Seed drying system for large volume coated seeds

Achieve precise moisture control in your seed processing operations with a fluid-bed drying system designed for high-capacity batches, ensuring consistent quality and optimal seed treatment results.

Dries and Fluidizes Coated and Treated Seeds

The BD300 Box Drying 300L by Hoopman Equipment & Engineering is designed for high-capacity drying of seeds, especially engineered for maximizing efficiency in seed processing and treatment facilities. Utilizing a fluid-bed drying approach, the BD300 ensures optimal moisture reduction and fluidization for uniform drying of coated, pelleted, and treated seeds. This robust system tackles moisture monitoring with integrated load-cells to provide real-time data throughout the drying process. A key feature is its removable stainless steel drying box, allowing seamless integration with existing hot-water treatment plants and enabling simultaneous loading and drying. The PLC and HMI controls offer precise protocol settings, including multi-step drying with variables like fan speed adjustments to minimize energy consumption. The BD300 excels in flexibility and utility, designed to handle diverse applications in agriculture, horticulture, and seed processing industries, while its stainless-steel construction enhances durability and resistance to corrosion.

Benefits
