Features
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 the coal and mineral industries for many 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.
Applications – Calibrated for cured hay. Small square balers only.
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-inch square right through the bale, at power levels less than the standards set for a model phone.
Components – The two antennae are mounted on the baler, so as to analyze the hay bale as it exits the baler. The LCD moisture display unite is mounted in the tractor cabin, providing updates every few seconds.
