Inflatable sealing channels

Create the ideal storage climate for your crops

When implementing force-ventilation for large batches of potato and onion storage, it is essential to have a perfect seal. Sidijk’s inflatable sealing channels (also known as air hoses or air sleeves) are the professional standard for creating an airtight climate, ensuring maximum quality of your crops. We offer custom-made horizontal and vertical solutions in all possible lengths, thicknesses, and colors.

Your Partner for Professional Inflatable Sealing Channels

Are you a ventilation specialist or a dealer in agricultural storage solutions? Sidijk is your dedicated partner for high-quality inflatable sealing channels. Our products are engineered for intensive professional use and are designed to fit seamlessly with any existing force-ventilation system.

Create the Optimal Storage Climate with Air Sleeves

The primary advantage of using inflatable sealing channels is the total control over air circulation. This system allows you the freedom to choose between suction and blowing ventilation, depending on your specific needs.

How it works: In potato and onion storage, crates are stacked in long rows with a gap of approximately 50-60 cm. Our air hoses have a slightly larger diameter than this distance, ensuring a 100% airtight seal when inflated. To guarantee a leak-proof performance, every air hose is assembled using high-frequency welding. This precision technology, combined with your ventilation system, creates the ultimate storage environment.

Sustainable Solutions: PFAS-free PP Sealing Channels

In addition to our durable PVC range, we offer a more sustainable alternative made from PP material (polypropylene). This PFAS-free PP option is a fully recyclable solution that offers the same strength and airtight performance as traditional materials. It is the ideal choice for companies looking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on functionality or reliability.

Safety and Ease of Use in the Warehouse

Efficiency goes hand-in-hand with safety. Sidijk optimizes your force-ventilation setup for better occupational health and safety (ARBO). We offer the possibility to mount vertical air sleeves on a rail system, with controls located at floor level. This innovation minimizes the need for staff to work at heights or in hazardous conditions, making daily operations significantly easier.

In short: Sidijk is the leading manufacturer of custom inflatable sealing channels, regardless of the ventilation system you use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inflatable Sealing Channels

1. Why are inflatable sealing channels better than traditional sealing methods?

Inflatable sealing channels provide a flexible and superior airtight seal compared to fixed materials. Because they expand to fit the exact space between crates, they prevent air leakage, ensuring that the force-ventilation reaches the core of your potato or onion stock.

2. Can these air hoses be used for both potatoes and onions?

Yes, our air hoses and air sleeves are specifically designed for bulk crop storage, including potatoes, onions, and other agricultural products that require precise climate control through forced ventilation.

3. What is the benefit of high-frequency welding for sealing channels?

High-frequency welding creates a bond that is stronger than the material itself. Unlike stitching or gluing, this method ensures a completely airtight and durable connection, which is vital for maintaining the pressure required in professional ventilation systems.

4. Is the PFAS-free PP variant as strong as PVC?

Absolutely. Our PFAS-free PP (polypropylene) material is developed to match the strength and performance of traditional PVC. It provides a sustainable, recyclable alternative that stands up to the demanding conditions of industrial storage warehouses.

5. Are Sidijk’s sealing channels available in custom sizes?

Yes, as a manufacturer, Sidijk specializes in custom-made solutions. We can produce inflatable sealing channels in any length or diameter to ensure a perfect fit for your specific crate dimensions and warehouse layout.
