Build your own commercial-grade dryer using Modular Floor Panels from HopsHarvester™.
Implementing an effective drying process is a challenge for most farms due to varying environmental and production conditions.
A multi-tier vertical drying system is a scalable solution for increasing drying capacity, conserves floor space, and may be configured as needed to dry small or large batches.
Unlike other prescribed drying systems that are expensive and offer limited flexibility, a custom-built dryer provides better control of operations, product quality, and is simple to construct with Modular Floor Panels.
Each panel consists of “trap-door” style gates that mix and result in uniform moisture-content when transferring product from one level to the next. The gates eliminate the need for repeated positioning of shelves, bins, or raking required by other drying methods.

Also Available Through HopsHarvester
Hopster Harvester
Hopster portable harvesters provide the freedom for small farms to harvest when hops are at their peak. Available as a PTO-powered implement (Hopster 5P) or as a self-powered unit with gasoline motor (Hopster 5G), hops can now be picked and cleaned in the field with less hassle than transporting bines to a facility, and at speeds up to 100x faster than picking by hand.
20-lb and 100-lb Balers
Make 20- or 100-lb bales easily and affordably with a B20 or B100 hop baler. Small farms now have an effective way to package hops after drying and to conserve cold-storage space when preparing delivery to brewers or processors. These hydraulic balers may be powered by tractor, shop supply, or optional power unit, and are built to be easily shared and transported between farms. The B100 baler may be set up with a feed-conveyor for high-volume production.
