Gazeeka Model 180s Moisture Gauge

Benefits

  • The largest scanning area available, providing 25 readings per second as bales move between the sensors.
  • The new 3.5” touchscreen enhances functionality and provides clear communication of operating status.
  • Displays moisture levels in real-time (Instantaneous), Peak (Maximum), and Average.

High Performance

Moisture content measured accurately and reliably. Based on total moisture (as oven dried), in cured hay.

Proven Technology

Successfully operated in the hay (large square), cotton industry and in coal and minerals for 25+ years, where the precision is typically 0.3% to 0.5%.
For the Model 180, precision can be expected to be ± 1.2% on cured hay.

Non-Contact

Very low energy – high frequency electromagnetic waves are transmitted between two antennae positioned in a non-contact configuration for ease of operation. The measuring “area” is approximately 6” square right through the bale, at power levels less than the standards set for mobile phones.

Applications

Calibrated for cured hay. Small square balers only.
