Contexte

Several of Sweden’s agricultural goods processing industries are today burdened with large, capital intensive processing facilities that stand idle for a large part of the year, resulting in high fixed costs within the industry. Sweden’s sugar beet and starch potato processing facilities are typically idle for eight months in the year.

Objectives

The innovation is an easily managed mobile system for active ventilation and temperature control of field clamps. Regulated ventilation can use colder night air to maintain low field clamp temperature, suggesting that Sweden’s climate is conducive to the concept. Preliminary modelling suggests that the length of storage and thus processing could be extended by 30 days without substantial risk of increased in-store losses.

Objectives

Innovationen går ut på att aktivt ventilera och styra temperaturen i stukor på det enskilda fältet med mobila system. Den positiva effekten av ventilering bygger på att det finns kall nattluft att kyla med, vilket talar för att konceptet kunde fungera i Sverige. Teoretiska beräkningar utifrån väderdata indikerar att lagringskampajerna borde kunna förlängas med omkring 30 dagar utan att påverka lagringsförlusterna negativt.

Activities

Sweden’s sugar beet and starch potato processing facilities are typically idle for eight months in the year. The limited ability to store these crops is the major constraint on processing. Extended crop storage is one of the key links in the chain between farmer and processor and has great potential to increase industry productivity to the benefit of all actors.

Activities

Typiskt så står Sveriges socker- och stärkelsefabriker stilla 8 månader om året. Ett effektivt sätt att minska fasta kostnader och att öka lantbrukarnas tillgång till sen säsong incitament skulle vara att utnyttja vårt kalla klimat för att minska lagringsförlusterna och förlänga kampanjerna.
