Why using a hay steamer?
Unfortunately coughing, equine asthma, allergies and COPD have become more and more present over the past years in the horse stable.
A very important point in fighting against these diseases and problems is good hay, that is free of fungal spores, dust and mold.
But even hay of very good quality always contains a certain amount of it. And once the lung of the horse has been sensitized on it, you can recognize a „memory effect“. That means, that even small amounts of dust, mold or fungal spores can cause heavy problems.
A hay steamer eliminates up to 99 % of these unwanted hay ingredients. But – in comparison to washed hay – it does not loose it`s valuable nutriants.
And even horses that do not show symptoms at the moment, have a huge benefit from steamed hay, because fungal spores, dust and mold a bad for every lung.
How is the hay steamer built?
All main elements of the Summerwind mobile hay steamer are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has the advantage over all other materials used by various suppliers in that it is absolutely durable, stable, heat-resistant, hygienic and easy to clean. The material therefore meets all the requirements that we need for equipment in riding stables. We do not consider plastic, Styrofoam and aluminum to be suitable for use in conjunction with hay steaming.
At the bottom of the steamer there is a 40l / 30l / 25l (varies depending on the model) water tank, which is filled using a hose connection. Depending on how often the steam is used, the tank must be refilled approximately once a week. A water level indicator provides information about the water level. If the water level is too low, the device switches off automatically.
Once the device is turned on, water is gradually vaporized using heating coils located along the bottom of the cart. The steam is led into the interior of the car through slots along the floor.
Depending on how long you steam, the hay is either moistened or sterilized at around 90 degrees.
A normal power connection is usually sufficient. Upon customer request, we also offer the large model with 9KW, which has the advantage that steaming is around 50% faster.
The new Summerwind hay steamer for round bales
The field of horse health has always had a high priority for Summerwind. Additionally to our newest product developement, the Summerwind sole box, we will soon launch another important product treading the topic of cough and respiratory diseases.
Expected to be ready for production within this summer, Summerwind presents an innovative hay steamer, that will be produced due to the customer`s wishes.
The steaming of hay is a very easy and at the same time effective solution against couphing that is triggered by dust. But only a few hay steamers can generate big quantities of germ-free and dust-free hay in a short time.
In contrast to most hay steamers on the market, the Summerwind hay steamer is made for bigger stables, that have to steam large quantities of hay and therefore need a high performance hay steamer.
The Summerwind hay steamer can steam round bales up to a size of 1,60m diameter within 3 hours. The hay steamer produces a temperature of round about 90 degrees celsius.
After the steaming process the hay should be feeded within 48 hours. Therefore the hay steamer is suitable for stables with at least 35 horses. Ideally all horses should be feeded with the steamed hay, so the dust, mold and fungal spores are completly banned out of the stable .
