Integrated coater and dryer for fragile seeds
When coating fragile seeds such as cucumber, melon, or beans, traditional rotary coating methods can often cause damage. Additionally, achieving high slurry loads while ensuring gentle handling and effective drying is crucial for maintaining seed integrity.
Combines coating and drying in a seamless process
The ICD from Hoopman Equipment is a turn-key system designed for gentle handling of fragile seeds and high slurry loads. Unlike traditional rotary coating methods, the ICD employs a more delicate process that minimizes damage to seeds.
