Stand Location: Darse Sud, Booth DS72

We have just said goodbye to the Monaco Yacht Show S.A.M. and now we’re busy getting ready for the next exhibition. The METSTRADE in Amsterdam.

From Wednesday, November 15 to Friday, November 17, FlowGrill B.V. will be present at this innovative event. Our experts would love to talk to you about the technical side of ventilation solutions for the yachting industry.

You can find us in the Superyacht Pavilion – Stand 10.513. Looking forward to see you there!

Powerful piece of technology: our new airflow calculation software for New build and Refit projects.

Every day we work hard to develop new ideas and optimize existing concepts so that we can continually surprise our customers with innovative solutions. For example, we recently launched a new software that allows us to calculate the airflow that goes through ventilation grilles on superyachts. Read on if you want to know more about this.

Air pressure and air velocity are the most important elements for a properly functioning ventilation system. That's because they make sure that air flows evenly throughout the system and create optimal air circulation.

CFD simulation

So, measuring the limit values is very important for optimal air flow. And that's something we can accurately calculate with our new CFD software. We detect laminar and turbulent airflow using parametric CAD data. Even when minimal space for ventilation is available, the maximum permissible limits of airflow and air pressure can be accurately determined and processed in our ventilation solutions.

Extraordinary design

In addition to correct air pressure and air velocity, the shape of the louver, the cause of the air pressure difference, is also very important. This is because air flows can receive a lot of air resistance with louver types with a complex shape compared to those with an open, simple shape. Therefore, we take into account the airflow conditions of the specific louver and technical positions on the yacht in every design. We make your wishes visual and ensure optimal airflow.

A complete picture

When the owners stand on their yacht, they see an exceptional grille that is fully integrated into the design of the yacht. They don't have to worry about the complex technology behind it to make that exclusive grille work optimally.

FlowGrill takes care of that. We also make sure that the quotation, order and assembly processes are streamlined with the projectteams. Do you have questions about our new airflow calculation software? Or are you curious about what's possible for your project? Contact us and we will help you further.

FlowGrill - design meets functionality

Save the date! From Wednesday, September 27 to Saturday, September 30, we will be present at the Monaco Yacht Show. Last year's edition, where we immediately discussed different projects with customers, was a huge success. That's why we are excited to be there for you once again this year.

Since 2004 we have been a partner of various shipyards with our ventilation solutions for superyachts. With FlowGrill's products we keep the engine room and air supply systems of your superyachts clean and dry. We design, manufacture, supply and install all our products ourselves. From start to finish, we work closely with yacht designers and builders to ensure our quality.

During the Monaco Yacht Show, we are delighted to make time for you to discuss your projects and requirements. Send a message to our Refit & Maintenance manager @Patrick to schedule an appointment.

Will we see you in Monaco?

The FlowGrill Mist Eliminator is an Air Intake Separation System for marine applications and is constructed entirely of plastic. Our high quality Mist Eliminator prevents below deck corrosion and malfunctions of electronics. It eliminates (extremely high) incoming saltwater loads and separates the smallest droplets (± 13 μm!). It also prevents sand, boat wash and other contaminants from coming in, while it maintains unrestricted air flow to engines and equipment. Our Mist Eliminator is specially designed for high filtration capacities at low and high air speeds. This means no longer increased maintenance and damage to engines and equipment. FlowGrill’s Mist Eliminator is your solution.

Our Mist Eliminator works best with FlowGrill’s louvers and Wire Mesh filters. This combination results in the best suitable airflow, pressure loss, low noise levels and minimum build in depth. But you can order the Mist Eliminator as an individual solution as well.

FlowGrill’s Mist Eliminators are suitable for both new-built and refit projects. We offer on-board installation by our service team and we offer annual maintenance and inspections on site.

Contact Refit & Maintenance manager Patrick Mannaart to get your advice.

Get your yacht well prepared for the start of the upcoming yachting season. Replace your contaminated filters or complement your existing ventilation system with FlowGrill’s Wire Mesh filters to keep your engine room and air supply systems clean.

When using FlowGrill filters you are ensured of optimal filtration. The salt-water resistant filters offer maximum resistance to penetration of moisture, water, dust and dirt. These long-lasting filters are very easy to clean. The simple installation and removal means extra convenience in applications where frequent maintenance is required. Ask for all possible solutions.

The Wire Mesh filters are available in combination with the FlowGrill ventilation louvres and mounting frames or as a separate component for both New-built and Refit projects. Easy assembled by yourself or by the FlowGrill service team on site.

Our Wire Mesh filters offer proven quality and have been requested and supplied on Super Yachts for many years. 

Contact Refit & Maintenance manager Patrick Mannaart to get your advice.
 

After our precence at the Monaco Yacht Show FlowGrill was present again at the world's largest exhibition of equipment, materials and systems for the international yacht building industry. We would like to invite you to visit our stand at the SuperYacht Pavilion at METS Amsterdam 2023. Details will follow!!

Our Team is looking forward to meet you!

FlowGrill is ready for the Monaco Yacht Show

In September 2022 it will finally happen. For the very first time and with our own booth, FlowGrill will participate in the Monaco Yacht Show, which takes place from September 28 until October 1. In anticipation of this event for the crème de la crème of the luxury yacht building industry, general manager Arnold Woerts explains how he and his colleagues prepare. And why the company from Zevenaar should not be missed at this event.

The Monaco Yacht Show is not unfamiliar territory for Arnold. He has been visiting this microstate for eighteen years to attend the event and catch up with existing relations. But FlowGrill has never been an exhibitor at the world's leading yacht show before. Until this year.

