Microwave Sensor location is key
The microwave sensors can be mounted in two different locations, depending on the use needed.
For using microwave with preservative application, the sensors are located in the precompression chamber, closer to the pickup where the preservative is applied, and decreasing the lag time between sensing and applying. The sensors read the entire flake as it passes into the chamber

For operators that are running Staheli DewPoint Steamers and just want to know moisture, the two sensors are mounted in the back of the bale chamber. This allows for an accurate artificial moisture reading without the interference from the steam being applied at the front of the baler.
