2.  Situated in Aravalli District,Gujarat
 Well connected with roads.
 Environmental conditions are ideal.

3.  Having Capacity of 10000 MT.
 Bag storage system.
 4 chambers each having capacity of storing
50000 bags.
 Frick India Limited -Technical Mentor

4.  Storage is not just about keeping potatoes; it
is about maintaining their quality throughout
the storage period so that it is possible to
deliver consistently, in accordance with the
market specification, at an economic and
sustainable cost to earn a worthwhile return.

5.  An ideal storage environment must be provided
if the tubers are to be
stored for long term.
 Tubers go through four different storage phases
: curing, cooling, long-term storage and
marketing
 Ashapuri Cold store has been designed after
considering these phases.

6.  Maintaining tubers at a desired temperature by exhausting heat of
respiration and circulating cool fresh air throughout.
 Maintain a high relative humidity to promote wound healing at harvest
and to prevent tuber desiccation (shrink),
 Provide oxygen for tuber respiration,
 Remove carbon dioxide, the by-product of respiration
 Deal with adverse storage conditions where the tubers are wet, rotting,
chilled, frozen or too warm.
 Fully Trained Staff

7. There are four factors to consider when
choosing a potato storage design:
 Style of structure,
 Insulation,
 Ventilation and humidification,
 Options such as auxiliary heating or
refrigeration.

8.  Structure is fully brick masonry.
 Insulation:
1.XPS is being used for floor, internal walls and common
walls instead of EPS.
2.For ceiling puff panel.
 Ventilation system consisting of 100 fans. Uniformity
throughout store is assured.
 World class cooling machines
 Heat Exchangers with PVC pipes and ducts.

9.  Humidifiers
 PLC automation for SCADA system
 Fully automized system with required
sensors and control measures.
 Online viewing of data/parameters available.

10.  To minimize loss of mass resulting from
dehydration (moisture loss) and respiration
(dry matter loss).
 At the same time, minimizing accumulation
of reducing sugars in potatoes that can lead
to non-enzymatic browning (an undesirable
browning of the chip colour) during frying.
