• What are the onion/potato varieties?

• Under what weather conditions are the onions/potatoes harvested?

• What are the growing regions of the onions/potatoes?

• Can you describe how the logistics from the field to the store is organised? (means of transport, bags, bulk or big bags, how long does it take, maximum harvest rate per day in tons, etc).

• How is the onion/potato harvested?

• Under what conditions are the onions/potatoes harvested?

• What is the onion/potato temperature at harvest?

• Do you currently have a store? If yes, what kind of issues do you experience and how do you operate it at the moment?

– Do you experience issues during loading of the store? If yes, what kind?

• Where is the new to build store located?

• What temperature are you anticipating to store at, did you already consider this?

• What will be your desired delivery temperature to the market of the onions/potatoes?

• How many tons per day will you unload from the store to the market?

• In what kind of trucks will the onions/potatoes be transported to the market (reefer trucks?) and what is the transport time to the market?  Where is the farm located?

Storage Design: Insulation 

• Insulating materials, e.g. mineral wool, foam polystyrene;– PIR

– PUR foam or panels

– The resultant product of PIR product gives greater heat stability, increased flame resistance, chemical resistance and dimensional stability, than that of a PUR foam.

• Minimal heat transfer: K‐ Value : 0.3W/m². K. 

Storage Design: Insulation 

• It is all about the details: – Material  (wood or steel)

– Thickness construction ( walls, ceiling)

• Possibility of condensation, dew point;

• Importance of proper insulation:  CO₂ levels , energy consumption (heat‐cold exchange)

• Most effective, efficient and flexible storagesystem is the suction system

• Most flexible is drying wall system

• Alternative for suction when in need of otherhatch arrangement or not willing to put covers on or off is the blowing system

• Room ventilation/Overhead throw is not a drying system but a storage/cooling system
