Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in treating seeds. In one example embodiment, such a system includes a keg assembly including a seed treatment and a seed treater in fluid communication with the keg assembly via a supply line. The seed treater includes an application chamber configured to receive the seed treatment from the keg assembly via the supply line and apply the seed treatment to seeds. The system also includes a priming assembly coupled to the supply line and configured to automatically prime the supply line with the seed treatment, and a seed metering chamber configured to deliver an amount of the seeds to the application chamber based at least in part on a weight of the seeds received in the seed metering chamber.

Abstract: Seed treatment cleaning systems and methods are provided. One example system includes a delivery assembly configured to couple to the seed treater, and a supply assembly configured to couple to the delivery assembly. The delivery assembly includes a cover plate, and a sprayer and a recovery wand coupled to the cover plate. The supply assembly includes a tank configured to hold cleaning fluid, a pump in communication with the tank and sprayer, and a vacuum in communication with the recovery wand. The pump is configured to pump the cleaning fluid from the tank to the sprayer for cleaning a mixing chamber of the seed treater of residual seed treatment and/or seeds. The vacuum source is configured to create a vacuum at the recovery wand for retrieving the cleaning fluid from the seed treater's mixing chamber, and the recovery wand is configured to provide the retrieved cleaning fluid to the tank.
