Online Monitoring for Hay Drying
The Humimeter FLSO Hay Moisture Transmitter from Schaller delivers precise, real-time measurement of water content and temperature directly in the haystack, which is a gamechanger for modern hay drying and feed quality management.
Equipped with a robust 2-metre lance, this online transmitter enables farmers and agricultural professionals to continuously monitor drying processes without guesswork or frequent manual sampling.
Specially engineered for hay drying applications, the FLSO provides instant readings within seconds using long-term stable sensors. Data is transmitted via reliable 4-20 mA analogue outputs for seamless integration into control systems, allowing immediate adjustments to ventilation, turning, or drying duration.
Ensure hay reaches the ideal moisture level, preserving nutritional value, digestibility, and shelf life while minimising energy costs and preventing quality losses.
By maintaining optimal moisture (avoiding over-drying that makes hay brittle or under-drying that risks mould and mycotoxins), the FLSO safeguards animal health, boosts feed efficiency, and supports sustainable farming practices.
With automatic temperature compensation and lifetime support from Schaller, this transmitter offers dependable performance and peace of mind throughout the hay season and beyond.
