In plant breeding, but also flowers seeds, the seed volumes are relatively small. However, these delicate and precious seeds must be treated very carefully. In this conditioned drying installation, small quantities of seeds are dryed in trays, under the correct air conditions. The installation can be assembled to your needs and specifications.

Optimal (controlled) drying of the seeds and pellets in a conditioned cabinet with a fluid drying proces. When small quantities of (fruit) seeds and pellets is dried, the most optimal conditions are expected. Furthermore it can be necessary to have a product in movement at the start of the drying process. To be able to satisfy this need, a drying cabinet has been developed, in which the seeds or pellets can be dried fluidly. This prevents adhesion or tearing (pellets). After this stage of pre-drying, the seed can gradually and statically reach the desired moisture content. The inblowing temperature is also automatically adjusted per stage if desired.

Treated seed samples can be dried fluid in special tubes. The tube can be filled with seed near the treating installation and after that placed on the drying installation. The fluid tube drying installation are made from 1 tube to 8 and more. Special connection at the installation for the tubes. Your excisting tubes can be used as well. A small high pressure fan blows air through an electrical heater into the tube to make the seed fluid. Air will be extracted from a central duct at the back; fresh and dry air to prevent recycling of damp air.

The drying process can take place in various steps (stages). The temperature and speed of moisture absorption can be configured per stage. In the static drying cabinet, the seeds are dried and conditioned in bulk in trays or in little bags. The air will blow through the seed in bulk with a light flow (in the trays) or through the baskets with little bags.

This climate cabinet is developed to conduct germination and growth tests in various climate conditions. The climate cabinet is assembled as desired and adapted to the application. This consultation will take place with the researcher, to determine the correct configuration. The cabinet is then build to customer specifications and delivered ready for plugging. A detailled instruction guide is included.

When using the AMS sensor in combination with the ABC processor, you are able to check the moisture content of the(incoming) seed easily. After the measurement you will receive information directly concerning the moisture contentof the seed and if it complies with the standards. All measurement values are automatically registered and logged onyour PC. Introduce the AMS sensor into the seed to measurethe temperature and the RH of the air around theseed, and calculate the Absolute moisture content(AH) of the air. Press `Start` and the measurement ofthe sensor is activated.The AH value of the air is compared to the configuredAH value at which the moisture in the seed is inequilibrium with the air (equilibrium moisturecontent). The operator receives information directlyto know if the seed has been dried sufficiently,thanks to the color of the LED lamp.
