports club or municipality,
00:00:55,160 -> 00:00:58,680
having a robotic mower is extremely beneficial.
00:00:58,720 -> 00:01:01,360
It reduces costs and requires less staff.
00:01:01,360 -> 00:01:05,560
For a rugby pitch, a robotic mower
is especially interesting because
00:01:05,560 -> 00:01:09,080
it covers a very large surface area,
larger than a football pitch,
00:01:09,560 -> 00:01:12,320
and while the mower is working,
00:01:12,320 -> 00:01:16,120
staff can focus on other maintenance tasks.
00:01:26,880 -> 00:01:27,400
I'm Kevin Dedene
00:01:27,400 -> 00:01:30,280
from Beel,
representative
00:01:30,280 -> 00:01:34,600
for all professional products in the range,
including sports pitch maintenance,
00:01:34,640 -> 00:01:38,760
where Belrobotics plays a major role.
00:01:39,240 -> 00:01:41,880
At the start of last year,
we began with a demonstration here.
00:01:41,880 -> 00:01:45,600
The demo ran continuously for a full year,
00:01:45,600 -> 00:01:49,480
because they first wanted to see
how the product worked and how reliable it was.
00:01:49,760 -> 00:01:53,200
After that year, it became clear
That this product was top of the range,
00:01:53,200 -> 00:01:55,040
and they decided
00:01:55,040 -> 00:01:57,200
to proceed with the purchase.
00:01:57,200 -> 00:02:00,600
They specifically chose a Belgian product,
00:02:00,600 -> 00:02:02,560
mainly because they wanted to buy locally.
00:02:02,560 -> 00:02:05,920
The quality is also exceptionally high
compared with other robotic mower brands,
00:02:05,920 -> 00:02:10,880
which is why they opted specifically
for a Belrobotics mower.
00:02:10,960 -> 00:02:15,440
The groundskeepers were initially concerned
about the mowing pattern on the pitch.
00:02:16,000 -> 00:02:17,360
After the demo,
00:02:17,360 -> 00:02:20,520
they were pleasantly surprised and said,
“We need this.”
00:02:21,080 -> 00:02:24,360
The structure of the peat also remains stable,
00:02:24,360 -> 00:02:28,520
and fertilisation requirements have improved,
meaning less fertiliser is needed.
00:02:28,800 -> 00:02:29,160
Only
00:02:29,160 -> 00:02:32,280
the lime issue remains,
but fertilisation has significantly decreased
00:02:32,600 -> 00:02:33,760
compared with previous years.
00:02:40,960 -> 00:02:42,440
I'm Bart Colpaert.
00:02:42,440 -> 00:02:44,920
I work for
the leisure department of the City of Izegem.
00:02:47,160 -> 00:02:51,240
One of my responsibilities
is managing and maintaining
00:02:51,240 -> 00:02:55,200
all outdoor sports facilities.
00:02:55,680 -> 00:03:00,720
We are here in Izegem
on the main pitch of the Izegem Tribes,
00:03:00,720 -> 00:03:04,720
A local American football team
00:03:04,720 -> 00:03:08,440
that uses this pitch for training sessions
and league matches.
00:03:09,960 -> 00:03:12,960
We chose to work
00:03:13,040 -> 00:03:17,960
with a Belrobotics mower,
in collaboration with Domien from LOVANHOP,
00:03:17,960 -> 00:03:21,200
and we've been using it for several years now.
00:03:22,040 -> 00:03:24,840
We are extremely satisfied with it,
00:03:24,840 -> 00:03:29,800
mainly because it allows our teams
to spend more time maintaining
00:03:29,800 -> 00:03:33,400
the rest of the infrastructure here.
00:03:33,400 -> 00:03:37,120
As you can see, the site is extensive
and there's plenty of work to do.
00:03:37,680 -> 00:03:42,240
Previously, the city services were responsible
for mowing the pitch,
00:03:42,840 -> 00:03:47,120
but thanks to the Belrobotics mower,
00:03:47,280 -> 00:03:52,680
the club itself can now manage it easily
through the app,
00:03:52,960 -> 00:03:56,920
switching the mower on and off whenever they wish,
outside training hours.
00:03:57,360 -> 00:04:01,160
We've also noticed a very positive effect
on the quality of the turf.
00:04:02,360 -> 00:04:05,360
Because American football is such
an intensive sport,
00:04:05,880 -> 00:04:09,040
the pitch takes a lot of wear and tear.
00:04:09,040 -> 00:04:12,560
Thanks to the robot mowing regularly
and frequently,
00:04:13,000 -> 00:04:16,360
the grass has become denser and healthier.
00:04:16,760 -> 00:04:20,360
That can only be positive
for the lifespan of our pitches.
00:04:31,360 -> 00:04:33,880
We are Sophie and Lieven from Roeselare.
