This trade fair was again a great pleasure for us! We would like to thank everyone who visited us and with whom we had great conversations!

8. January 2024 - Save the date!

Visit us at our stand at the DLG-Techniker-Tagung in Hannover, Eilenriede-Halle, on 30. 01. and 31.01.2024! We will show you our laboratory coating equipment and talk to you about your seed treatment.

5. January 2023 - Save the date!

Visit us at our stand at the DLG-Techniker-Tagung in Hannover, Eilenriede-Halle, on 31. 01. and 01. 02. 2023! We will show you our laboratory coating equipment and talk to you about your seed treatment.

19. July 2022 - SATEC Sticker WWL approved as an additive by the BVL (German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety)

Our proven Sticker for pelleting as well is now included in the additives list (list number LZ 026774-00). Therefore, it may also be used in combination with active substances/seed treatment products. As a lignin-based powder, it is suitable for use in the organic sector, in sensitive seedlings and in combination with other natural components. The concentration of the adhesive solution can be individually varied (recommended between 10-30%).

30. March 2022 - I as in IDEAL – SATEC Sticker I approved as an additive by the BVL (German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety)

We have been using SATECT Sticker I for some years in applications exempt from approval, and we are convinced of its excellent quality. It was therefore very important to us to get it approved as an additive. We have now managed to do this in cooperation with the manufacturer. You can find it in the additives list under the number LZ 00A788-00/00.

No other adhesive here has yet obtained such excellent results in the Heubach test, and this is why we are now using it as our standard: All other products are measured against it in our tests. SATEC Sticker I is a white, liquid polymer and can be easily used on all seed types. It can be combined with most coating agents/active substances and additives.

22. June 2021 - Fully automated! – Now available for use in laboratory/ application technology centres

1) The SATEC dosing unit SLP – more than just a simple pump!
We have once again improved our relatively new SATEC dosing unit SLP even further. It not only precisely pumps coating agents into the mixing chamber of the coating unit, it now also controls the entire coating process: precision product volume dosing, mixing time and discharging. All this means that our compact dosing unit can become the mobile brain behind your laboratory coating units! Dosing parameters can also be read in from a csv file.

2) SATEC laboratory and technology centre batch coater – upgradable and modifiable for even more ease of use!
The discharge valves can now also be pneumatically opened and closed at the press of a button, just like our large systems. They can also be automatically controlled using the above-mentioned SLP dosing unit, which ensures controlled mixing times. Alternatively, control systems for multiple pumps/powder dosing units are also available.

3. March 2021 - SATEC is Certified seed treatment facility for coating!

Since autumn 2020, we can use coating agents which are suitable for use in “Seed treatment facilities with quality assurance systems for dust reduction” (NT699X). This was published by the Julius Kühn Institute in Braunschweig in the descriptive list on 12.02.2021 in Part B / Testing agencies for the research sector: JKI list of facilities (in German only)

The test was implemented by Ms. Weimar-Bosse at JKI. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her time.
The test covered the following SATEC CONCEPT® machines: Micro, Macro, ML 1000, ML 2000, 2.10, 1.25, 1.50
The scope of testing was significantly greater than currently required. Thankfully, and sensibly, this requirement (“Seed treatment facility with quality assurance systems for dust reduction”) now only applies to seed treatment facilities used for batch sizes > 5 kg, such as our SATEC CONCEPT® 2.10 or 1.25, for example.

18. October 2020 - The active ingredient manufacturer has challenged this Commission decision in Brussels

The active ingredient manufacturer has challenged this Commission decision in Brussels, due to their deep conviction that they have again renewed their application for approval of a safe, effective and actually essential active ingredient. We are awaiting the court decision with interest. Read more HERE.

20. December 2019 - Try and touch SATEC Equipment!

Visit our stand at the DLG-Techniker-Tagung (Technical Exposition) at Hanover, 28 and 29 January 2020. We look forward to show you our latest developments in laboratory seed coating machinery.

10. September 2019 - A future without seed treatments?

Hard to imagine!  And we are not alone with our conviction. On the video of the European Seed Association, experts with practical experience explain the need for this most environmentally friendly of all plant protection techniques. In minutes 3.53 to 4.03, the video shows a coating plant with several SATEC Concept 1.50 coating machines, together with our dryers.
