Device for production of seedlings from seeds
US-7748165-B2Abstract
A device ( 1 ) for production of seedlings from seeds comprises a drum ( 3 ), with perforated walling, rotatable about the drum axis ( 4 ), disposed substantially horizontally, borne in a housing ( 2 ). In this drum ( 3 ) seeds are able to be filled, which seeds are able to be immersed in a water bath ( 5 ) together with the drum ( 3 ). For this purpose, the drum ( 3 ) rotates, whereupon the seeds and the seedlings sprouting therefrom are optimally turned and dispersed. The drum ( 3 ) is mounted on a support, which, along guide means fixed to the housing, is lowerable into the water bath ( 5 ) and liftable out of the same again by drive means. The drum ( 3 ) is thereby partly submerged in the water bath ( 5 ) in the lower position, whereas it is completely lifted out of the water bath ( 5 ) in the raised position. An optimal wetting and subsequent drying of the seeds is thus obtained in turn.
