Batch Treater Drying Conveyors

Precision Drying for Treated Seed & Grain

Freshly treated seeds and grains demand precise, reliable drying to ensure free-flowing quality, prevent clumping, and protect coating integrity. O’Mara Ag’s Batch Treater Drying Conveyors are engineered to meet the high demands of today’s complex seed treatments. By integrating conveying, drying, and handling in a single streamlined process, these conveyors help seed facilities maximize throughput while improving product quality and consistency.

Built with operator safety, repeatability, and efficiency in mind, our drying conveyors are the obvious choice for operations requiring advanced treatment and precise drying control.

Why Batch Treater Drying Conveyors Matter

Seed treatment is not just about coating. It’s also about ensuring that coatings cure properly and that the product remains flowable and ready for downstream handling. Traditional methods can leave seeds sticky, prone to clumping, or unevenly coated.

O’Mara’s Batch Treater Drying Conveyors solve these challenges by:

Providing precision drying that sets coatings quickly and evenly.
Maintaining seed flowability to avoid downtime during packaging or planting.
Protecting seed quality through gentle conveying and handling.
Integrating seamlessly with existing batch treating systems.

How the System Works

Batch Treating: A measured quantity of seed is treated with fungicides, insecticides, nutrients, or polymers in a batch treater.
Discharge to Conveyor: The freshly coated seed is discharged onto the drying conveyor.
Integrated Drying: Ambient or heated air flows over or through the seed to remove excess moisture and cure coatings.
Gentle Conveying: The conveyor moves seeds carefully to protect coatings and avoid physical damage.
Final Output: Seeds exit the conveyor as uniformly dried, free-flowing, high-quality product, ready for packaging or planting.
