HOP DRYERS/KILNS
At GBM Custom Machine & Fab, Inc., we know that the hop drying process needs to be efficient and reliable. Our hop dryers are constructed using high-grade materials and designed to meet your specific needs. The roll off pipe system simplifies the process of transferring dry hops to the store room. Additionally, we offer a traditional block wall design or double panel insulated wall system with conventional materials or Insulated Metal Panels (IMP), which guarantees faster heat-up and quicker cool-down times improving efficiency.

HOP BALERS
Our Hop Baler is designed to make hop baling faster and easier, without compromising on safety or quality. Our innovative one-down plunging system has a cycle time capable of producing 30 bales per hour, giving hop growers a significant boost in productivity. But we also offer a traditional two-down system, ensuring that our baler meets the diverse needs of hop growers. Trust our baler to save you time and hassle during your harvest season.
WEIGH BOX
Our weigh box is designed to be user-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient for all your hop baling needs. Through the use of our wide even-flow conveyors, we provide a more consistent fill creating the squarest hop bales in the industry. The load cell system has the ability to respond to the weight of hops in the box, controlling the computer-driven conveyors resulting quicker fill rates and cycle times. You can rest assured that we take pride in providing solutions that increase productivity and minimize downtime.
MINI BALER
We know that space constraints shouldn’t impact your growing business. Now there is a compact hop baler that can handle smaller volumes of hops without sacrificing results. We can import balers or custom build one for your specific needs. Using the latest technology, this equipment compacts hops into smaller bales for efficient storage and transport.
