Hay drying and hay ventilation in the hay box
Every hay drying system is different and is therefore planned individually by us. Calculating the required box floor area is a small but important step. For the best drying results, comprehensive advice and planning is carried out on site.
The heart of our drying system is the hay box. We calculate the grate height to suit the maximum water absorption of the air as it flows through the hay. The inlet nozzle is also calculated to match this. This ensures very even air distribution in the hay box, resulting in uniform drying without moisture pockets.
Hay drying hall - 3D scheme
The following diagram provides an overview of the technical implementation options for a hay drying system. In addition to various hay drying boxes, it also shows a gill plate drying system for drying grain, maize, wood chips, etc. as well as a round bale drying system. The diagram also shows the use of various drying devices such as dehumidifiers or hot air heating.
Hay ventilation with roof extraction
The construction of a roof extraction system for hay drying is very economical in terms of drying costs. The roof extraction system supplies the fan with free drying air when the sun is shining – for decades.
In addition to roof extraction, we recommend a dehumidifier or a heat source to bridge periods of bad weather.
The hot air heaters we build and sell under the name Landritherm were originally developed for hay drying and are therefore particularly suitable.
