METHOD FOR REMOVING DUST FROM SEEDS

摘要

Embodiments of a technique are provided for removing dust from treated seeds. The method includes applying a treatment to a number of seeds at a seed treatment station and at least partially drying the seeds at the treatment station. The partially dried seeds may then be conveyed through a conveying station from the treatment station to an output area. Air may be directed through an inlet of the conveying station, where the directed air is configured to remove non-seed particles from the seeds. Furthermore, air may be filtered through an outlet of the conveying station to capture the removed non-seed particles using a filtering system. In some cases, an initial temperature of the air may be controlled to optimize the dust removal process, such as by heating and/or chilling the air.
