STORAGE DESIGN
Storage Design Matters
We believe that a quality storage begins from the ground up! It is very important to consider your Ventilation System Design even before you plan your building design.
While it can be exciting to go with some kind of “new and improved” design when it comes to choosing a storage, there are a few important factors you should consider for your new investment….besides just the aesthetics:
Air flow design should maintain constant control of the climate within the storage. An improper design of the ventilation system can lead to shrink and pressure bruise if continued long term.
Storages should be designed to maintain internal climate ‘regardless’ of where the storage is located: United States, Canada, overseas, etc. Some storages may only be designed specific to a certain area’s outside climate.
Equipment quality is key in maintaining a healthy storage year after year. An upfront investment in quality can save time and resources later when equipment starts to fail.
WE KNOW STORAGE DESIGN
BULK STORAGE
The bulk piled storage system is the most popular storage design worldwide.
We are still using the Gellert Certified system designed by Nathan Gellert over 60 years ago. The bulk system has some great advantages such as: storing larger quantities of product, ease of loading and unloading product, and easy access to air system for treatment applications.
BIN (SEGMENTED) STORAGE
Get ready for those warm days!
We will help you maintain the quality of your stored commodity by getting your refrigeration up and running for the warmer weather ahead. This annual service is important in keeping the unit running at its peak efficiency.
Our refrigeration start-up service includes maintenance to the equipment and providing additional refrigeration products that are necessary to get your refrigeration units charged and ready.
BOX STORAGE
This storage design works well for holding Seed, Varieties, Bulbs, and other produce.
It’s segmented zones allow for tighter control and customization.
We offer retrofit options for converting a Bulk Storage to a Box Storage.
