Hay dairy farm in Bavaria with dehumidifier and roof extraction system

Josef and Peter Schinaggl run a 70-hectare organic farm and have been producing hay milk for the Andechser dairy since 2017. A hay barn was built to create space for the hay. There are two 200 m2 hay barns for drying and storage.
A high-performance dehumidifier is used to dry the hay in bad weather or at night. This is automatically requested via the control system and has a maximum power consumption of 32 kW. When the weather is fine, the drying air is extracted via the roof extraction system. The total roof area is 700m2 and provides up to 280 kW of heat output. A 30 kW high-power ice fan supplies the 200m2 hay box with drying air.
