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.
