Haspencubes

To raise the temperature on fruit plantations during the winter, tins of burning paraffin are used to prevent buds on fruit trees from freezing. Once the paraffin has burned out, the empty tins need to be collected. 

Mixing the apple wood and paraffin produces a product which combusts completely, thereby eliminating cleanup. The braziers are cube-shaped to enable them to be produced, stacked and handled out on the plantation. The mould is filled and compressed by hand. A hole in the centre of the brazier ensures airflow, while the grey cardboard wrapping around the brazier prevents it from disintegrating, protects it against moisture and encourages better, more robust combustion. All braziers are stacked efficiently onto a euro pallet.
