Uniform Drying for Treated Seeds
How the Fluid Bed Dryer Process Works
Applied seed technology is growing rapidly as treatments are added to seed to protect against pests, increase germination rates, and make it more resilient. This means that seeds are now often coated with special chemicals that help them grow better and protect them from harmful insects or diseases. This increases slurry on the seeds, which results in clumping, and ultimately impacts throughput of the facility slowed by tackiness and bridging. In simple terms, the more coating there is on the seed, the stickier they become, which can cause them to clump together and slow down the processing machines, making the entire system less efficient.
A fluid bed dryer stops these problems from arising. The fluid bed dryer application works by gently blowing air through the seeds, which dries the coatings evenly. Fluid bed dryer application allows for gentle drying of the seed and restores flowability for processing and packaging. In other words, after the seeds are dried, they flow smoothly again, making them easier to handle and package, which speeds up production and prevents any delays in your facility. It also creates consistent coverage on the seed, which will lead to better performance and appearance.
After just one use with our fluid bed dryers you can see how the particles are not harmed or damaged in anyway within the drying process. This is because the fluid bed dryer process is designed to treat each seed carefully, using air to dry them without damaging their structure. It is a reliable machine that will prevent your materials form clumping or becoming unmanageable in the future. Overall, with the fluid bed dryer process, you have more control and less waste when it comes to your output of materials.
