Chia seeds have ancient origins and are native to Central America, where they have been consumed for centuries. The chia plant, scientifically known as Salvia hispanica, is a member of the mint family and is native to regions of Mexico and Guatemala. After harvesting the seeds must be thoroughly cleaned and then dried. The sieving process comes next and is important to remove any further impurities. Full of dietary fiber chia seeds make a great addition to smoothies and breakfast puddings.

The average corn cob has 800 kernels, but each of those comes from one tiny grain. The quality of corn farming rests on the conditions of foundation lots. And these depend on the integrity of the process. Corn seed processing equipment prepares the grains so they can grow into multiple products ranging from food to energy to cosmetics.

You process flax seeds to produce linseed oil, which is used as a preservative finish for wooden materials like varnishes or paints. People also consume flax seeds as a whole seed or ground. Flax seeds production goes through drying, de-hulling or milling, and separation processes to extract the kernels, which are cleaned and ready for consumption. For oil extraction of seeds, you need to further process the kernels by pressing and refining.

Hemp, as a plant, can be used to produce textiles, organic compost, fuel, and even food. The main processes of the hemp seed are sieving, grading, and dehulling or removal of the shell that covers the seeds. For these processes to happen, hemp farmers will need suitable processing equipment. These seeds can be used to create an oil with a by-product known as hemp cake or hemp meal. This by-product is used as a base substance for producing hemp protein powder. It is due to these by-products that the hemp industry is constantly growing globally.

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Extracting sugar from beets became popular in continental Europe during the Napoleonic Wars due to the British blockades of cane sugar. This is thanks to the high sugar content derived from this crop. Also known by its scientific name, "beta vulgaris", The beets’ popularity steadily rose afterwards and today, 20% of all sugar in the world comes from beets. But all of this can't be possible without its seeds. The production and processing of sugar beet seeds includes different steps such as cleaning, priming, pelleting and coating.

The classification of sunflower seeds changes according to the pattern of its shell or hull. If the shell is solid black, it is an oilseed sunflower. With these, you produce sunflower oil. If the shell is striped, it is a non-oil sunflower seed or confectionery sunflower seed. These usually become snack food products. Whether to make them as snacks or oil, processing sunflower seeds include steps like drying, screening and cleaning, grading, roasting and de-hulling, flavoring, grinding, pressing, refining, and packing.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Whether for personal consumption or agricultural purposes, you process seeds to make them clean and maximize yield. Seed processing equipment includes the steps of polishing, threshing, separation, sorting, and drying. Some cases require additional processes. For example, the extraction of the seed from fruits or vegetables. Or, pressing the seed to extract oil.

Continuous milling is a flow production method used to grind materials without interruption. It is often used in the production of foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. The material to be processed flows in at one end and the milled output flows out at the other in a continuous process. By choosing the right combination of milling technology and processing power you can obtain the desired particle size distribution in an uninterrupted stream.

Continuous milling solutions

A pellet mill is a type of mill used to make small, round, compressed, pellets from powdered materials. Selection of a suitable pellet mill requires consideration of the desired pellets size and shape, nature of the material to be processed, ease of cleaning, and the scale and mode of pellet production. In the animal feed and pet food industries, pellet presses are used to combine various nutritional ingredients into each pellet. In biomass combustion, a pellet mill is used to increase bulk density and provide a consistent, easy-to-handle input product made from raw materials such as sawdust.

Almost all manufacturers will require industrial storage systems and solutions at some point during their production process. The raw materials that go into your products need dedicated storage solutions to protect them from spoilage and contamination before they enter the manufacturing cycle. Storage usually refers to particular storage space. For example, having enough warehouse storage. Or clearing out a production facility for more floor space.  However, in this case, we are referring to the equipment and solutions that make storage manageable and easier. Such equipment includes solutions such as storage racks, pallet racks and shelving systems. These are just some of many storage options available to manufacturers. Advanced technology facilitates the management of heavy duty and high density tank and silo systems by automating the delivery system and linking it with the rest of the production line.

<h2>The cross-pollination trick: hybrid seeds for improved performance</h2>
You can use hybrid seed processing to improve the crops characteristics. This is done to achieve better yield, uniformity, and create resistance to plant diseases. Hybrids are more expensive due to the careful selection of plants for cross-pollination. But also, the time required to grow and produce seeds.

You produce hybrid seeds through cross-pollination of two specific, but different varieties. Usually to combine the desired characteristics in each of them. For example, one tomato plant may withstand longer times with less water. While the other produces tomatoes vigorously. By crossing both varieties, you can get hybrid seeds from the resulting tomato. These seeds may turn to plants that are able to withstand longer times with less water while producing tomatoes vigorously. However, the next generation of seeds produced by hybrid plants will consistently have the same desired characteristics. Therefore, you can engineer the seed to your desired output of your crop.