"At the Monaco Yacht Show it's all about the most luxurious superyachts. But it's also the place to be for yacht builders, crew members, management agencies and designers. During this event, you'll discuss yacht projects directly with the industry experts; this makes it a very interesting event for companies that work in the luxury yacht building industry", Arnold explains.

Refit market

“FlowGrill is growing and we've noticed more and more people are familiar with our products. We have been a well-known player for more than eighteen years for new build yards. But we are also increasingly focusing on the refit market, because customers also know where to find us for renovating a superyacht. This event is an excellent opportunity for us to bring our solutions to the attention of new audiences.

Functionality and design go hand in hand

In Monaco, FlowGrill will show visitors which possibilities there are regarding ventilation grilles for luxury yachts. "People sometimes think that such grilles are an eyesore on a beautifully designed yacht. But with our specially shaped and high-quality ventilation grilles we prove the opposite. Our products show how functionality and design go hand in hand. We always say: 'tell us your wishes and we will make something beautiful that also meets your requirements.' We use our computer simulation program to accurately determine the functionality of the grid. The ventilation grille always blends in completely with the design of the yacht."

High quality

But it's not only that, the lifespan of our products is also very long. Our ventilation grilles are made of aluminum, stainless steel or composite. Aluminum in particular is a sensitive product that requires good technical preservation. We produce and handle products that are resistant to corrosion for a long time."

Unique service

"FlowGrill is unique in its services. We take care of everything for our customers, whether it is a shipyard or the crew. We design, manufacture, deliver, and install all our products ourselves. From beginning to end, we work closely with the designers and builders of the yachts."

Own booth with sample products

From September 28 to October 1, FlowGrill will show a number of products in its own booth, which will be a real-life example of a high-quality ventilation grille. "Visitors of the Monaco Yacht Show think design is very important, but it must also be right from a technical point of view. We show that both are possible with us."

Another advantage of FlowGrill's presence in Monaco: projects can be discussed on the spot. "Together with our account manager Patrick Mannaart I represent FlowGrill during the event. Visitors can ask all their question and we will immediately think along about yacht projects. That's what makes the Monaco Yacht Show so interesting for us."

It's clear, at FlowGrill we can't wait to get on a plane to Monaco in September. "Yes, this is really the place to be for us", Arnold laughs. "We are really looking forward to it!"

‘Ik heb van mijn passie mijn werk gemaakt!’

Al jaren achtereen bezoekt hij de Monaco Yacht Show en is hij verzot op alles wat met de jachtbouw te maken heeft. Niet zo verwonderlijk dus dat Patrick Mannaart koos voor een baan in deze bijzondere branche. Als project- en accountmanager bij FlowGrill kan hij zijn hart ophalen, want hij werkt met én voor de meest luxueuze jachten ter wereld. Hoe hem dat bevalt, lees je hier.

“De jachtbouw zit in mijn bloed”, begint Patrick. “Daarom vind ik het heel gaaf om in deze branche te werken. Maar het is een apart wereldje hoor. Als je werkt in de jachtbouw moet je aan hele hoge eisen voldoen. Er heerst een zeer hoge mate van perfectie.”

Ventilatieroosters voor luxe jachten
Maar met die kwaliteit zit het wel goed bij FlowGrill. Patrick legt uit: “Wij verkopen ventilatieroosters voor luxe jachten. Niet zomaar ventilatieroosters, maar op maat gemaakte designstukken die volledig geïntegreerd worden in het jacht. Soms van wel 16 meter lang. Gebogen en gewalst: op het gebied van vormgeving kunnen wij elke uitdaging aan. Maar bovenal gaat bij dit type roosters functionaliteit hand in hand met een mooi ontwerp. Het rooster vormt echt een eenheid met het jacht.”

Rolls Royce
“Het is een nichemarkt waarin wij opereren. Ik durf best te stellen dat wij de Rolls Royce onder de ventilatieroosters bieden. We bieden het beste product én hebben veel know how. Zo berekenen wij middels computersimulaties de airflow, zodat het rooster altijd perfect past bij de specifieke situatie aan boord van het jacht. Inmiddels hebben we vijftig jaar ervaring in het ontwikkelen van (beweegbare) ventilatieroosters, filters en aanvullende producten.”

Passie wordt baan
“Het leukste aan mijn werk bij FlowGrill? Ik heb van mijn passie mijn werk gemaakt! Als accountmanager kom ik regelmatig op jachtwerven wereldwijd. Het internationale karakter spreekt me heel erg aan. Ik heb contact met klanten uit onder andere Duitsland, Italië, Frankrijk en natuurlijk Nederland. Ik houd me nu veel bezig met REFIT-projecten van jachten. Ik bezoek de projecten zoveel mogelijk om direct contact te leggen met de crew of projectleiders aldaar. In dat geval zijn we als gesprekspartner - FlowGrill - direct aanwezig op de plek waar we moeten zijn: het jacht.”

Wereldmarktleider worden
“FlowGrill bestaat uit een team van negen vakspecialisten op kantoor. Daarnaast werken we met vier vaste monteurs én opgeleide partners in het buitenland die de werkzaamheden ter plaatse uitvoeren. We zijn allemaal professionals met dezelfde instelling: de ambitieuze wensen van onze klanten realiseren. Onze focus ligt op de klant maximaal adviseren en ontzorgen in hun project. FlowGrill geeft vol gas als dé specialist in ventilatieroosters voor luxe jachten.

Ons doel? Wereldmarktleider worden van turn-key projecten in het absolute topsegment van de luxe jachtbouwindustrie. Ja, we zijn een bedrijf met ambitie”, sluit Patrick lachend af.
