Integrated Bulk and Containerized Vegetable Storage Facility with Automated Microclimate Control

Objective

Develop an advanced system for the long-term bulk storage of potatoes
Engineer a complementary system for the long-term containerized storage of vegetables
Ensure stable product preservation and quality maintenance through June

Solution

To achieve reliable long-term storage across multiple product types and formats, the facility incorporates two specialized technologies:

Bulk Potato Storage

A perforated air-circuit ventilation system ensures uniform airflow across the entire bulk mass
Stable cooling and air distribution minimize temperature gradients and reduce spoilage

Containerized Vegetable Storage

The Dragon passive-ventilation system paired with remote air coolers maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels
Designed for long-term storage of potatoes, onions, beets, and other vegetables
Engineered for high performance in hot and variable climates typical of India, Africa, KSA, and UAE

Centralized Automation

All storage sections—bulk and containerized—are connected through an integrated automated microclimate-control system
Remote monitoring and adjustments help maintain a uniform environment and reduce operational workload

Key Benefits

Long-Term Preservation: Stable microclimate ensures product quality until June
Maximum Marketability: Reduced dehydration, minimal spoilage, and consistent quality
Flexible Storage: Supports both bulk potato storage and containerized vegetable storage within one unified system
