Seed Pelleting Equipment


2/21

Seed Pelleting Equipment, Inc.

Design Philosophy low maintenance example: a carbide layer inside the chamber high reliability example: by using direct drives

high accuracy for dosing seed, materials by using digital weighcells Example: gram accuracy dosing glue powder for sugarbeet seed

pelleting

elimination of calibrations where possible standardization when possible reduction of wiring and cables by use of Profibus communication

machine height adaptable to operators connectivity to PC network/SAP - utilizing ethernet, TCP/IP, XML recording of batch data and new recipes on build-in PC management of recipes on network use of barcodes possible automation possible by timings and by process steps constant investment in new functionality


3/21


Future implementation of more sensors such as

Absolute moisture sensing by radio wavesincl. compensation for mass

Mass flow meter for liquids

IR measurement of product (surface)temperature

dryers with various types of drying mechanismssuch as absorption wheels, condensation dryingetc..., including energy saving systems

some increase in types of PLC's to fitrequirements of large customers and smallcustomers

Drying Equipment

Drying equipment Basically 2 options to

guarantee drying of allproducts during all seasons:

Airconditioning of the roomor a partition of room

Recirculating drying airinside dryer with air dryer

6 recirculating dryers,aluminium

Cost = Euro 45,000 perdryer

6 atmospheric dryers, steel Cost = Euro 21,000 per

dryer


15/21

Insecticide applicationmain factors

Insecticide application

high cost of active material, high value

auditing of used active material

auditing of products produced

very accurate dosing equipment (0.02%)

uniform application

safe technology for seed safe for operator


16/21

Equipment ProjectGaucho: Combination of Pelleting Pan and Rotary Coater

Pellets of sensitive seeds made in Coating Pan Finish layer includes Gaucho with an inert final finish for safe

product

Final Finish is applied in a Rotary

The Rotary allows a short process, low water use The Rotary has the most uniform process


17/21

Equipment Project

Automation system PLC is Windows CE based, which makes it simple to exchange

data via XML an industrial PC is incorporated into one of the coating

machines, the coating machines are connected to form anetwork via ethernet

connection between the equipment and SAP is possible,

normally via a separate SQLServer database recipe management on PC network or in SAP possible


18/21

Equipment Project

Automation system rotary coater with a closed system including sensors for vacuum

accurate gravimetric dosing of active materials with digitalfeedback

connection between the equipment and SAP possible

recipe management on PC network or in SAP possible
