Product Overview

Rotary 4 is Aginnovation’s compact rotary seed treater and coating system engineered for lab, R&D and pilot runs. A 4-inch drum driven by a variable-speed rotor with digital read-out lets you process anywhere from 5 g to 100 g of broad-acre seed—or up to 60 g of horticulture seed—per batch, delivering production-grade treatment on a research scale.

Built on the same commercial rotary batch technology used in full-size treaters, Rotary 4 applies film coatings, build-up layers or pelleting materials with pinpoint accuracy. 

Integrated controls—variable rotor speed, programmable timer and manual discharge straight into a seed packet—lock in repeatable protocols, making it easy to scale recipes from the bench to the production floor. Users report uniform coverage, faster turnaround between samples and significant labour savings.

Why it stands out for seed researchers

  • Consistent, uniform coverage on every sample
  • Rapid recipe development and quick scale-up to production treaters
  • Compact, plug-and-play design for any lab or pilot plant
