Seed Treater FAQs
-
What size operation is a seed treater best suited for??
Seed treaters are valuable for both large farming operations (1,000+ acres) and independent seed dealers. Larger farmers often choose to treat seed themselves for cost savings and greater control, while dealers use them to expand their business offerings. Learn more about our seed treaters.

Bulk Seed Treating FAQs
-
What is the difference between bulk and box-to-box treating?
Bulk systems handle larger volumes of seed in big bins, while box-to-box setups transfer seed directly between boxes for flexibility and smaller batches. Explore both options on our bulk treating page and box-to-box page.
-
What crops can be treated in bulk?
Corn, soybeans, wheat, and small grains can all be handled with bulk treaters. We also support blends and inoculants.
-
How does UAS ensure even coverage in bulk treating?
Our systems are engineered for precision application, ensuring every seed is coated consistently. Combined with our line of seed treatments, you get accurate, uniform protection.
-
Is bulk treating faster than box-to-box?
Yes—bulk treaters are ideal for high-volume operations where efficiency is critical. Box-to-box treaters are best for flexibility or smaller runs.

Do bulk systems require special maintenance?
Routine cleaning and winterization are important to keep equipment running smoothly. Our Welcome Kit and team provide detailed instructions for maintaining your system year-round.
