Seed Coating, Pelleting & Encrusting Workshop Aug 27 - Aug 31st 2018
25th August 2018.
Centor Europe is pleased to be involved in this years Seed Coating, Pelleting and Encrusting workshop to be held in Phichit,Thailand from August 27 to 31st. Within weeks of opening the registration the event was fully booked indicating the need and importance for such a workshop. This year the event will be hosted by Rhino Research and we will be pleased to welcome 16 delegates from 12 companies over 9 countries. A true international event.
The goal of the workshop will be to supply delegates a wide variety of information and to answer the following questions;
- How can we start with seed coating?
- How can we decide which coating product would bring us and our customers (and finally the farmers/ seedling or plug raisers) the greatest advantage and return?
- Do we need to develop our own formulation?
- How can we get training and support for coating our seeds?
Seed coating is not learned at a school, but is usually in house or self tought. Therefore the same inefficiencies and traditions are applied throughout the years and transfered from coating opperator to opperator. Companies becomes very reliant on sales representatives of servicing the industry for new products, application and technologies, whereby often limiting their processing and product capabilities. With this workshop we aim to give the delegates background information about coating and coating types, product forms and how they are used in the market, technologies involved and quality tests and norms related to coating. Investment is also part of the equation and will be deonstrated between the choice of system, product, procedure and technology.
Apart from the theoretical background delegates will receive hours of hands on training on labscale coating as well as industrial scale coating. Not only coating but encrustment will also be practised.
