In the Netherlands, the pelleting rate for flower seeds approaches 100%; in the UK, it exceeds 95% for lettuce seeds; and in the US, the rate for small seeds like onion and celery hovers around 80%. For these markets, pelleting is no longer merely a “value-added” treatment but a standard procedure before seeds enter commercial distribution channels.
However, the situation is vastly different when looking at Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. For these same types of small vegetable seeds, pelleting penetration rates in these regions generally remain below 10%. This disparity stems not so much from the genetic quality of the seeds themselves as from a gap in processing capabilities: a lack of pelleting equipment capable of stable, high-volume production while ensuring excellent single-seed accuracy and uniformity.
Today, Carrot’s granuladora de semillas ensures superior seed yield, single-seed rates, and uniformity, making the seeds perfectly suited for subsequent seedling cultivation and mechanized precision sowing.
This system is a complete pelleting solution comprising four main components: the core pelleting unit, a Siemens control cabinet, a pulse dust collector, and an automatic lifting feeder.
The core unit precisely controls powder dispensing and water/liquid supply via a medical-grade peristaltic pump, allowing for liquid dosage control at the milliliter level. It utilizes an ultra-high-speed centrifugal granulation process; during pelleting, the seeds remain in a suspended state, ensuring each seed is evenly coated and achieving single-seed rates and uniformity levels exceeding 98%.
The Siemens control cabinet utilizes genuine Siemens components throughout, ensuring precise control, robust logic, and stable operation. It features a recipe memory function that eliminates the need for tedious manual mixing adjustments and reduces the level of manual intervention required; furthermore, the recipes are fully customizable.
The entire pelleting process takes place at low temperatures, ensuring that seed viability and germination rates remain unaffected.
En granuladora de semillas is a versatile, multi-purpose unit capable of pelleting a wide range of crops—such as chili peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, onions, carrots, celery, and lettuce—using the same equipment.
