1,000-Ton Containerized Potato Storage Facility with Dragon-M Microclimate Technology

Agrovent engineered and commissioned a 1,000-ton containerized potato storage chamber (36 × 15 m) featuring advanced ventilation, high-efficiency refrigeration, and full automation. The system provides long-term, stable storage conditions for potatoes, onions, and beets, ensuring minimal spoilage and maximum product quality - even in hot or variable climates across India, Africa, the Middle East, and the UAE.

Project Objectives

• Design, manufacture, and install a complete ventilation and refrigeration system for containerized potato storage

• Implement two independent climate zones within a single chamber

• Meet an accelerated six-week production-to-launch timeline

• Deliver custom-colored ventilation grilles tailored to the client’s branding

Storage Solution

Advanced Microclimate Technology

• Dragon-M system for efficient cooling, uniform airflow, and a stable temperature–humidity field

• Controlled removal of CO₂ and respiration by-products to prevent physiological disorders

• Designed for high performance in warm and humid regions

Refrigeration & Airflow Systems

• Refrigeration unit built on a Bitzer compressor, ensuring reliability and energy efficiency

• Air preparation chamber positioned along the outer wall to optimize airflow

• Intake valves supply fresh air; heaters, coolers, humidifiers, and recirculation valves stabilize the microclimate

Automation

• Croptimiz-r controllers enable remote monitoring, analytics, and automated climate control

• Full visibility of temperature, humidity, airflow and CO₂ levels across both zones
