AgroDome
Innovative Storage Solution

INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
With great experience in air domes and in cooperation with other companies in agro
sector, DUOL has developed entirely new food-processing solution.
DUOL provides turn-key food storing solution equipped with high-tech food processing
technology. Due to innovative design DUOL agro domes are always cost effective, with
quick assembly and disassembly time and can be used both as temporary/movable or
permanent solution.

DUOL IS MOVING WAREHOUSES
TO CROPS
Price of crops largely dependent on yearly seasons: • Seasonal / geographical
• cereal growing is not only focus unbalanced storage capacities
• very important is to store crops for longer time • Complicated to quickly install
• Seasonal / geographical variations of crops harvest or relocate storage capacities
• Mobile
AgroDome: Innovative storing solutions • Fast&Easy install / dismantle
• Modular

TRANSPORTABLE
1. Fast & Easy Dismantling Compact size: 2. Storing or Truck Loading

Low volume, Low weight
3. Relocation

QUICK INSTALLATION
Fast, easy and cost-effective assembling:
• 5-7 days,
• team of several people,
• with a minimal set of equipment
1. Foundations preparing: 3-5 days 2. Membrane installing: 2-3 day
3. AgroDome inflating: 3 hours 4. Installing Storage systems: 1-2 day

FLEXIBLE ANCHORAGE SYSTEM
Light foundation is only needed (foundation acting as weight ballast),

which is prepared in 3-5 days.
Easy and quick installing/dismantling/re-instaling (repeatedly).
Easy and quick to relocate complete system in another location.
Possible to anchor on very different ground types.

MODULARITY
Flexible installation depends on seasonal expectations.

WEATHER PROOF DESIGN
• Up to 50 m/s wind load

• Up to 480 kg/m2 snow load
• Temperature range from -60 to +70°C
• UV resistant
Design advantages:
• Smooth, slippery surface – snow easily slips down
• Low surface thermal footprint: Low S/V ratio of dome design
• Lowest air leakage: Air dome is an air-tight structure – Reduce energy

minimal loss of inside controlled atmosphere to outside consumption
• Factory already built-in thermal insulation

HIGH PROFITABILITY
Cost-effective building solution

Low cost due to lack of frame, trusses and beams.
Quick investment return

Low price of structure and fast construction time provide quick return of investment.
Average payback period of structure is 2.5 years.
High investment return

Long service life of AgroDome - average lifetime is +40 years – which provides high
investment return.

EASY MAINTENANCE
Easy maintenance
• For AgroDome maintenance, 1 service person is enough
• Easy controlling computer interface

• Supervision from everywhere - Mobile network access

TURN-KEY INSTALLATION
The ventilation system is an integral part We carry out the selection and delivery of
of modern storage facility and on how it any equipment you need (conveyors,
works, it depends the safety and quality automatic loading / unloading, telescopic
of the crops. loaders, sorting and inspection lines, etc. ).
We can provide a proven ventilation
system, which will work with a warranty.

• System of 6 air domes, each dimensions 36,6 m x 32,6 m

• 1 central air dome for logistic operation, 5 for storage
• Air domes are connected with each other by tunnels
• Potato storage, total of approx. 10,000 t
• Providing specific storage conditions – humidity, temperature, ventilation, CO2 ...
• Maintaining the desired internal temperature ( 8-9 °C ), when outdoor is >-55 °
• All equipment adapted for temp. >-55 °C, snow, rain, wind …
• Quick assembly and disassembly, assembly time 2 weeks
• Possibility of a relocation of the complete system

AgroMembraneTM
Innovative AgroMembraneTM :
• For use in food processing Industry
• Food-safe and environmentally friendly
• Perfect climate control even in extreme conditions (temperature range from -60 to +70)
Custom-designed Frost, heat, UV, weeds and

membrane formulation, insects protection
including cutting-edge FPA
copolymers, for excellent
membrane folding
characteristics
Anti-fog design: Inner

membrane is coated with
special Anti-fog additives, thus
it avoids phenomenon of
Antifungal and antibacterial fogging and dripping from
treatment of inner membrane (anti-condensation
membrane / thermal film).
Double Membrane Insulation Wall
Double membrane system without thermal bridges:

• Special design of membrane – No thermal bridge
• Lower heat transfer coefficient (U)
• StatAirTM – More Static Air
• Reduce condense
• Structural safety design (made from partitions)
• Low internal operation overpressure
• Fit to use up to -60C (Certificate)

Improved control technology
 State-of-the-art communication platform

 Remote monitor and control
 User-friendly and Reliable
Best possible storage climate control. Automatic control of:

• fans
• hatches
• heaters
• and mechanical cooling
based on
• temperature
• relative humidity
• and CO2 concentration

From calculation, you can see that heat loss of AgroDome is 5% lower than hall heat loss. That is because AgroDome has more optimal shape, so that ratio volume/outer
surface is better. Electricity consumption is for hall 40% lower because in summer months when heating is not needed ventilation doesn’t operate for hall. Altogether, energy
consumption for AgroDome is only 15% higher.
