Small Type Maize Seed Coating Machine

Small Type Maize Seed Coating Machine

Extending the small type design to larger kernels, our Small Type Maize Seed Coating Machine offers seed companies, cooperatives, and research stations a specialized unit for treating maize seed in limited‑scale settings. This machine balances gentle handling with accurate treatment application for maize kernels weighing up to 1,200 g per liter.

Machine Description
The device consists of a 300 mm diameter horizontal drum mounted at a slight incline (2–4°). A low‑torque gearbox drives the drum at 3–12 rpm, maximizing seed turnover while preventing abrasion. A compact dosing pump delivers treatment solution into a spray manifold located just inside the drum inlet. Treated seed discharges onto a perforated conveyor belt, which passes under an adjustable-temperature heating duct for controlled drying.

Key Features

• Kernel‑Friendly Design: Larger drum diameter and slower rotation prevent kernel bruising and maintain germination rates above 95%.

• Precise Metering: Pump and manifold achieve ±0.1 mL/kg accuracy, supporting diverse treatment chemistries.

• Modular Heating Module: A plug‑in electric heater can be bypassed for ambient drying in heat‑sensitive applications.

• Compact Footprint: Occupies under 3 m², making it suitable for pilot plants or demonstration facilities.

• Easy‑Clean Surfaces: Food‑grade stainless steel and quick‑release belt slats simplify cleaning between batches.

Performance Data
In validation trials, the small type maize coater achieved uniform coverage on ≥98% of kernel surfaces, with a cycle throughput of 200 kg per 30‑minute batch. Drying times of under 15 minutes are typical when using low‑temperature (≤40 °C) airflow, preserving seed vigor.

After‑Sales Support
Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. offers detailed start‑up guidance, virtual troubleshooting sessions, and replacement pump/nozzle assemblies to ensure reliable operation in research and small‑scale production environments.
