Keep
your potatoes stored under Trident Potato Quilts and
make sure of their future.
There
just had to be a more convenient way of safeguarding
potatoes than the traditional covering of loose straw.
It would have to incorporate all the advantages of straw
storage without any of the disadvantages. And it would
have to be totally consistent. Cambrelle, an ICI developed
fabric, when used in conjunction with a polyester filler
provided the answer-light, easy to work, very hard wearing,
highly absorbent, permeable to air and moisture and
providing excellent thermal insulation. The many benefits
of using the resulting Trident Potato Quilt have been
proved over the past 25 years by potato growers throughout
Britain and Europe.
Excellent Thermal Insulation-one potato quilt, just
2.5cms thick, provies the same thermal insulation produced
by a layer of loose straw more than 45 cms deep to protect
your crop from frost and greening.

Lightweight
and Labour Saving-weighing just 0.5 kg per sq. metre,
the Quilt is easy to use and move. It means lower labour
costs, no mess, no dirt, no time-consuming shifting
of straw and haphazard straw spreading over large areas.
Strong, long lasting and re-usable-like traditional
straw, Trident Potato Quilts protect your potatoes from
frost, condensation and greening. But, unlike straw,
the Quilt is very strong and it lasts and lasts. Properly
used you can expect your Trident Potato Quilt to last
more than ten years.
Permeable to Air and Moisture- Trident Potato Quilts
are fully permeable to ventilating air streams and moisture
in the atmosphere.
Thoroughly Proven-developed and tested with the help
of Potato Marketing Board’s Experimental Station
the Trident Potato Quilt has proved
itself for more than 25 years in real working conditions-even
through the harsh
winters of the late 70’s and
early 80’s.
Easy to handle, easy to store-spreading the Quilt over
your potatoes
is as easy and quick |
|
as making a bed with a duvet.
And after your crop has gone
to the market, the Quilts are easy to fold away and
store ready for the next time-one of the many reasons
that Trident Potato Quilts are so cost-effective.
Water Absorbent-they are very absorbent and in most
circumstances can control condensation in the top of
the stored crop as well as mopping up any moisture that
may drip from the roof structure.
Chemically Inert, Non-Toxic, Rotproof- Trident Potato
Quilts are made from Cambrelle with a 100% polyester
filling which means that they will not contaminate your
potatoes, and do not rot. There is no problem of residues
or potato contamination. And as an added bonus no increase
in vermin can be expected form the use of the Trident
Potato Quilts.
Dries easily-as well as being
highly absorbent, the Quilt is quick to dry. It is also
easy to keep clean.
Does not fray-because Cambrelle
is a high-perfomance non-woven fabric, it will not fray
and can
|
|
be easily cut with scissors to any size you may require.
For extra protection-in stores where there is a high
incident of light, the Trident Potato Quilt is available
with a black outer surface. The Quilt can also be used
to insulate and protect potatoes in transit by bulk
carrier.
