A Great Start

One of the most important steps in growing sprouts is proper seed sanitizing and soaking.  This is critical for three reasons:

  • To kill human pathogens such as E.coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella.
  • To kill plant pathogens that can destroy crops.
  • To get  even germination, leading to higher yields and more consistent production.

Whether you are a first time grower, or a large producer, we have the proper sanitizing/soaking equipment to fit your needs.

Automatic Seed Sanitizing/Soaking System

Mung Bean Seed Sanitizer and Soaker
The fully automated ISS Sanitizing/Soaking System is the best way to start mung bean sprouts.  The process involves seed transport, seed weighing, water filling and removal, agitation, chlorination, ozonation (optional), aeration, filtering, weighing the germinated seed and distributing it evenly into each bin. 

This system improves yields by giving even germination and is a real labor savor for large growers.  It exceeds FDA seed sanitation regulations.  We can make these in any size and as cost effective or sophisticated as you choose.
