Shared journey, shared success
Global food production starts with seed. GTE understands the importance of advancing the seed industry and is committed to providing specialist, technologically focused turnkey manufacturing equipment. Our aim is to empower our clients to work more efficiently and sustainably.
The 28th Asian Seed Congress provided the ideal platform for delegates to explore GTE and its global partners’ technologies. Our exhibit showcased GTE’s patented Seed Coater and Fluidised Bed Dryer, PETKUS Optical Sorter for fine seeds, and Profile Industries Rotary Sorter. Our team of experts from Australia, Germany, the USA, China, the Netherlands, and India were present to answer all questions related to seed processing, sorting, and enhancement technology. Together, we are creating tomorrow’s seed, feed, and food tech for today.
Live demonstrations
The multitude of visitors to our super booth experienced the patented Next Gen 600s Batch Seed Coater in action, designed to safeguard, uniform, and improve the quality of seed. Our coaters ensure every batch of seed is precisely coated, encrusted, or palleted, and they can produce pelleted vegetable and grass seeds up to 1200% build.
Our GTE Batch Seed Coaters stand out in the market due to the built-in automated self-cleaning system. The patented automated rotor and stator cleaning system guarantee optimal performance, saving you both time and money.
In addition to our coater, the GTE Fluidised Bed Dryer was demonstrated. This sustainable state-of-the-art dryer is designed to consume 20% – 30% less energy from a heat source than other dryers in the market. GTE is a pioneer in ‘true fluidisation’ conveying, with 100% product moment by air to reduce the risk of seed coat rub-off and enable uniformed drying of high-build seed coat (up to 1200% build in a single pass batch).
AR Technology
At GTE, we provide solutions. Visitors were treated to a fully immersive and guided augmented reality (AR) experience at our booth, showcasing our complete range of seed processing equipment. Through AR, visitors experience the impressive scale and intricate details of our seed processing and enhancement equipment. Furthermore, our experts were on hand to offer tailored recommendations to match each individual’s unique production requirements. We were thrilled to see so many visitors leave our booth feeling informed, inspired, and ready to take their seed processing operations to the next level.
