About Cleaning

Seed cleaning is a fundamental process in seed processing, designed to remove unwanted impurities such as dust, chaff, stones, and plant debris. This step enhances seed purity, ensuring they meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. Clean seeds not only have a higher market value but also perform better during planting, leading to improved crop yields.

Modern seed cleaning systems utilize advanced technologies such as air-screen cleaners, gravity separators, and magnetic separators. These machines are capable of processing large volumes of seeds with exceptional accuracy, separating impurities based on size, weight, and magnetic properties. Adjustable settings allow operators to tailor the cleaning process to the specific characteristics of each seed type.

The efficiency of seed cleaning machinery directly influences productivity, reducing labor costs and processing time. Automated systems further streamline operations, ensuring consistent output quality. By integrating dust collection and waste disposal systems, modern cleaning equipment also prioritizes environmental sustainability.

Clean seeds are essential for agricultural success, as impurities can hinder planting machinery and affect germination rates. For seed producers, investing in advanced cleaning technology ensures customer satisfaction and enhances their reputation in competitive markets.

Hand-sieves

Magnetic Seed Separator

Magnetic separation is perfect to separate seed lots which contain weeds (e.g. gallium), soil parts, germinated or damaged seeds by using iron powder, water and applying an unique magnetic separation technology.

Seed Air Cleaning

Air separation is extremely suitable to divide chaffs or empty seeds from viable seeds. Using technology based on density differences, the purity and germination capacity of the seed lot will be improved.

Seed Air Screen Cleaning

Air screen cleaning is absolutely suitable for separation of chaffs, soil and or stones from seeds in order to improve the seed purity (this procedure is the start in every seed cleaning process).

Seed Belt Grader

Belt grading is ideally suitable for the separation of round shaped seeds from flatter shaped seeds or particles like plant fibers or flower stems when sorting brassica’s, spinach and or beet seeds.

Seed Blender

Blending (mixing) is very suitable to create a homogeneous seed lot of different lots of the same variety.

Seed Calibration (Sizer)

Calibration (sizing) is highly suitable for exact flat sizing of seeds based on the size (diameter), using high accurate screens, with the objective to create a uniform plant growth.

Seed Gravity (Density) Separator

A Seed Gravity Separator is definitely suitable for the quality upgrading of seed lots, by making a separation between the different particle densities.

Seed Indent Cylinder

An Indent Cylinder is very suitable for separating seeds based on length. This technique is highly suitable for separating e.g. chaffs from elliptical shaped seeds like lettuce or carrot seeds.

Seed Polishing

Polishing or brushing of seeds is eminently suitable for making seeds smoother and therefor they have a better sow ability like e.g. tomato, carrot, spinach and beet seeds.

Seed Spiral Separator

A Spiral Separator is idealy suitable for separating round shapped seeds from flatter shaped seeds or the separation of sclerotia from radish or cabbage seeds.
