The Drum Dragon 200 system generates continuous combustion-free hot water from the aeration exhaust of an aerobic rotary drum compost system, reducing propane use on the farm for milk-parlor washing.
“We installed the composting drum last year, and I kept looking at all that hot exhaust steam coming out of the drum, thinking there must be something we can do with that heat, and then we learned about Agrilab Technologies,” says Jeff Dunklee, co-owner of Vern-Mont Farm. “We’re impressed with how quickly and easily this Drum Dragon system was installed by Agrilab Technologies, but we’re even more impressed by the 150°F hot water the system is sending to our milk parlor.”
