GTS Series High Output Seed
Treating Systems
GTS 20 Series
 The
GTS 20 series machines are designed for today’s high volume
treatment requirements where accuracy of treatment application is
critical. The GTS systems come in both standard and automated
configurations.
All GTS systems offer the following features:
• High flow application chambers.
• High speed application atomizers heads.
• Quick release stainless steel chamber body.
• High volume variable speed drive peristaltic pump systems for
accurate application of seed treatment materials.
• Low seed in-feed sensor.
• Variable pitch coating drum.
• GTS 20 units will process approximately 2000 bushels of
soybean/corn product per hour.
GTS 10/20A Systems
The GTS-A (Automation) systems are
based on the standard GTS units augmented with variable speed power
feed seed wheel assemblies, and a complete automation package
featuring PLC driven computer systems and operator touch screen
interfaces. When coupled with the loss in weight tank options
available with the GTS-A systems, the automation system offers
automatic batch configuring and electronic flow control matching.
This system allows the GTS-A operator to see a real-time readout of
system performance in both alpha numeric mode* and a full real-time
graphing mode of the systems application performance. (*in
Automation Package #2)
 GTS-A
Power Feed Seed Wheel
The seed wheel is offered as part
of the automation package. The seed wheel features a segmented wheel
with 16 pockets of identical volume. The wheel is driven by a 1 Hp
90 volt PMDC motor that is monitored with an encoder interfaced with
the PLC in the main control panel.
GTS-A Loss in Weight Tank System
The loss in weight tank system is
available in 30 and 50 gallon poly and 27 and 60 gallon stainless
steel tank versions. The loss in weight system is required with the
Automation Package #2. All tanks are also available as standard
tanks, without the load cells, when used with the GTS Automation
Package #1. All tanks come standard with integrated mixing units,
and all require plumbing fittings.
In the loss in weight configuration the tank can be refilled at any
time without affecting the flow control management system. The
computer will instantly recalibrate the system and continue all
monitoring functions without any operator input.
GTS Operator Interface Options
There are two operational interface
packages available for the GTS systems.
Automation Package #1
- 4" color touch screen
operator interface with the following features:
- Drum ON/OFF function
with variable drum speed select.
- Seed wheel ON/OFF
function with variable speed select.
- Pump ON/OFF function
with variable speed select.
- Pump priming and reverse
function.
- All pump functions
available for two pumps per machine standard.
- Pump calibration and
reference file page.
- Timer function page, on
and off delay setting capabilities for seed wheel and pump
systems.
- Automatic cascading
shutdown function for low seed sensing.
- Built in seed flow
calculator for ease of seed treatment calculation.
- Seed flow totalizer weight
readout, with preset function, allows operator to set system
to treat predetermined amount and automatically shut down
when the preset weight has been treated.
- Totalizer can also be run
in bypass mode to allow operator to keep track of total
weight run without automatic shutdown function.
Automation Package #2
Includes all of the
features of Package #1, plus:
- 12" color touch screen
operator interface in place of the 4" touch screen.
- Loss in weight treatment
delivery and monitoring system:
- Using a PID control
system the GTS loss in weight process keeps track of the
seed delivery system, and matches it electronically to
the seed treatment delivery system, to assure the
correct amount of treatment is being applied to the
seed.
- This Automation Package #2
requires the purchase of the loss in weight tank system.
