Seed processing has always been one of HK Saaten’s core competencies. With state-of-the-art processing technology, many years of experience and the highest quality standards, we ensure precise and gentle processing of a wide variety of crops.
Alongside conventional seed, we process grain for the food sector and a wide range of other seeds, ensuring reliable separation of lots, species and quality grades – for maximum purity, traceability and product safety.
Quality doesn’t happen by chance. Here is some background:
Cleaning, calibration and sorting ensure that only evenly developed seeds are used. Benefits for the farmer: uniform germination, a homogeneous crop and easier crop management.
During processing, broken grains, foreign matter, weed seeds and impurities are removed. This reduces the risk of disease and contamination.
High-quality seed means fewer losses, better field emergence, higher yields and more efficient sowing. In the end, the farmer saves money.
Certified seed must meet numerous quality criteria, for example purity, germination capacity, varietal identity and moisture content. Without professional processing, these requirements often cannot be met.
Damaged, immature or diseased grains are removed. This raises the quality of the seed lot.
Good processing doesn’t just mean “cleaning a lot”. It means as much as necessary – as gently as possible. Every grain should keep its ability to germinate. Every grain counts.
We do not see this area as a mere service, but as quality work that carries great responsibility.
This is where it is decided whether the basis for the next process steps is right.
Precise, reliable and tailored to your individual requirements.
