Batch drying system for pelleted products
Achieve precise moisture control and rapid drying for encrusted and pelleted seeds with a compact, automated batch system designed to minimize cross-contamination and optimize the coating process.
Dries and Coats Seeds with Moisture Precision
The BDS Batch Drying System from Hoopman Equipment & Engineering is a fluidised bed solution tailored for encrusted and pelleted seed processing, combining drying and coating in a single, compact unit. By employing a fluidised bed principle, it ensures rapid drying and precise moisture control with real-time weighing capabilities. This system is capable of processing up to 1800 liters per hour with batch containment advantages, ideal for producing encrusted alfalfa seeds, pelleted grass seeds, and coated vegetable seeds. Designed for seamless integration, it operates fully automated to enhance traceability and batch management. The rotating mechanism ensures zero cross-contamination by completely emptying between batches. Its compact design addresses the traditionally high costs of comparable systems, making it an efficient choice for seed producers, agricultural companies, and the pelleting and coating industries. Real-time humidity control keeps operations consistent, while the 180-degree rotation enhances cleaning efficiency and minimization of downtime.
