Agrovent Oxample
Agrovent Oxample: Smart Controlled-Atmosphere Storage for Potatoes
Up to 40% of seed potatoes are lost each year due to poor ventilation and uncontrolled humidity. Agrovent Oxample changes that - providing precision microclimate control, up to 10 months of storage and +15% higher yield the next season.
Why Controlled Atmosphere Matters
The Challenge
Traditional bulk or natural storage exposes potatoes to:
- Oxygen > 20%, CO₂ buildup
- Temperature fluctuations
- High humidity and sprouting
This leads to starch loss, rot, and physiological stress.
The Solution
Agrovent Oxample maintains:
- O₂ — 2–5%
- CO₂ — 3–5%
- Relative humidity — 95–98%
- Temperature — +2…+4 °C
This ensures optimal dormancy and long-term quality preservation.
How Agrovent Oxample Works
- Automated sensors track O₂, CO₂, humidity and temperature.
- Smart controllers adjust airflow and cooling to maintain stability.
- The system removes CO₂ and excess moisture, replacing it with conditioned fresh air.
- Remote monitoring enables 24/7 control from any device.
Economic Efficiency
Proven ROI
- Payback period: 2–3 seasons
- Reduces post-harvest losses by up to 95%
- Increases seed viability and yield by 10–15%
- Low energy consumption due to automation