00:04:33,880 -> 00:04:38,320
We run a wholesale business
Specialising in fresh croquettes.
00:04:39,040 -> 00:04:41,520
We came into contact with Belrobotics
00:04:41,520 -> 00:04:44,520
through a friend of Sophie's,
00:04:44,880 -> 00:04:48,000
who knew Domien from LOVANHOP very well.
00:04:48,720 -> 00:04:51,120
That's how we got in touch.
00:04:51,120 -> 00:04:55,000
The deciding factor for buying
a robotic mower was simply lack of time.
00:04:55,000 -> 00:04:59,520
And that's ultimately why we chose one.
00:04:59,520 -> 00:05:00,400
Anyone with
00:05:00,400 -> 00:05:04,320
a similar-sized garden
shouldn't hesitate to buy a robotic mower.
00:05:04,360 -> 00:05:08,640
It saves a huge amount of time
and allows you to enjoy your weekends more.
00:05:08,880 -> 00:05:13,280
The appearance of our garden
is something I care deeply about.
00:05:13,320 -> 00:05:17,080
With Belrobotics, we get
a beautiful mowing pattern,
00:05:17,080 -> 00:05:20,920
and I'm always pleased
when I look at the lawn.
00:05:21,640 -> 00:05:24,160
The quality of our grass
00:05:24,160 -> 00:05:27,160
has definitely improved
since purchasing the robotic mower.
00:05:27,600 -> 00:05:30,600
Previously, it looked rather dry,
00:05:30,720 -> 00:05:34,600
whereas now it has a greener
and much more attractive appearance.
------
00:00:04,440 -> 00:00:06,200
Welcome to Keep It Green and GreenPro.
00:00:06,200 -> 00:00:09,600
We will join Belrobotics today
going to visit some sites.
00:00:10,000 -> 00:00:11,800
Next to me is Geoffrey de Bloeme.
00:00:11,800 -> 00:00:14,080
Geoffrey, tell me, what are you going to do today?
00:00:14,080 -> 00:00:18,680
Well, we are going to do four projects today
visits: American football project, rugby,
00:00:19,200 -> 00:00:22,200
a private garden and a football pitch.
00:00:22,560 -> 00:00:24,720
Super! Then I would suggest
That we just leave by car.
00:00:24,720 -> 00:00:25,360
Let's go!
00:00:25,360 -> 00:00:28,360
We are going!
00:00:34,040 -> 00:00:36,280
We are LOVANHOP of Poperinge.
00:00:36,280 -> 00:00:38,520
We lay and maintain football pitches.
00:00:38,520 -> 00:00:42,520
Selling and renting
mowing robots from Belrobotics.
00:00:42,960 -> 00:00:45,520
And we have been doing that for more than a decade.
00:00:45,520 -> 00:00:48,080
We are A-dealer of Belrobotics.
00:00:48,080 -> 00:00:52,120
We have more than eighty
maairobones run in West Flanders.
00:00:52,640 -> 00:00:55,160
Within a sports club is
it interesting to,
00:00:55,160 -> 00:00:58,680
or a municipality, it is interesting to
having a robotic mower.
00:00:58,720 -> 00:01:01,360
Cost-saving, on the one hand, fewer staff.
00:01:01,360 -> 00:01:05,560
For a rugby ground, a robot makes
it very interesting, because it is a
00:01:05,560 -> 00:01:09,080
large area is,
larger than a football field and
00:01:09,560 -> 00:01:12,320
you can actually,
while that the robotic mower mows,
00:01:12,320 -> 00:01:16,120
Having other tasks done by the individuals
who used to ride off the grass.
00:01:26,880 -> 00:01:27,400
I am Kevin Dedene
00:01:27,400 -> 00:01:30,280
From the Firma Beel,
representative
00:01:30,280 -> 00:01:34,600
of all professional products in
the range, including the
00:01:34,640 -> 00:01:38,760
maintain the football pitches, where
Belrobotics plays a very big role in it.
00:01:39,240 -> 00:01:41,880
Early last year, its
we started doing a demo here.
00:01:41,880 -> 00:01:45,600
So a whole year at a stretch
has run demo here, because she first
00:01:45,600 -> 00:01:49,480
wanted to see and feel, of how does it work
product, how solid is the product?
00:01:49,760 -> 00:01:53,200
After this year, it has emerged that this
product was the top of the summit and have
00:01:53,200 -> 00:01:55,040
she was chosen
00:01:55,040 -> 00:01:57,200
to make a purchase.
00:01:57,200 -> 00:02:00,600
A Belgian product was chosen here,
just actually the fact that they
00:02:00,600 -> 00:02:02,560
want to go buy very regionally.
00:02:02,560 -> 00:02:05,920
The quality is also very high
versus other brands of robots, and
00:02:05,920 -> 00:02:10,880
therefore the choice was made to purely from
writing on a Belrobotics robot.
