Total solutions for onion storage
Optimal storage conditions for your onions
Good onion storage depends on timing, airflow and consistency. Uneven drying or inaccurate climate control increases the risk of rot, condensation and quality loss. Mooij Agro designs, builds and automates complete onion storage systems for bulk, box and bag storage. We combine storage design, ventilation, storage equipment and intelligent control in one integrated solution. This ensures consistent drying, stable storage conditions and predictable onion quality throughout the entire storage season. The result is more control over onion quality, less manual work and a storage system that supports your product goals from intake to delivery.

Key storage processes for better onion storage
With complete automation, you gain full control over every aspect of your onion storage process. Ventilation, temperature, humidity and energy use are continuously monitored and adjusted in real time. This helps create stable conditions throughout the storage period, reduces manual work and protects onion quality.
For onions, timing and airflow are critical throughout the season. From intake to delivery, the system helps create the right conditions at the right time. This includes four key storage processes:
| 1. Drying Removes surface moisture after intake and supports proper skin drying to reduce the risk of rot and storage problems. |
| 2. Cooling Gradually lowers the temperature to maintain product quality and slow down deterioration. |
| 3. Warming Prepares onions for delivery and prevents condensation during handling and unloading. |
One complete storage solution, tailored to your needs
Every project starts with your crop, your storage conditions and your product goals. Based on these three factors, we design a complete storage solution built around four connected layers.
1. Ventilation concepts
The right ventilation concept depends on your storage type, crop condition, batch size and quality goals. For onion storage, this can include duct ventilation, floor ventilation, pressure ventilation, aspiration ventilation, room ventilation or letterbox ventilation.

2. Storage processes
We define the right storage strategy for each phase, from drying and to cooling, long term storage and warming up.
3. Storage equipment
Your solution includes all required components for reliable storage performance, such as fans, hatches, ducts, airbags, aspiration covers, heaters, and mechanical cooling.
4. Control and management
