EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF SEED TREATMENT MATERIAL MODERN COATING TECHNOLOGY FOR INCREASED GROWTH ABILITY The Centricoater optimises the consumption of chemical agents and the impact on the environment is subsequently a reduction in raw material use. The results are homogenous coated seeds which all have improved growth ability and meet the international standards for certified seeds. The system provides improved seed coverage and a most uniform distribution of treatment materials on the seed as compared to traditional continuous operating drum (screw) type treaters. Main attention is also...

CIMBRIA | SEED PROCESSING | CENTRICOATER | 3 | PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS Cimbria Centricoaters are continuous operated batch treaters. A precise electronic scale prepares the needed amount of seed (batch) for the next cycle. After the scale has fed the prepared batch to the mixing drum, the rotating bottom of the drum accelerates the seed to force it to climb up the drum wall, and to be folded back to the drum middle by means of the built-in deflectors. According to a preset recipe, including amounts and timing, all selected slurries and powders are now added to the mixing drum. Slurries...

COATING TECHNOLOGY HIGH END CONTROL UNIT A fully automated PLC controls and monitors the operation of the Centricoater. The generous touchscreen visualises the complete coating process, thus granting an excellent overview for the operator into all current operations and settings of the machine (scale, mixing chamber, dosing lines). All necessary settings, both for the intake product as well as for the coating process itself, can easily and logically be entered by the operator. Recipes can be stored in a clearly arranged database. All data in the control unit is always shown in the...

CIMBRIA | SEED PROCESSING | CENTRICOATER | 5 | COATING TECHNOLOGY FILM COATING PELLETING/WEIGHT GAINING Seed is covered with a thin slurry film layer. Shape and general size of the raw seed are not influenced or changed. The used chemical ingredients normally contain pesticides (fungicides, insecticides protecting the seed during storage and further in the first weeks growing on the field), micronutrients and bacteria (supporting seed health and growth in the field), polymers (for keeping the ingredients safely on the seed surface as long as planted), further identifying colorants and dyes....

CENTRICOATER CONSTRUCTION The Cimbria Heid Centricoater is designed for the application of coating value added seeds with costly seed treating materials. The system is a continuous batch operation utilising a highly accurate inlet scale together with a highly accurate chemical ELECTRONIC SCALE From the pre-bin or pre-store silo before the Centricoater, the seed is fed into the electronic scale by means of a big and fine flow flap, thus allowing exact dosing of seed with an accuracy of ± 0.25%. As soon as the electronic load cells of the scale indicate sufficient filling, the bottom flap...

IMPROVED UNIFORM COVERAGE AND APPEARANCE FROM KERNEL TO KERNEL POWDER FEEDER DOSING SYSTEM The powder feeder consist of a conical hopper with generous free cross-section and steep walls, as well as an internal stirrer and an eccentrically mounted discharge- screw to handle all kinds of powders available on the market, without any risk of bridging or clumping. Dosing of powder can either operate volumetrically or gravimetrically by means of optional electronic loadcells. GLASS CYLINDER DOSING SYSTEM The glass cylinder grants optical control of the liquid dosing process to the operator, using...

MACHINE RANGE The Centricoaters are available in several different sizes and configurations. The mixing drum sizes range from 2 kg up to 250 kg (based on wheat). STANDARD - AUTOMATIC SERIES The “compact” Centricoater series, starting with CC10 up to CC250DUO, is designed for an easy installation on the customer’s site. Each Centricoater is pre-wired in the factory, and delivered pre-tested. After connecting the grain pipes (for filling and discharging), the main electric power supply, compressed air, the dosing line piping and the prepared cables for each item (plug and play), the coater is...

CIMBRIA | SEED PROCESSING | CENTRICOATER | 9 | AUTOMATIC MIXING AND PUMPING SYSTEM PRINCIPLES AND COMPONENTS Large hourly capacities and the use of wide varieties of different chemicals require the need for reliable and accurate disposal of required liquids just in time. Cimbria’s automised mixing and pumping systems enable customers to buy and store their chemicals separately and independently from one another, mixing them in the right ratio just before their final use. Therefore, the single ingredients are usually stored in IBC tanks supplied by the chemical companies, adding a mobile...

RELATED EQUIPMENT CONTINUOUS TREATERS KB Continuous treaters are built for continuous treating of seeds. The product is fed into the hopper. A rotary feeder ensures a continuous feeding into the spraying chamber where the seed is distributed by a dispersal cone. The treating liquid is simultaneously sprayed via a spinning disc onto the product. Afterwards a paddle screw ensures a continued mixing and moves the product to the outlet. JOG CONVEYOR DRYER JCD Jog Conveyor Dryers are mainly used after the coating process to prevent wet kernels from clumping together during bagging off. The wet...

CIMBRIA | SEED PROCESSING | CENTRICOATER | 11 | ADVANTAGES OF A BATCH TYPE COATER COMPARED TO A CONTINUOUS FLOW TREATER: The batch operation is the base for the most precise coating technology, as coating is done in a closed drum in a reproducible way, adding for each batch always the same amount of seed with related amounts of slurries and powders, keeping the same timing for adding the ingredients and afterwards mixing. Therefore each batch gets the correct amount of chemicals resulting in the most accurate and even distribution on each seed kernel. The batch operation also allows the...
