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.

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.

Sugar beet seeds

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.

<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.

Automatic processing line for field crop seeds

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.

The supply of high quality seeds is essential as it significantly contributes to the success of every crop. Due to the numerous health benefits of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc., the demand for high-quality seeds has increased worldwide. However, the seed quality is greatly affected by the seed extraction method, and there are very few machines that can extract the seeds without damaging the seed quality.


<h2>Damage-free extraction of seeds</h2>
The EMM-1100 by Seed Processing Holland can extract seeds from vegetable fruit crops, such as sweet pepper, eggplants, cucumber, melon, tomato, and from hard skin fruit crops, such as small pumpkins and squash, without damaging the extracted seeds.

The fruits are first put into the hopper, and then into a crushing mechanism, where they’re crushed into smaller chunks with rotating pins. The upper pins are designed to be sharper, so hard-skinned fruits can be crushed easily without damaging the seeds.

Boasting an innovative beater design that separates larger fruit parts from the juice and seeds, integrated nozzles that enable operators to flush the machine out during the extraction process, high-quality materials, and individual speed adjustment of the lower and upper beaters, the EMM-1100 minimizes residual formation and ensures that the seeds are not damaged. Lastly, it makes three separations - seeds, juices, and fruit parts - which can be collected separately.

Seed extraction machine

Although it's the safest method, extracting tomato seeds manually can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Plus, labor costs are very high and finding staff is becoming increasingly difficult. However, when deciding to automate the extraction, breeding stations fear losing precision, damaging seeds, and cleanliness, which are three key aspects of the process. It is therefore important to choose a machine that will treat your seeds gently.

<h2>Separating seeds from tomato pulp and juice without damaging the seeds</h2>
The EMM-1201 Tomato Seed Extraction Machine from Seed Processing Holland is a seed extraction unit, specifically for tomatoes. This compact unit can extract seeds from small tomato lots of around 10 to 100 tomatoes. The machine separates the tomatoes into three products (seed, pulp, and juice) in a single process. The crushing mechanism is easily accessible through removable covers for quick inspection and maintenance. The system features a built-in water nozzle system for rinsing the mechanism during and after extraction to remove residues. The processed seeds are clean and require less cleaning after extraction as most of the gelatinous material covering the seeds is partially rubbed away.

Tomato seed extraction machine

When extracting seeds from fruit or vegetable crops, it is best to consider a flexible design of the crushing mechanism suitable for both soft-skinned and hard-skinned crops. However, the flexibility of the crushing system should not affect the extraction process by risking damage to the seeds.


<h2>Extracting seeds in batch from multiple varieties of fruit or vegetable crops</h2>
The EPM-1000 Semi-automatic Extraction Machine from Seed Processing Holland is a seed extraction unit that can extract a small amount of seeds from multiple varieties of fruit or vegetable crops. The unit can remove seeds from tomato, sweet pepper, cucumber, eggplants, and hard-skinned crops like squash.

The system has a hopper to load the crops and a crushing mechanism that doses and crushes the crops using rotating pins. The mechanism has four shafts with pins that rotate at a constant speed. Two upper shafts have pins with sharp ends that can crush hard-skinned crops like squash, while the two lower shafts with pins have round ends for crushing the remaining crop pieces.

The system comes with an aluminum container with a perforated bottom to collect the remaining fruit or vegetable pieces and seeds while draining the juice. The unit also comes with wheels to easily move it around the working area.

Semi-automatic extraction machine

It’s essential to disinfect seeds to eliminate bacterial infections and to protect them from these infections in storage or during early growth. Along with crop protection, proper seed disinfection can also lead to increased germination rates and root development. If the seed is under-treated or over-treated, it can cause bacterial infections and negatively affect seed health. That’s why it’s important to use a machine that properly disinfects seeds.


<h2>Eliminate bacterial infections with the seed disinfection unit</h2>
Innovatively designed by Seed Processing Holland, this seed disinfection unit can be used to treat seeds in several liquid solutions to prevent bacterial infections and seed-borne diseases. Since it’s mostly constructed with synthetic materials, it’s resistant against a lot of chemicals and won’t be permanently damaged when in contact with chemicals.

The unit boasts two compartments, and each compartment features a separate cover to prevent the splashing of fluids. Each cover can also be connected to a separate air exhaust system to ensure that gases are properly ventilated. Lastly, both covers are designed with a safety switch to prevent operation if the cover of the compartment is not properly closed.

Seed disinfection machine

When drying extracted, disinfected, or primed seeds, the process can be very long, as they have high water content. Using a centrifuge that first removes the excess moisture from the surface of the seeds can reduce the drying time by hours.


<h2>Semi-automated spin-dryer for removing excess water from seeds</h2>
The Seed centrifuge small DRP-4000 from Seed Processing Holland is a centrifugal spin dryer. This equipment works on the centrifugal principle and removes the excess moisture around the seed surface. The time of centrifuging is adjustable from several seconds to minutes. A spray nozzle is mounted in the lid for rinsing during centrifuging and is activated by means of a ball valve. The valve from the machine must be connected to a water source. When centrifuging, the released water is drained through the rear of the machine. The DRP-4000 is used for centrifuging bare seeds or seeds in closed mesh bags and it is suitable for small and medium-sized manufacturers.

