- The dehydration facility uses a natural gas fired burner
system, a cooling system and baling system.
- The Dehy plant allows us to harvest premium quality Timothy hay
in all but the harshest weather conditions.
- The Timothy hay arrives at the plant in round bale
form, is detwined, and separated into a loose mass through a bale slicing system.
- The
loose mass is then metered evenly into the single pass rotary drum dryer.
- A negative
air system pulls the Timothy hay out of the drum into a cyclone where the hay and air are separated
and then the hay is placed evenly on a cooling bed system.
- After cooling, the Timothy hay is
then baled and stacked.
- The system dries Timothy hay from 40% to 12% moisture at a rate of 20 metric tonne/hour
without damaging or degrading the product.
- The square baled Timothy hay then proceeds into storage until it
can be double compressed and shipped.
- PRT has the option of doing single compressed or double compressed bales through this process.
- It can produce a 500kg or 1000kg compressed bale.
