PRODUCTSStorage Systems in Boxes
Pallet storage units are suitable for storing potatoes, fruit and vegetables. Pallet storage is preferable to many products, because the pressure on the bottom of the pallet is much smaller than that of bulk storage. Boxes and bins also provide great flexibility and allow for the storage of different varieties in one storage room. Agroel recommends its Integrated Mixing Chambers (IMC) – an affordable climate control system for these types of warehouses for long term storing vegetables and fruits.
IMC are ideal for both small farms and large producers of vegetables and fruits. This equipment can be used to complete intermediate cooling rooms for fruits and stone fruits.
AGROEL IMC INTEGRATED MIXING CHAMBERS
An integrated mixing chamber can work in a variety of modes: an ambient ventilation mode using outdoor air for cooling, a refrigeration mode or a combination of the two modes. Significantly lower operation costs of ambient ventilation are arguments for combined ventilation and refrigaration systems, compared with storage facilities equipped only with a refrigeration system. Cool air (either ambient, mixed or refrigerated) is blown by the IMC above the top pallets, and then it drops by it’s own weight in spaces between pallets. The so-called „top ventilation“ limits water condensation in the top pallets and therefore significantly reduces the risk of storage diseases. IMC units supply large amounts of air in high velocity, sufficient for evenly covering the whole storage volume.
Depending on installed equipment, the IMCs can work in several modes:
- Ventilation using ambient outdoor, indoor and mixed air.
- Primarily ventilation (as described in point 1) and refrigeration – when outdoor-air temperatures are unsuitable for ventilation..
- Only refrigeration – for special cases.
- Ventilation, refrigeration and humidification. Humidification panels can be used not only to humidify the supplied air, but also to utilize a significant cooling effect when dry air passes through them.
Advantages of ISK pallet-storage solutions:
- All in one block – fans, insulated control hatch, air-supply pipes, evaporator, humidifier
- Easily adaptable to any kind of building
- Simple and fast on-site installations
- Affordable prices
