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 (10) and at least partially drying the seeds at the treatment station (10). The partially dried seeds may then be conveyed through a conveying station (20) from the treatment station (10) to an output area (30). Air may be directed through an inlet of the conveying station (20), 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 (20) 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.
