ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for disinfecting seeds using hot water. The apparatus includes a disinfection container for holding water. A hopper feeds seeds into the disinfection container. A heater heats the water in the disinfection container. A temperature sensor detects a temperature of the water. A control box controls the heater in response to a detected signal. A cylindrical hot-water circulation chamber moves the seeds from the hopper to the lower portion of the disinfection container. A water jetting pipe jets water fed from a circulation pump towards the upper portion of the hot-water circulation chamber, thus dispersing the seeds. A storage tube temporarily stores the seeds. A feed tube feeds the seeds from the storage tube to the outside. An air jetting pipe jets compressed air from an air pump and discharges the compressed air to an inlet of the feed tube.
