LPH800 TREATER
ROTATING DRUM
The rotating drum comes is six feet long and accepts treated seed through the opening
on the hopper end. As seed passes through the length of the drum it is tumbled,
producing accurate and uniform seed coating. The seed then exits the seed treater
out the discharge end of the machine.
Never allow exposure of persons or clothing to the drive shaft,
idler wheels, or the drum during operation. Always have the
safety shields in place during operation.
The time it takes for seed to move through the drum both during and at the end of the
run can be changed by lowering or raising the pins on the legs of the discharge end of
the treater. When the pins are in the same hole on all of the treater legs, the treater
has a natural downward tilt towards the discharge end of the treater. Lowering the pins
on the discharge end’s legs will give the treater more tilt during operation which will
allow seed to travel through the drum at a faster rate. Vice verse, raising those pins
will cause seed to stay in the drum longer.
It is not recommended to lower the discharge end’s pins more than
one hole setting different from the inlet end’s pins. If this is done,
a loss in seed coverage and chemical coating may occur.
The LPH800 Treater also comes standard with telescoping fork lift pockets. These
pockets can be slid out from underneath the treater to allow a fork lift to pick up the
treater from it’s discharge end.
