Total solutions for potato storage
Optimal storage conditions for your potatoes
Whether you store seed potatoes, table potatoes or potatoes for processing, your storage strategy directly affects product quality, storage losses, energy use and marketable yield. If ventilation, temperature and humidity are not managed accurately, you risk sprouting, condensation, rot and unnecessary loss.
Mooij Agro designs, builds and automates complete potato storage systems for bulk, box and bag storage. We combine storage design, ventilation, storage equipment and intelligent control in one integrated solution. This helps you create the right conditions in every storage phase, from drying and curing to cooling, long-term storage and warming up. The result is more control over potato quality, less manual work and a storage system that supports your product goals throughout the entire storage season.

Key storage processes for better potato storage
With complete automation, you gain full control over every aspect of your potato storage process. Ventilation, temperature, humidity and energy use are continuously monitored and adjusted in real time. This helps create the right conditions in every storage phase, reduces manual work and protects potato quality.
Each crop has its own requirements throughout the storage season. Smart automation ensures these conditions are managed accurately and at the right time. 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 to prevent rot and fungal growth. | 3. Curing Heals skin damage and reduces weight loss during storage. |
| 2. Cooling Gradually lowers temperature to protect product quality and reduce respiration. | 4. Warming Prepares potatoes for delivery and prevents condensation during 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 potato 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 curing 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, humidification and mechanical cooling.
4. Control and management
With Croptimiz-r and related control systems, you can monitor, regulate and optimize storage conditions in real time via controller, PC, tablet or smartphone.
