Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to our regular feature on AgriCompact hay dryers.
What you see today is alfalfa dried around 15 October 2026, from a sixth cutting. This is, of course, a particularly challenging product to dry. However, with our latest-generation drying systems, even the most demanding challenges can be successfully overcome.
Our customer is not a forage trader, but a major livestock farm in the Province of Parma, Italy. The farm operates two 48-bale dryers, one 60-bale dryer, and a 48-bale buffer chamber.
This impressive installation enables the farm to dry approximately 5,000 tonnes of forage per year.
And just look at the results!
The quality is excellent: premium-grade alfalfa with outstanding analytical results. The bales you see here were produced from forage with an initial moisture content of approximately 50%, while laboratory analyses showed a protein content of around 26%.
These results demonstrate the importance of technology, process control, and the ability to preserve and enhance the value of even the most challenging forage crops.
This is the value of AgriCompact technology: innovative solutions, remote monitoring and control, and heat recovery, all designed to optimise the drying process and help reduce operating costs.
Because drying is about more than simply removing moisture: it is about preserving the value of your forage.
