Gazeeka Model 870i Hay Moisture Meter (for ISOBUS)
Benefits
- The largest scanning area available, providing 25 readings per second as bales move between the sensors
- Displays moisture levels in real-time (Instantaneous), Peak (Maximum), and Average.
- G-Link Ready units can integrate with a liquid applicator that adjusts preservative application based on Gazeeka moisture readings.
- Spray unit on both sides to clearly identify potentially hazardous bales.
- Accurate bale-by-bale data collection, accessible live from your smartphone.
High Performance
Moisture content measured accurately and reliably. Based on total moisture (as oven dried), in cured hay.
Proven Technology
Successfully operated in the cotton industry and in coal and minerals for 25+ years, where the precision is typically 0.3% to 0.5%.
For hay, precision can be expected to be ± 0.7% 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 a square foot right through the bale at power levels less than the standards set for mobile phones.
Applications
Calibrated for cured hay. Large square balers only.
