How were the my yield seed treaters built? and why?
From the ground up. And for the farmer. As farmers ourselves, we knew farmers needed to take control of their seed treatment process. We also knew they didn’t have adequate tools to do so. The seed treaters that existed were designed for the big retailer. They were large,complex and very expensive. So we went to the drawing board to design a seed treater specifically for the grower. In ...

Seed Treaters - Case study
The Problem Having control over your operation is fundamental to running an efficient and profitable farm. This is true in all critical applications like planting, combining and marketing. And this is especially true when it comes to your seed treatment process – the growing season’s first opportunity to unlock maximum yield or suffer irreversible loss. We ...

Palm Kernel Processing Plant
Palm kernel oil (PKO) is has very similar compositions and properties as coconut oil. It is a kind of co-product of palm oil production. With the fast growth of palm oil, palm kernel oil will replace coconut oil as the main resource of lauric acid. Palm Fruit Oil Vs Palm Kernel Oil The chemical properties and physical properties of these two oils are very different. They also have different ...

The Top-Level Value of N-1 Perfusion Processes for 100-1000kg/yr Biologics Manufacture
Are you interested in optimising performance of your upstream biologics manufacturing? Cell retention/media perfusion devices increase the viable cell density of bioreactors and can be used to reduce the number or volume of seeding stages of the production bioreactor (1,2,3). Additionally, the production cycle can be initiated earlier, with a higher biomass inoculation. The production reactor ...

Hexane Detection in Oilseed Operations - Case Study
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is a proven technology for locating Hexane and other Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leaks in oilseed operations. OGI inspections can improve plant safety during routine operations, and reduce revenue lost to downtime during major overhauls. ROI payback in less than one year has been reported by major oilseed crush operations. A new Hexane and VOC leak detection ...

Uncovering your Farm’s Hidden Yield Potential
What are you missing in your harvest data? Across hundreds or even thousands of acres, it’s easy to get lost in this sea of data points. It’s simply too much for one person to calculate. That’s what makes a digital tool a powerful ally. It never gets tired or distracted and when provided the right data, it never puts a decimal in the wrong place. The yield analysis tool in ...

Hexane Detection in Oil Seed Operation
A new Hexane and VOC leak detection technique using OGI is gaining favor among oilseed producers worldwide. This technique uses passive infrared imaging to make normally invisible gas plumes visible to the camera operator. The EyeCGas OGI camera has a minimum detectable leak rate for Hexane of approximately 0.3 grams/hour (1 gallon/year liquid Hexane). Hexane, a ...

Mustard Oil Press Machine
Mustard seed is still rare in the oil crop which can be used in the oil expeller in China and the plant area is not so large. Mustard seed is the seed of the cruciferous family plant, including black mustard seed, yellow mustard seed and white mustard seed, brown mustard seed, and 3 other kinds. Due to the development of science and technology in recent years, mustard seed has been gradually ...

Evaluation of hygroscopic cloud seeding in liquid-water clouds: a feasibility study
Abstract. An airborne cloud seeding experiment was conducted over the eastern coast of Zhejiang, China, on 4 September 2016 during a major international event held in Hangzhou. In an attempt to reduce the likelihood of rainfall onset, a major airborne experiment for weather modification took place by seeding hygroscopic agents to warm clouds to reduce cloud droplet size. The effectiveness of ...

Why We Launched Indigo Marketplace
The system by which we grow and distribute grain is well over a hundred years old. In the early 1900s, with significant urban migration, came the need for an efficient way to transport crops from rural areas to city centers. This led to the development of a commodity system, in which growers brought their harvested grain to silos where it was mixed with their neighbors’. Growers were paid a ...

Removal of Acid Black 1 and Basic Red 2 from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation/
Moringa oleifera seed adsorption coupling in a batch systemThe removal of Acid Black 1 (AB1) and Basic Red 2 (BR2) from aqueous solutions via an electrocoagulation (EC)/Moringa oleifera seeds (MOS) adsorption coupling process by using aluminum and stainless steel electrode in a batch reactor is described in this study. The influences of the operational parameters, i.e. current density, MOS dosage, and dye initial concentration, on degree of color ...

Getting seed to smallholders needs a business approach
A locally owned, alternative model of supplying affordable seed is working for Africa’s framers, says Joe DeVries. Smallholder farmers in Africa — mostly women — wage silent battles against the elements and other forces beyond their control to feed their families, their villages, their countries. They have historically taken the lead in feeding Africa and are destined to ...

Water deficit effect on the relationship between temperature during the seed fill period and soybean seed oil and protein concentrations
Since most soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed is processed into meal and oil, there is a growing concern about environmental effects on soybean seed composition. The aim of this work was to investigate how water deficit affects the well-known relationship of soybean seed oil and protein concentrations with temperature and, alternatively, with solar radiation during seed fill. We analyzed oil ...

Winery solid residue revalorization into oil and antioxidant with nutraceutical properties by an enzyme assisted process
ABSTRACTRevalorization of the winery industry residue, grape seed is studied for the production of an oil and defatted meal with nutraceutical properties. Conventional grape seed oil extraction process is carried out by pressing at high temperature affecting the product quality. Oil extraction by cold pressing improves product quality, but it gives a low oil yield. Oil extracted is increased at ...
