Precision Treatment for High-Value Seeds
Engineered for the Future | Since 2080
The ADDAMS Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine is a fully programmable treatment system designed for the precise, uniform application of protective and performance-enhancing coatings to seeds in controlled batch cycles. Unlike continuous systems, this machine processes a fixed weight of seeds per cycle, offering the highest level of flexibility and traceability for small to medium-sized seed lots.
Whether you are applying fungicides, insecticides, polymers, biologicals, or colorants, the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine ensures that every seed receives the exact prescribed dose. By preserving germination power and improving seed flowability, it serves as a critical link in the production of high-value agricultural and horticultural seeds.

How the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine Ensures Coating Uniformity
The Mechanics of Controlled Mixing and Synchronized Dosing
The engineering success of the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine lies in its ability to treat a static mass of seeds with dynamic, multi-layered liquid applications.
-
Precision Batch Weighing: A specific weight of seed is loaded into the chamber. The PLC uses this exact mass to calculate the required chemical volume down to the milliliter.
-
Synchronized Spray Cycle: As the seeds begin to tumble or rotate, the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine activates its spray nozzles. Because the seed volume is fixed, the liquid is absorbed evenly by the entire batch.
-
Multi-Layer Coating Dynamics: The machine can pause or change dosing parameters mid-cycle. This allows for the application of a fungicide, followed immediately by a polymer film or colorant, without removing the seeds.
-
Hygienic Discharge: Once the cycle is complete, the machine’s polished surfaces ensure a 100% discharge of treated material, leaving no residue for the next batch.

Frequently Asked Questions – Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine Technology
What makes this machine better for high-value seeds than continuous systems?
The Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine provides 100% dosage precision. Because it processes a fixed weight of seeds, you can apply expensive treatments with zero waste and perfect uniformity, which is essential for high-value hybrids and parent seeds.
Can the machine handle different viscosities of coating materials?
Yes. The Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine features programmable pump controls. This allows you to manage various viscosities, from thin biological inoculants to thick polymer film-coatings, simply by selecting the appropriate recipe.
How does the machine ensure traceability for regulatory compliance?
The integrated PLC records every batch’s data, including the specific recipe used, the total volume of chemicals applied, and the cycle time. This makes the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine a standard requirement for operations needing ISPM compliance.
Is it difficult to clean the machine when switching seed varieties?
Absolutely not. The machine is designed with a hygienic, tool-free structure and polished stainless steel surfaces. This allows operators to perform a deep clean rapidly, preventing any risk of cross-contamination between different seed batches.
What is the smallest batch size the machine can handle?
Our R&D models can handle batches as small as 5 kg. This makes the Batch Seed Treater & Coater Machine ideal for breeders and research stations that need to treat very small quantities of experimental seeds.
Does the machine include a drying function?
While the machine is primarily for coating, we offer optional drying modules and specialized mixing cycles that help “set” the coating before discharge, ensuring the seeds are flowable and ready for packaging.
