Pelleting is a transformative seed enhancement technique that involves coating seeds with a uniform layer to change their physical properties. By improving the size, shape and weight of seeds, pelleting ensures they are optimized for mechanical sowing systems, which require precise and consistent seed delivery. This process is especially beneficial for small or irregularly shaped seeds, such as lettuce, carrot, sugar beet, or onion seeds.

Advanced pelleting methods use high-quality binders and fillers to create a protective coating that does not compromise seed viability. These coatings may also include additives such as nutrients or protective agents to support early growth and protect against environmental influences. Uniform pelleting ensures that seeds flow smoothly through the planting equipment, minimising the risk of clogging or uneven seeding.

Innovative encrusting technologies use automation to achieve high throughput and consistency. We offer proven technologies that require operator skills to perform a process, and we have fully automated systems that can make pellets according to a coating recipe. Operators can adjust the coating thickness to the specific needs of each seed type, ensuring tailored solutions for diverse agricultural applications. Pelleted seeds are easier to handle, transport, and store, further reducing costs for producers and farmers.

By enhancing sowing precision and improving field emergence, pelleting has become an indispensable process in modern agriculture. It supports higher planting efficiency, better crop uniformity, and higher yields, meeting the demands of large-scale farming and precision agriculture.