Seed Centrifuge Small

It’s essential to dry moist seeds before you process and store them. Seeds with too high or too low moisture content are more likely to get damaged during processing, resulting in reduced viability and the formation of mold. However, seeds can also be damaged by over-drying or drying too quickly. To ensure the perfect seed moisture content, it’s important to use a dryer that allows you to control the air volume, relative humidity, and air temperature.


<h2>Increase the viability and vigor of seeds</h2>
Manufactured by Seed Processing Holland, the conditioned seed dryer dries commercial seed lots in a controlled and structured way to meet the highest quality standards. It’s ideal for drying a wide variety of seeds, including primed seeds, film-coated seeds, disinfected seeds, seed pellets, and extracted seeds, such as pepper, cucumber, tomato, and melon.

The unit is designed with a technical room that houses all the process equipment, and an insulated drying room. The drying room features two insulated windows in the door and two lighting fixtures to give operators a clear view of the entire process. It’s also fitted with energy-efficient circulation ventilators, creating a powerful internal airflow that releases moisture from the seeds.

Moreover, the dryer uses the condensation principle, whereas the heat pump evaporates moisture from the seeds with the energy that is released from the drying process. This makes the entire process incredibly cost- and energy-efficient.

Lastly, the unit has a capacity of 10 kg to 150 kg of seeds, depending on the crop type and moisture content, and a maximum capacity of 1 million pellets, depending on adhesives, humidity percentage, and pellet variety.

Conditioned seed drying machine

Breeding stations work daily to improve seed sow ability; but if seeds are not cleaned properly, it can affect this capacity. When polishing is not enough because there are hard-to-clean impurities such as shell debris, a seed brushing machine is used. For breeding stations, which work on small batches of seeds, a small-scale system is needed to make easy and flexible adjustments in brushing different types of seeds.


<h2>Brushing and threshing at variable speeds for small scale applications</h2>
The CPM-4010 Laboratory Seed Brushing Machine from Seed Processing Holland is a seed brushing system that can polish or thresh (for capsule fruits) seeds in small batches. The system is especially suitable for breeding stations. The mantles containing the seeds or capsules are placed around the horizontal axis with the brushes. The two brushes have adjustable brushing speeds between 180 to 600 revolutions per minute to obtain a lighter or heavier polishing effect. A container underneath the mantle collects seeds or waste material depending on the perforation size. A transparent Plexiglas cover is included to prevent the seeds from jumping out during the removal of the mantle.

If you need a brushing, cleaning and grading machine to de-beard your carrots or tomato seeds then this is the right piece of laboratory equipment for you. Furthermore, it can also polish quinoa among other functions. It has the ability to take care of small volumes as well as large volumes depending on the amount of grain you have.

Laboratory Seed Brushing Machine

One way to improve crop and vegetable seed germination performance can be found in the first step of the fine cleaning process. Polishing seeds removes dust and dirt particles that may form layers that cover the seeds, limiting their germination. Aside from improving germination, polishing improves visual appearance, enhances purity, and provides a high yield.


<h2>Polishing seeds for improved germination performance</h2>
The CPM-4210 Seed Polishing Machine from Seed Processing Holland is a batch, semi-automated system that can polish vegetable and crop seeds in bags due to the rotating motion of the drum. The system is enclosed in a steel casing with an access door. The door has an inspection cover for viewing the work progress and a LED light mounted at the top part to have a clear view of the drum. The system has a control panel with push buttons for a start/stop operation, lamp, and timer functions.

With this piece of equipment, heavy or large specks of dust are collected in a mobile dust collecting container under the drum. The lighter ones are extracted through a dust extraction point (Ø 150 mm) on top of the machine and by a dust extraction point (Ø 100 mm) which is mounted on the door. Depending on the capacity, the average batch processing time takes 30 -90 minutes.

Crop and Vegetable Seeds Polisher

Cleaning of seeds is a vital step when getting the most of your crop. For this you need a specialised machine. Sorting through seeds of different weights and quality slows down the breeding process. The correct separation of material is particularly critical for seed foundation stations; a mismatch in densities of fractions could compromise the profile and value of the end product. The degree of accuracy in the separation stage impacts the entire seed processing line.

<h2>Improve the clean quality of your seeds with precision lot separation</h2>
The CAM-4220 Laboratory Seed Air Separator distributes seeds by weight and size. Engineered by Seed Processing Holland, the technology uses air ventilation to classify heavy "good" seeds, lighter seeds, and empty seeds and collect each in a separate container.

The system caters to a range of products, from fine seeds such as celery and spinach to large seeds including squash and corn. The CAM-4220 is suitable for vegetable, field crops, and hemp seeds and various other grains. Pre-cleaned seed lots enter a vibrating trough that doubles as a dosing unit and are transferred to the separating cassette. The air in the ventilation chamber lifts the seeds through the anti-static Plexiglas containers according to their body weight, separating them in the process.

This grain cleaning machine uses special anti-static technology to ensure that the seeds and grain do not get stuck in/on the equipment itself. If you are looking for the most accurate seed grain cleaning machine then this is definitely the right piece of equipment for you.
