BULK SYSTEMS BUILT AROUND THE WAY YOU TREAT.

Need to treat more seed, faster? Unified Ag Solutions designs and supplies custom bulk seed treating systems for seed companies, large-scale operations and high-volume growers.

From drum seed treaters and automation to bulk bins, conveyors, weighing systems, pump stands and controls, UAS can help design a complete system around your treating volume, facility, workflow and budget.

And we don't stop at the equipment. Our team provides site planning, custom CAD design, installation support, setup, calibration, training and 24/7 service to help keep your system running when treating season gets busy.

WHAT IS A BULK SEED TREATING SYSTEM?

A bulk seed treating system is a high-capacity setup designed to store, move, measure, treat and discharge seed efficiently at larger volumes.

Unlike a box-to-box setup, a bulk system can bring multiple pieces of equipment together into one integrated treating operation, including:

Bulk Bins • Conveyors • Hoppers • Weighing Systems • Drum Seed Treaters • Pump Stands • Automation • Controls

Depending on your operation, a bulk site can use either batch or continuous-flow processing, with automation controlling seed flow, treatment recipes, weighing and chemical application. UAS already has supporting content explaining the distinction between batch and continuous-flow systems, which I'd internally link here.

WHEN SHOULD YOU UPGRADE TO A BULK SYSTEM?

Moving from box-to-box treating to a bulk system is a significant investment—but for higher-volume operations, it can dramatically change the way seed moves through the facility.

A bulk system may make sense if you:

  • Treat large quantities of seed

  • Need to increase treating capacity

  • Want greater automation and efficiency

  • Need more weighing and metering options

  • Regularly switch between treatment recipes

  • Want to reduce manual seed handling

  • Are outgrowing your current box-to-box setup

  • Want a system designed to grow with your operation

UAS currently positions these systems primarily for seed companies, large-scale operations and farmers with 10,000+ acres.

WHAT GOES INTO A BULK SEED TREATING SYSTEM?

DRUM SEED TREATERS

The heart of the treating system. Fully automated drum treaters provide continuous seed flow and precise treatment application for high-volume operations.

PUMP STANDS

Deliver seed treatment accurately with pump configurations designed around your products, rates and level of automation.

AUTOMATION & CONTROLS

Bring the system together with controls that can manage treatment recipes, seed flow and other functions from a centralized interface.

BULK SEED BINS

Store and handle seed efficiently before and after treating. UAS offers smooth-wall bulk bins with options including seed ladders and aeration.

CONVEYORS

Move seed through the system—from bins and hoppers to the treater and final destination. UAS offers under-bin, bin-fill, truck-unload and other conveyor configurations based on site layout and capacity needs.

WEIGHING & METERING

Accurately control how much seed enters the treating system using weighing and metering technology matched to your operation.

CUSTOM BULK SYSTEM DESIGN

YOUR FACILITY ISN'T OFF THE SHELF. YOUR SYSTEM SHOULDN'T BE EITHER.

Topography. Building dimensions. Ceiling height. Bin placement. Truck access. Seed flow. Treating volume.

Every bulk site is different.

UAS works with you to determine how equipment should fit together within your operation, then creates custom CAD layouts to help plan your bulk treating system before installation begins. The goal is to build around your space and workflow—not force your operation around the equipment.
