Flow testing system for seed coating evaluation
Ensure accurate seed flow assessment in coating processes, detecting changes in flow characteristics critical for achieving optimal seed treatments.
Measures and Tests Seed Flow Characteristics
The FT Flowtester from Hoopman Equipment & Engineering is a precise bench-top flow measurement system designed specifically for seed processing applications. This manual apparatus allows you to test and weigh the flow characteristics of seeds before and after coating, drying, or conditioning. Simply place the seed material into the hopper, set the valve’s opening time, and observe as the system facilitates accurate flow testing, allowing you to detect any variations in seed behavior. Ideal for agricultural, seed processing, and horticultural industries, it plays a crucial role in ensuring that seeds are optimally conditioned for further processing. Adaptable for laboratory and processing departments, the FT Flowtester ensures compatibility with various container sizes and supports effective production line integration.
