Unlock the full potential of your storage space with bulk storage. Enjoy efficient loading, cost savings, and space optimisation.
Why a bulk store?
In a bulk store your product is piled up to 5 meters high. That is how you can utilise the available space in the store to the fullest. How efficient! Moreover, loading a bulk store is easier than loading a store with any other system. After all, you do not have to fill and stack boxes. Therefore loading is fast, and you need less staff. Because of the space efficiency, and because you do not have to purchase expensive boxes, a bulk system generally asks the lowest investment per ton of product.
How does it work?
The fans force the air down, causing an overpressure in the pressure wall and in the ducts. The overpressure forces the air through the product. Any air treatment, such as heating or humidifying, occurs in the pressure wall. The inlet hatches are always positioned in the pressure wall, above the fans. The position of the outlet hatches is flexible.
Floor alternatives:
• Above ground ducts are easy because there is no need for a special floor, but placement and removal of the duct elements can slow down the storage intake process and unloading of the cells. Time to time you also need to replace the damaged duct elements.
• Below ground ducts are a compromise between above ground ducts and fully ventilated floor. Fast and easy loading and unloading of the product.
• A fully ventilated floor is relatively expensive in terms of construction but results in the best air distribution with easy and fast loading/unloading of the storage.
Bulk storages are most commonly used for these products:
• Chips, crisps and starch potatoes
• Seed potatoes depends on the variety
• Onions
• Red beets
• Other root crop vegetables
