A Powerful Approach To
Hay Processing

Powered by the tractor's electrical and hydraulic system, the DewPoint 632 utilizes a diesel oil burner and boiler system, resulting in the production of high-quality steam. This steam is then channeled through hoses into custom manifolds mounted on the baler where it is injected into the dry crop material during baling. The DewPoint 632 is primarily used with large square balers.

Staheli West's DewPoint Steamers offer a practical solution for hay farmers looking to optimize their harvests, reduce baling losses, and increase the overall value of their product.

How it Works

The DewPoint 632 generates steam which is injected into hay windrows. The machine is powered by the electrical and hydraulic system of the tractor. A diesel oil burner heats water inside the boiler to produce steam. This steam is transferred through hoses into custom manifolds mounted on the baler. The operator controls the steam rate and distribution in the baler.

Enhanced User-Interface

The DewPoint 632 boasts a new in-cab display that offers enhanced visibility. Featuring a new design, the interface includes a convenient steam on/off button, a large twist knob for effortless steam adjustment, and steam ratio preset options tailored for different baling conditions. Operating the DewPoint 632 is now simpler and more intuitive than ever.

Baler Steam Manifolds

Steam produced by the DewPoint 632 is injected into the hay as it is lifted from the windrow by the baler pickup and further as it passes through the feed chamber of the baler. The treatment of the hay is accomplished by injecting steam through a series of distribution manifolds mounted in the baler. Bale moisture is monitored continuously and adjustments to the steam injection rate are made by the machine operator as needed to maintain desired bale moisture conditions at all times.

Moisture Sensor

Typically, a Gazeeka Moisture Sensor is used when baling with steam. The Gazeeka is a non-contact moisture sensor that uses high frequency electromagnetic waves that are transmitted between two antennae. These waves pass through the entire width of the bale and give operators an accurate bale moisture reading in real time right in the tractor cab. By using the moisture readings from the Gazeeka, operators of the DewPoint 632 can adjust steam rates to meet their desired moisture level and produce a consistent product.

Cutting-Edge Operating System

The DewPoint 632 incorporates an entirely new operating system that streamlines functionality. Eliminating the need for generators and high-voltage components, the system now relies on the tractor hydraulic system to power the burner fan motor and feedwater pump and the 12v electrical system of the tractor to power the machine’s sensors and electrical components.

Extended Run Times

With an expanded water capacity of 200 gallons, the DewPoint 632 offers approximately 20% longer run times compared to previous models. This extended operation time reduces downtime and increases baling efficiency.

Enhanced Efficiency and Consistency

The DewPoint 632 features a state-of-the-art boiler design that optimizes heat exchange, enhancing overall efficiency and heat transfer. The system also includes a self-tuning burner for intelligent air-fuel ratio regulation, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and cleaner burns. The DewPoint 632 guarantees consistent steam pressure for superior results.

Streamlined Maintenance Design

The DewPoint 632 introduces an innovative design that simplifies maintenance and servicing. Toolless access to regular maintenance components reduces downtime, resulting in increased operational hours and reduced maintenance costs.

Elevated Chassis for Improved Clearance

With a higher chassis, the DewPoint 632 offers improved crop clearance, particularly beneficial when baling heavy windrows.

What Can The
STEAMER DEW FOR YOU?

Staheli West's DewPoint technology is revolutionizing the hay industry. Harnessing the power of steam for baling offers a multitude of advantages that can enhance your farm's profitability and elevate the quality of life for both you and your team. Discover the numerous ways in which baling with steam can positively impact your farm.

Steam is the hot gas that forms from water when it is boiled. 1 Gallon of water produces approximately 1,700 Gallons of steam. Unlike water particles in the liquid state, steam particles are widely separated and are free to move randomly. When injected steam contacts dry crop material it instantly condenses and bonds with other water molecules in the vicinity, which causes instant absorption into the dry crop material. Steam particles can penetrate through the tiny pores in plant material more effectively than water and soften the hay without making it too wet. This is the reason the DewPoint system works so efficiently.

Baling hay too dry significantly lowers the nutritional and financial value of hay. Marketing is much easier when your bales are consistent from the first to the last. Your customers will know what to expect every time, and some hay buyers will pay more for steamed hay. Even with some rain damage, farmers using steam during baling are still able to soften the brittle hay and produce a higher-grade of hay.

The DewPoint 632 lowers the risk of crop value loss due to rain or baling in overly dry conditions. How many tons of hay do you bale too dry each year? Farmers without steamers are often faced with the decision to bale hay too dry to beat storms, or wait, risking further crop value loss. If the hay is cured, you can bale it with optimal steam moisture. We’ve had customers bale over 500 acres in one day to beat impeding storms.

In many areas, farmers utilizing DewPoint technology have seen increases in their last cutting yields. This is because most farmers can now bale whenever their hay is dry. They can cut, rake, bale their hay, and get water back on their fields quicker. This adds valuable growing days when the weather is warmest. Added growing days means that farmers will realize higher yields at the end of the year. This is just another way the DewPoint 632 can pay for itself.
