Key Features: Efficient Protection & Smart Expansion for Modern Agriculture
Hay Protection System
To ensure optimal quality preservation, our Hay Storage Barns are equipped with several high-performance protection features:
- Dual-Channel Air Circulation System: The roof vent and adjustable side wall louver windows create optimal airflow, preventing moisture buildup and mold, keeping hay dry and fresh.
- UV-Resistant Roof Coating: The roof features ASTM G154 certified UV-resistant coating with a reflectivity ≥85%, significantly reducing UV damage to hay and lowering vitamin loss by up to 30%, preserving essential nutrients.
- Ground Moisture Barrier: A 1.2mm thick HDPE material forms an effective moisture barrier, preventing ground moisture from seeping into the barn and ensuring dry hay storage.
Smart Expansion Features
In addition to superior protection, Hay Storage Barns offer flexible, modern solutions for expanding storage needs:
- IoT Sensor Interface: Pre-installed interfaces for temperature, humidity, and CO2 monitoring sensors, allowing real-time environmental monitoring to ensure optimal storage conditions.
- Modular Expansion Design: Modular components allow for easy and unlimited expansion of the barn, adapting to growing storage demands.
- Agricultural Equipment Loading Dock: The adjustable unloading dock (1.8-3.5m height range) fits various agricultural machinery, facilitating quick and efficient unloading.
