Different storage systems for onions
Bulk storage
Bulk storage is the most efficient and widely used method of onion storage. This type of storage is ideal for storing large lots of onions homogeneously and for a long period of time. Mooij Agro can help you create the perfect climate to limit storage losses. In addition to the measuring and control equipment, we also provide the right fans, air inlets and air distribution systems. Depending on the climate and harvesting conditions, we also supply cooling, heating and dehumidification systems.
Storage in boxes
When storing onions in boxes, it is easy to keep one product separate from another. Keeping onions in boxes is therefore ideal for onion sets or onions for the fresh market. You can easily grade and deliver a small quantity. For the highest possible yield, it is important that you ventilate well, that all onions get the same amount of air and that the air reaches all onions well, including those in the core of the boxes. Mooij Agro can advise you on the correct ventilation system for storing onions in boxes.
Storage in bags
In some countries, onions are bagged directly in the field. The bags are then taken to the store. An advantage of this system is that the bags are traceable and you can easily sell them in portions. Mooij Agro helps you set up a good ventilation system for your storage in bags. We ensure that the air is evenly distributed and goes through the core of each bag. This results in homogeneous ambient temperature and optimum moisture content of your onions.
