Seeds drying machine

The Zhengzhou Taida seed drying machines and seed storage systems dry and preserve seeds without affecting their quality

To preserve the seeds, it is essential to lower the moisture content to around 5 per cent, thereby limiting their deterioration

Drying of seeds at elevated temperatures destroys their germination potential

Zhengzhou Taida seed drying machines, based on the state-of-the-art desiccant drying technology, dry the seeds to the required level in four to six hours without affecting their quality

Dried seeds can thus be stored in dehumidified stores without loss of germination potential

Dry-air seed drying machines are based on the principle of physical adsorption

The seed drying machines essentially consist of two parts: the first is a chamber fitted with perforated trays where the seed to be dried is placed

The number of trays varies with the quantity of seed to be dried and also the size of the equipment

On top housed the second part: the dehumidifying drying machine which continuously feeds dry air into the chambers

The dry air is at a moisture content of 5% RH and temperature of 1,000F ± 50F is fed into the chamber which picks up the moisture from the seeds, and is dried again in the dehumidifier

These seed drying machines have been developed by Zhengzhou Taida and incorporate a unique air distribution pattern through the trays to optimize drying capacities and time

These seed drying machines come in several models and can handle 50 to 900kg of seeds per 8 hours depending upon the model used

Zhengzhou Taida seed drying machines are beneficial to both commercial and plant breeding organizations and are already being used extensively by state seed bodies, international and national seeds bodies and private organizations