Whether your seed is a hybrid or regular, you probably need to pellet them first. Small and irregular-shaped seeds are difficult to handle when sowing them in equal spaces. So they are pelleted to a size that can easily be seen and handled for further seed processing. Pelleting starts by applying a wetting agent to the seed in a rotating drum. Then you add a mix primarily composed of clay. which gradually coats the seed as the drum continues to rotate. This is done until it achieves the desired size. For quality control, you separate the samples of pelleted seeds according to size. By straining them through metal screens or a gravity separator (also called an aspirator), before you subject them to dissolvability and durability tests. These tests ensure the coating dissolves easily in water. But, is durable enough to withstand fragmentation during shipping. Before this process occurs, the <a href="https://making.com/equipment/seeds-blowing-machine-for-separation">seeds need to be cleaned</a> with an Air cleaner machine. But, <a href="https://making.com/equipment/crop-and-vegetable-seeds-polisher">polishing the seeds</a> is also a process needed to improve germination success.

Seed processing to pellet tiny and irregular-shaped seeds

Seeds undergo treatments to prevent diseases and keep away pests. Chemical seed treatment typically consists of applying pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, etc. Using specialised equipment, you usually apply these chemicals as dust or film coatings. And in some cases, as pellets. You can also apply other substances to make the seed strong. Substances such as growth stimulants and other micronutrients. Most treated seeds also come in different coated colors. This is used as an indicator that the seeds are chemically treated and are not to be consumed or used as feeds.

The quality of field crops (ROW crops) is determined by their seeds. The breeding and foundational phases are critical for viable lots, but accuracy comes at the expense of time efficiency. The multi-stage process raises the risks of contamination and leads to seed wastage.


<h3>Increase yield and accuracy with an automatic end-to-end line</h3>
Seed Processing Holland developed specialized Automated Processing Lines (APL) for field crops (ROW crops) that maintain quality and turnout. The closed system takes the seeds from threshing/shelling through cleaning and treating.

Designed for specific crops, the technology handles most crops, including sugar beet, corn (maize), and oil rape seed. The hardware is built to accommodate the particular dimensions and structure of lots, ensuring their proper treatment throughout the line.

Besides the integrated machines, the APL is powered by SPH Connect®, simplifying complex processes into pre-programmed recipes. Thanks to combined equipment and process data, growers and seed producers can set their quality parameters and adhere to them lot after lot.

The automatic internal cleaning feature provides a contamination-free CIP solution. Moreover, the units are purposefully designed to facilitate flow and prevent seed contamination by avoiding seed mixing between lots.

Seed coating, also known as seed dressing, refers to the covering of seeds with external fluids, biologicals, chemicals, dry powder and solutions to protect the seeds, enhance germination and improve immunity. A common challenge for this process is that these materials may spill. Thus, in order to optimize the treatment process, it is essential to use equipment such as a seed coating machine that will reduce the workers' exposure.


<h2>Boost Productivity With an Automated Seed Coating Machine</h2>
Designed by Seed Processing Holland , the RDC’s (800 – 500 and 300) are advanced high speed seed film coaters with an integrated dryer. It simultaneously coats and dries agricultural and vegetable seeds, applying a higher percentage of liquid to allow direct packaging of the seeds once the process is completed. Furthermore, this seed coating machine uses a high-grade film coating formula and pays special attention to the drying speed, film formation and coverage. To ensure an optimal process, the unit controls the seed temperature. It also features a special rotating movement that helps achieve an equal and even seed coating. It is also worth mentioning that to increase the success rate of seeds coating, it is highly recommended that the seeds go through a <a href="https://making.com/equipment/seeds-blowing-machine-for-separation/">seed cleaning process</a> beforehand.

Moreover, the air humidity and temperature of the airflow created during the dressing process are adjustable, enabling operators to regulate and control the entire process. Since it’s a closed system, it’s also suitable for insecticides and fungicides applications.

The RDC 800 boasts a window and lighting in the cover, so you can control the process visually as well. Its modular design further makes it easy to clean, while its nickel-plated coating chamber protects it from excessive wear. The nickel-plating helps even more than stainless steel to protect the machine from corrosion.

Lastly, the RDC-800 has a capacity between 20 and 52 litres of seed per batch and is ideal for vegetable, grains, and flower seeds for large scale operations. Users can pack the output as soon as they are discharged.
