Melon Seed Gravity Separator

Melon Seed Gravity Separator

Shijiazhuang xinlu technology co.,ltd provides the Melon Seed Gravity Separator, tailored for small, delicate seeds such as watermelon, cantaloupe and other melon types. The design emphasizes precise, low-impact separation to protect germination potential and visual quality for edible markets.

Working principle

Melon seeds are distributed in a thin, even layer across a grooved, oscillating deck. A calibrated upward airflow interacts with the vibration to cause density stratification: full, mature seeds sink toward the clean outlet and lighter, damaged or empty seeds and surface dust are carried into the reject channel. The combination of groove geometry, stroke amplitude and airflow volume provides high separation resolution for small seed sizes.

Performance and applications

A well-tuned Melon Seed Gravity Separator handles several tonnes per hour depending on seed size and desired purity. It is used by seed companies, nurseries and edible seed processors to improve uniformity, germination rates and product appearance prior to packaging or further sorting.

Operation and adjustment

Because melon seeds are small and fragile, operators use conservative stroke settings and carefully increase airflow to identify the point at which light rejects are captured without aspirating good seed. Routine sampling and iterative adjustments produce consistent separator settings for each variety.

Maintenance and service

Frequent inspection of deck mats for clogging, cleaning of aspirator filters and lubrication of vibration drives are recommended. Shijiazhuang xinlu technology co.,ltd supplies replacement mats, filter elements and bearing kits and offers guidance on establishing an effective preventive maintenance schedule.

Customization

Available options include multi-zone airflow manifolds to eliminate dead zones, pre-humidification or drying modules to condition seed prior to separation, and integration brackets for rapid mechanical mounting in existing facilities. The Melon Seed Gravity Separator is offered as a compact, standalone polishing solution for operations that value seed quality and gentle handling.
