63 Promotional Supplement Hay & Forage | April 2024 Chinook Hay Dryers were developed to maximize the quality of your hay, increase your productivity and to reduce weather risk. Chinook Hay Dryers were created by hay farmers for hay farmers. While some other hay drying units push air up into the hay bale, Chinook Hay Dryers have a patented 120 spike per bale system, which injects air up from the bottom and down from the top at the same time. This allows for better air distribution and faster, more even drying. There are so many variables when it comes to hay harvesting, especially in climates with high precipitation. Chris Martin, an entrepreneur from Alma, ON, is a hay farmer himself. He, along with his business partners, developed Chinook Hay Systems. Chris saw many farmers (including himself) lose significant percentages of their quality crop due to mold and spoilage. He also knows the benefits of high quality hay and higher nutrient levels for the livestock.

When a GENSET is used to power the Chinook Hay Dryer, a 40’ sea container can be used to shelter the GENSET, heating elements, dryer blower, and hydraulic power unit. These components are laid out so that all the heat that is generated is captured and used in the hay drying process. The container comes pre-wired and inspected, making installation hassle-free.
