Overview

The Hay Hound 180s hay moisture meter is engineered for small square balers, featuring versatile mounting options to accommodate most baler types. It also includes a user-friendly touchscreen interface for easy operation. It gives you a repeatable trend of your baseline moisture and changes that may occur during the baling process, like moisture increase, density and mass increase or foreign objects present in the bale.

  • Bale confidently knowing the Hay Hound will let you know when to stop and check your bales
  • Audible alarm for high moisture index
  • Measures: Maximum (peak) and Average moisture index

The Hay Hound 180 integrates Gazeeka’s large square microwave moisture testing technology into small square hay production, making it the ideal choice for achieving consistent quality and performance.

Gazeeka Hay Hound 180s

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 index in real-time, Peak (Maximum), and Average. These measurements are based on a user defined sampling time.

High Performance

Moisture index measured repeatably 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%.

Non-Contact

Very low energy – high frequency electromagnetic waves are transmitted between two antennas 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.
