SSD UV-C Seed Disinfection for Closed, Dry Grain
Physical, chemical-free UV-C treatment that reduces the microbial load on seed before sowing.
- Chemical-free, no residues
- Reduces fungi, mould and pathogens
- Enables reduced use of chemical seed treatments
Fungi, mould and other pathogens often build up on the seed surface, affecting germination and harvest quality. Classic chemical seed treatments reduce this load but leave residues on the seed. The SSD offers a physical alternative: proven UV-C low-pressure lamps at a wavelength of 254 nm inactivate microorganisms on the seed surface, with no chemicals and no residues.
Seed is fed manually or via a hopper onto the first of three levels of the system. Vibration motors then move it down through the levels, turning it repeatedly so it is treated on all sides. At the end, the disinfected seed is discharged into a container that can be adapted to customer requirements. The entire process takes around 150 seconds, at a throughput of up to 40 kg per hour.
Suitable for
- Closed, dry grain types
- Grain sizes of approx. Ø 0.7 to Ø 4 mm
