SEED TREATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering, in particular, presowing treatment equipment. SUBSTANCE: seed treating apparatus has seed dosing device, working fluid dosing pump, treatment chamber incorporating grounded preparation sprayer, seed distributor and dielectric plate-like rotor, with sprayer, seed distributor and rotor being mounted for rotation inside said chamber, and ring electrically connected to negative pole of high-voltage power source. Preparation sprayer is located between seed distributor and rotor. Ring is rigidly fixed in spaced relation to upper edge of plate-like rotor above it. While passing through electric field between negatively charged ring and grounded preparation sprayer, preparation particles acquire positive charge and are attracted owing to mirror reflection force to seeds delivered from seed distributor to uniformly wrap said seeds. Seeds wrapped with particles are further delivered into plate-like rotor for active mixing thereof. EFFECT: improved quality of seed treatment owing to improved uniformity of preparation distribution. 3 cl, 1 dwg
