Staheli West, located in Cedar City, Utah, manufactures 2 versions of hay steamers. The DewPoint 331 hay steamer is used in the 2-tie, 3-tie, and round bale markets. The DewPoint 6210 is used in the large square bale market. Both machines use a boiler and diesel fired burner to turn water into steam. The steam is applied to the cured hay during the baling process through a series of distribution manifolds mounted onto the baler. The steam is injected into the hay at the pickup of the baler and further as the hay passes through the feed chamber. Steam application during baling significantly reduces leaf loss compared to baling with natural dew and increases the baling windrow for farmers around the world.
