Seed Processing Holland has extended its delivery program with a dryer, type CSD-120, specific for conditioned drying of seeds. This high quality seed dryer we can offer you starting from € 35.711,--.
Because you want to dry your seeds according an ideal protocol that is independent of the quantity of your seed lot or moisture content, we have designed a seed dryer which adjust the drying capacity continuously variable to the drying quantity. Also the installed compressor power is adjusted for drying of seeds, whereby danger of drying too quickly is eliminated. The dryer is designed to dry seed lots from 10 kg up to 150 kg with the same speed without any problems. In this manner you dry each lot in the same way with preservation of the seed quality.

The dryer is extremely suitable for drying of seeds after for example an extraction-, disinfection-, primingprocess. Preferably the seeds are dried rotationally in our unique seed drums which results in an uniform drying process and prevents double seeds.
The dryer is equipped with the most modern control engineering and designed for the approved long-term refrigerant R410a (standard refrigerant like R404a or R507 will not be allowed within a few years).
The new name reflects the new brand name of the machine: CSD-120 (Conditioned Seed Dryer), just as our other conditioned seed dryers.
These conditioned seed dryer is offered as a basic execution and can be extended with advanced options, according to your requirements.
Below you see 2 graphs of an average drying process.
- The red line is the measured temperature that follows the adjusted temperature line
- (yellow).
- The blue line is the measured RH (relative moisture content) that follows the adjusted temperature line (green)
Below a graph of the CSD-120 dryer ( the dryer follows the desired RH set point exactly)
Below a graph of a drying process of a competitively drying brand (you see that the measured RH is fluctuating around the desired RH). This is caused because the compressor switches on and off continuously. The result is that the actual absolute moisture content is higher as reflected on the screen.
Benefits CSD-120:
- Drying capacity is continuously variable (10 - 100 %).
- A complete closed system.
- System is designed for long-term cooling fluid R410a (standard cooling fluid like R404a or R507 will may not be used by several years).
- Verifiable and reproducible drying process.
- Support possible via Internet.
