Potato storage ventilation

Potato warehouse ventilation systems direct airflow through the tubers. SiloPapa uses forced ventilation by suction and recirculation to support post-harvest potato preservation, with four speeds and CO₂ extraction.

How it works

The right airflow,
at the right time.

The system reads temperature, relative humidity, and CO₂ to monitor storage conditions. Suction ventilation and recirculation direct air through the stored product.

01

Ventilate

Outside air enters uniformly through the vents.

Ventilation por succión de SiloPapaVista superior del silo lleno de papas, sin cubierta para mostrar el interior. Un frente uniforme de aire exterior ingresa por todas las compuertas del lateral izquierdo, atraviesa la papa y sale por las turbinas de la derecha, renovando el aire y extrayendo dióxido de carbono. Los colores representan el recorrido, no temperaturas medidas.

Uniform inlet → through the potatoes → air and CO₂ extraction

When outside conditions are favorable, the fans draw air evenly through the potatoes to renew the atmosphere, cool the load, and remove accumulated CO₂.

02

Recirculate

The silo's own air circulates through the load again.

El aire propio del silo atraviesa la papa y retorna por ambos laterales en un circuito continuo que ayuda a estabilizar temperaturas y distribuir la oxigenación de manera uniforme.

Through the potatoes → side return → internal air circuit

Internal air returns along the sides and flows through the potatoes again. This movement helps stabilize temperatures and evenly distribute oxygen using the silo's own air.
