Potato storage
Proper potato storage requires expertise. Potatoes are influenced by several factors during the storage process. The variety, growing conditions in the field, cultivation technique, crop protection, maturity at harvest and harvesting conditions are all factors that influence potato storage.
Once the potatoes are off the land, they should be stored in a room with an optimal climate. Good ventilation is essential for this. Our potato fans can be the perfect solution.
There are various options and installations for optimum potato storage results. Would you like to know what Tolsma-Grisnich can do for you?
Potato storage process
The potato storage process can be divided into various phases. To prevent damage to the potatoes it is important that harvesting and storing are done carefully. Drying, wound healing, cooling and reheating. Cooling the potatoes can start after drying and wound healing. We offer special (mobile) cooling units so that, possibly with outside air ventilation, ideal conditions are created in storage.
