Pulse seed treatment

Graham Seed Farms has two new seed treating systems for pulses such as

chickpeas, peas, lentils, beans and soybeans.

They combine the accuracy and throughput of the G3 applicator with a

set of remote controls and secondary mixers.

They are designed for just-in-time treating by retailers. The seed is

treated as it is being sent to the field.

The G3 1100 system incorporates a feed hopper to store mini-bulk

volumes, auto shut-off controls, a grain flow controller for seed rate

control to the G3 applicator, and two tube secondary mixers.

The P40 bulk system uses tube conveyor feeds and discharges for systems

where seed is stored in bulk bins. A feed tube inlet gate controls seed

flow while the discharge tube adds drip pans and a discharge mixer for

higher delivered finish.
