Description

DSE4200 Microwave Baler Moisture Meter – Professional Moisture Monitoring System

Part Number: DSE4200

The DSE4200 is an advanced microwave-based moisture measurement system designed for professional farmers and agricultural contractors who demand precise moisture monitoring during baling operations. This non-contact technology measures moisture content through the entire bale, providing accurate real-time data that helps optimize baling efficiency and bale quality.

System Components: Complete kit includes microwave transmitter, receiver, and in-cabin display unit for real-time monitoring.

How It Works: The transmitter sends microwave signals through the bale while the receiver measures signal attenuation caused by water molecules in the material. This data is instantly converted to moisture percentage and displayed in the tractor cabin. The system measures up to 13,000 cm³ of material with each pressure stroke, calculating average moisture content across the entire bale cross-section.

Key Advantages:

Extended Baling Time – Continue baling up to 1 hour longer in the evening, even after dewfall. Unlike contact-based meters that only measure surface moisture, DSE4200 measures through the entire bale depth, detecting the drier material in the windrow center.

Accurate Whole-Bale Measurement – Measures moisture throughout the complete bale, not just the surface. Detects wet spots, identifies moist field areas, and reveals inbound moisture in stems like winter barley straw.

No Manual Testing Required – Automatic measurements with every press stroke eliminate the need to stop and manually check moisture levels. Monitor real-time and average moisture values directly from the tractor cabin.

Intelligent Alarm System – Configurable moisture limit alerts help prevent baling overly wet material, reducing the risk of mold and spoilage.
