The DewPoint Generates Steam Using a Low-Pressure Boiler System

The DewPoint 6210 generates steam using a diesel-fired burner and a low-pressure boiler system. Steam is a very effective moisture medium for controlled hydration of the hay during the baling process. 1 gallon of water will produce approximately 1700 gallons of steam at sea level (more at higher elevations), which allows every leaf and stem in the crop to be treated without becoming too wet. Hay producers using steam can bale hay any time of the day or night without the need for natural dew.

There is nothing better than receiving a perfect natural dew when baling. However, perfect dew conditions are few and far between for many hay producers. Often, the hay is either too dry or too wet, and if you’re lucky, you may have a small window of opportunity when the hay is just right. Hay producers working in arid, dry climates are often faced with the decision to either bale dry hay, which will shatter the leaves, or continue to wait for natural dew, risking further loss of quality. Hay producers working in climates where it’s often too wet to bale at night or who receive good dew at night still experience large amounts of time during the day when the hay is too dry to bale. Being able to bale with steam when the hay is dry opens up the baling window and allows you to be so much more productive.
With steam, farmers can bale quality hay whenever their hay is dry, which increases their baling window and makes them more productive. One DewPoint-equipped baler can replace 3-4 conventional balers depending on local atmospheric conditions. That means less capital, fewer maintenance expenses, and lower labor costs. Replicated university studies have proven that mechanical leaf loss using the DewPoint is about 1/2 of the typical leaf loss which occurs when baling with good natural dew. The preservation of this valuable component of the forage can not only offset the operating costs of the DewPoint but also boost profitability. The DewPoint increases your hay value. Marketing is much easier when your bales are consistent from the first to the last. Your customers will know what to expect every time. With steam, a farmer can expect to have good bale compaction, increased leaf retention, and a bale that has good smell and color. Farmers with a DewPoint steamer can cut, rake, bale their hay and get the water back on their fields quicker, which adds valuable growing days when the weather is warmest. Added growing days means that farmers receive higher yields on their last cuttings.