00:02:10,960 -> 00:02:15,440
The greenkeepers especially were really scared
for the mowing pattern on the field.
00:02:16,000 -> 00:02:17,360
After that demo, it appeared that
00:02:17,360 -> 00:02:20,520
they were pleasantly surprised and have
they said, we have to have that.
00:02:21,080 -> 00:02:24,360
The structure in the rag and
such does not change much and
00:02:24,360 -> 00:02:28,520
improved also towards fertilisation,
which means they have to fertilise less here.
00:02:28,800 -> 00:02:29,160
Only
00:02:29,160 -> 00:02:32,280
the chalk phenomenon remains,
but fertilisation has dropped remarkably
00:02:32,600 -> 00:02:33,760
to previous years.
00:02:40,960 -> 00:02:42,440
I am Bart Colpaert.
00:02:42,440 -> 00:02:44,920
I work at
City of Izegem's leisure service.
00:02:47,160 -> 00:02:51,240
One of my tasks within
my remit is to manage or
00:02:51,240 -> 00:02:55,200
maintaining and arranging
of everything to outdoor areas.
00:02:55,680 -> 00:03:00,720
So here we are in Izegem at
The main pitch of the Izegem Tribes.
00:03:00,720 -> 00:03:04,720
That is
A local American football team who are here
00:03:04,720 -> 00:03:08,440
so basically their workouts
and finish league games.
00:03:09,960 -> 00:03:12,960
So we opted here to
00:03:13,040 -> 00:03:17,960
to work with Belrobotics' robot,
in collaboration with Domien van
00:03:17,960 -> 00:03:21,200
LOVANHOP, are we already there
launched several years.
00:03:22,040 -> 00:03:24,840
We are very satisfied with that,
00:03:24,840 -> 00:03:29,800
partly because we actually then have our
giving services the space and time to
00:03:29,800 -> 00:03:33,400
it the rest of the infrastructure
actually maintain here.
00:03:33,400 -> 00:03:37,120
Because, as you can see, it is spacious
and there is a lot of work here.
00:03:37,680 -> 00:03:42,240
So the city service used to do it
mowing the lawn, but thanks to the
00:03:42,840 -> 00:03:47,120
robot from Belrobotics can
we actually put that into the hands of
00:03:47,280 -> 00:03:52,680
the club itself, which through the app
quite easily operate the device,
00:03:52,960 -> 00:03:56,920
switch on and off whenever they want, on
the times when they are not training.
00:03:57,360 -> 00:04:01,160
We also notice a
very positive result on the lawn.
00:04:02,360 -> 00:04:05,360
Because American football is a very
intensive sport is,
00:04:05,880 -> 00:04:09,040
sees the lawn
off tremendously hard and we notice
00:04:09,040 -> 00:04:12,560
because the robot very regularly
and can drive around frequently,
00:04:13,000 -> 00:04:16,360
that the quality of
the grass got much better and thicker.
00:04:16,760 -> 00:04:20,360
So that's really only positive
for the lifetime
00:04:20,360 -> 00:04:23,360
of our fields.
00:04:31,360 -> 00:04:33,880
We are Sophie and Lieven from Roeselare.
00:04:33,880 -> 00:04:38,320
We are a wholesaler of
Fresh croquettes, also located in Roeselare.
00:04:39,040 -> 00:04:41,520
We got in touch
with Belrobotics
00:04:41,520 -> 00:04:44,520
Through a friend of Sophie's, who
00:04:44,880 -> 00:04:48,000
Knowing Domien from LOVANHOP well and so on
00:04:48,720 -> 00:04:51,120
Actually, we got in touch.
00:04:51,120 -> 00:04:55,000
The deciding factor for a robotic mower was
actually lack of time.
00:04:55,000 -> 00:04:59,520
And yes, that's how we arrived at that robot.
00:04:59,520 -> 00:05:00,400
Someone with a
00:05:00,400 -> 00:05:04,320
equivalent garden should definitely not
hesitate to buy a robotic mower.
00:05:04,360 -> 00:05:08,640
It saves you a huge amount of time and
you can enjoy your weekend much more.
00:05:08,880 -> 00:05:13,280
I like the look of our garden
well or do I attach very great importance to.
00:05:13,320 -> 00:05:17,080
And with a Belrobotics we have a nice cutting pattern
00:05:17,080 -> 00:05:20,920
where I always looked at my lawn with satisfaction.
00:05:21,640 -> 00:05:24,160
Our grass quality is
actually a bit better
00:05:24,160 -> 00:05:27,160
become after acquiring
a robotic mower.
00:05:27,600 -> 00:05:30,600
It used to be more of an arid
00:05:30,720 -> 00:05:34,600
lawn and now it has a greener, more beautiful look.
