  • Isolate potential wet spots as you bale.
  • Bale without stopping to check moisture levels.
  • Displays: Instantaneous, Maximum (Peak) and Average moisture.
  • Spray unit on both sides to mark high moisture bales.

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.
