ABSTRACT:
An improvement in an apparatus for treating seeds or other particles with a liquid. The apparatus includes a receiving chamber for receiving particles and liquid, and means for conveying consecutive batches of particles and liquid to the receiving chamber. Liquid is metered in batches through a liquid metering means which includes a container and a cyclic container transport. The latter is responsive to the conveyance of batches of particles to the receiving chamber and cycles the container between a dip position in a supply of treating liquid and a dumping position in which a batch of liquid is conveyed to the receiving chamber. The transport orients the container in its dip position so as to drain the container when the level of treating liquid recedes below the container. The retention of treating liquid in the container when the apparatus is not in use is thus avoided. The apparatus may include an auger for conveying particles and liquid from the receiving chamber with concurrent intimate mixing, the auger and receiving chamber being readily removable from the apparatus for cleaning.
