Optimum hay drying with our online moisture transmitters: precise determination of water content and temperature in the haystack, supported by robust 2 meter penetration lances, long-term stable sensors, as well as measurement results within seconds and lifelong support
FLSO haystack moisture transmitter
Online moisture transmitter for determining the water content and temperature of hay in the haystack
The FLSO hay moisture transmitter with its two-meter long lance allows easy control of ongoing hay drying. With advanced technology, farmers can monitor the moisture content of their hay in real time, improve forage quality, keep drying costs low and achieve the highest quality at the same time.
Hay moisture is of crucial importance for animal health. It influences the shelf life, nutritional value and digestibility of the feed. Hay that is too dry can become brittle and lose important nutrients, while hay that is too moist promotes mold growth and increases the risk of mycotoxins.
Precise online hay moisture measurement enables farmers to determine the optimum harvest time and ensure that the hay has the right moisture content for maximum quality. This is particularly important as forage quality has a significant impact on animal performance and health.
By investing in the advanced technology of online hay moisture measurement, farmers can significantly improve the quality of their hay. The efficiency of the harvest is increased and the health of the animals is promoted. This is a smart investment that pays off in many ways.
The FLSO hay moisture transmitter was specially developed for the requirements of hay drying. With its robust 2-meter penetration lance and long-term stable sensors, it offers a reliable solution for accurately determining the water content and temperature of the hay.
The split-second measurement results enable farmers to precisely control the drying process and ensure that the hay is dried optimally. This leads to a higher quality of feed and lower losses.
Our dedicated team is available to farmers with a lifetime of support. We are always ready to answer questions and solve problems to ensure that drying processes run smoothly.
Overall, the FLSO hay moisture transmitter enables farmers to ensure the quality of their hay and achieve efficient drying results. The combination of precise online measurement, durable technology and lifetime support makes it a valuable investment for livestock owners and farmers.
Application area
The FLSO hay moisture transmitter can be used for a wide range of agricultural applications. The main areas of application include
- Hay drying: The FLSO hay moisture transmitter allows farmers to monitor the moisture content and temperature of the hay in real time during the drying process. This helps to optimize drying times and maintain forage quality.
- Animal husbandry: The quality of the feed is of crucial importance for the health and performance of the animals. By precisely measuring hay moisture, farmers can ensure that their animals receive high-quality, nutrient-rich feed.
- Mycotoxin prevention: Hay that is too moist promotes mold growth and the formation of harmful mycotoxins in the feed. The FLSO hay moisture transmitter helps to identify hay that is too moist in good time in order to minimize this risk.
- Forage harvesting and storage: Monitoring hay moisture is also important during the harvesting and storage of hay. This helps to maintain the quality of the stored fodder over a longer period of time.
All in all, the FLSO hay moisture transmitter is an indispensable tool for farmers who want to optimize the quality of their hay, promote animal health and ensure efficient drying processes.
