Intense drying with dry and cool air

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 dried in trays, under the correct air conditions.

The installation can be assembled to your needs and specifications

The conditioned drawer dryer is a closed installation. With this installation the seed is dried at the desired air temperature to the desired moisture content. This by using dried and cooled air. The drawers are placed in an air distribution system.

Which ensures that the air is blown or sucked through the seed. The air distribution system is located in a closed casing so that the seed can be dried regardless of the outside conditions.

  • The drawer dryer can be controlled by the ABC processor.
  • The drying control can be carried out individually per section or per drawer.
  • The installation is controlled per section, the seed dries in all drawers to the same moisture content.
  • The inlet of outside air and dried air can only be done per section.

Working Principle

The air can either be blown or sucked through the seed. The choice depends on the specific weight and the amount of seed. With a suction system, the light seed will always remain in the drawer and will not be blown away. Dried air is added per section. This air is cooled or heated to the desired temperature.

Here a blowing system: In this version the air is being sucked in at the rear.
And is then blown through the seed from bottom to top via a lockable opening.
The air is sucked back to the rear through the top.

Here a suction system: In this version the air is sucked through the seed from top to bottom through each tray or drawer.
The air is then lifted upwards at the rear and sucked in again at the front through the top.

The air is brought to the desired moisture content and temperature at the top of the installation. This ensures that the seed is always dried at the desired air condition. The design of the air treatment installation depends on the required air circulation, the amount of moisture to be drained and the temperature at which there should be dried.

Summary

Conditioned tray dryers for precise and safe drying of small seed batches

Conditioned tray dryers are specifically designed for drying small, valuable, and sensitive seed batches. By using dehumidified and cooled air in a closed system, a fully controlled drying environment is created, ensuring optimal preservation of seed quality.

Seeds are placed in trays within an air distribution system, where air is evenly blown or drawn through the product. Depending on the seed type, a blowing or suction system can be applied, allowing even lightweight seeds to be dried safely and efficiently without loss.

The system continuously conditions the air to the required temperature and humidity, enabling precise drying to the desired moisture content. This process is independent of external conditions, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

With ABC software, the drying process is fully automated and can be controlled per section or per tray. This makes the tray dryer a flexible, reliable, and energy-efficient solution for drying and storing small seed volumes.
