Having been weighed and the moisture tested, any drying is carried out before it is delivered into the cleaning system, or temporarily stored in one of 120 silos. The Westrup screen/air machine is first in the processing system. It is a system of vibrating screens through which the seed travels, and stubble, weed seeds, plant debris, dirt and stones, insects, husks and any other contaminants are removed. Indent cylinders separate short from long seeds, and the gravity table separates light from heavy.

Velvet rollers separate seed by surface type and do an excellent job of removing dock, wireweed and yellow burr weed from lucerne, persian and white clovers. The spirals separate flat from round seed.

From there it is loaded into containers for export or despatched to Australian destinations.

Tatiara Seeds organises all the paperwork for the seed, including inspection of containers, arranging AQIS testing of seed, sending samples for official purity and germination testing, and tracking of the product at every stage. [size=150][url=https://www.tatiaraseeds.com.au/services/seed-drying]Seed Drying[/url][/size] [img]https://d2kvhj8ixnchwb.cloudfront.net/tatiaraseeds-prod-kfsrescdn/services/seed-drying/5e6767e0-29a3-4139-8cec-51abde074103.jpg.17104821662631592b592144a35c1cc2da81633311[/img] Tatiara Seeds purchased its first grain dryer in 1985. Since then demand for drying seed has increased to such an extent that there are 3 Vertec grain dryers available to dry any type of seed. Lucerne and Phalaris seed growers are the greatest users of the grain dryers to remove moisture so that the seed can be safely stored. The grain dryers use gas to heat and dry the air which then passes through the seed, taking moisture with it. The temperature is carefully monitored so that germination is not affected. The cost is determined by the size of the lot, the amount of moisture to be removed, the type of seed and the amount of gas used. Graham Ramsdale or Peter Maddern are available to discuss any needs relating to drying seed.

Tatiara Seeds has been in operation since 1976. It began in Bordertown, with one processing plant and a single operator. We expanded to Bordertown and Keith in 1998 with a total of ten processing plants (2 at Keith), and a staff of up to 40. We are now back to just the Bordertown site after selling the Keith site to Peters Commodities on 1/2/24.

Graham or any of his team of experienced seed cleaners can advise you about all aspects of weed seed removal and processing to eliminate any other contaminants.
