This model comes standard with a manual adjustable seed flow gate with the option for Loss-In-Weight to make calibrating that much simpilar. The AT500 has the easy slide-out atomizer chamber but, instead of a drum to fully coat the seed, it uses a 12’ poly cupped flighting auger. This model also has the option for a very simple, manual dual (10 gal) poly tank pump stand which includes 2 peristaltic pumps, controller and mounts directly onto the machine. For the operators looking to be a little more precise with their seed treatment application, you can add dual volumetric flow meters.
U-Batch Series Treater
The U-Batch is one of the most versatile batch treaters on the market today.

With a capacity ranging from 100lbs to 2500lbs, the U-Batchoffers accuracy and versatility. This model offers 2 options depending on the building space available. There is the stationary option which requires a conveyor to feed the treater but, with enough space to treat directly into a box without the need for an outlet conveyor. The other option has hydraulic legs which allows you to dump a box into the hopper and (using the controls from the automation) raise the treater with the hydraulic legs to set your box underneath to treat into. The U-Batch treater can treat an entire pro-box in just 3-6 minutes. The U-Batch uses a large but gentle auger screw in the hopper to fully coat the seed in place of a drum.
