Uniform Treatment
Robust Design

In order to obtain the maximum pressing results, the adequate thermal treatment of the seed is essential.
This leads to spontaneous evaporation of water within the cellular structure of the seed and reduces the seed’s surface moisture. The decisive factor for this process lies in correct design and selection of the right system, while taking procedural and qualitative aspects into consideration.
