Page 19: Supply Hopper, Atomizer Chamber
LPH800 TREATER SUPPLY HOPPER The supply hopper has a capacity of approximately 7 units of seed. The hopper supplies seed to the atomizing chamber where seed first comes in contact with the treatment. The seed flow is controlled by an adjustable seed gate. Refer to the Calibration section page 30 for instructions on adjusting the seed flow gate. -

The LPH800 Treater also comes standard with telescoping fork lift pockets. These pockets can be slid out from underneath the treater to allow a fork lift to pick up the treater from it’s discharge end. -
Page 21: Mix Tank, Calibration Tube
LPH800 TREATER MIX TANK The LPH800 Treater includes a 30 gallon stainless steel chemical mix tank. This mix tank will have electric drive agitation that is turned on or off from a manual switch. The agitator should be running at all times when treatment is present in the mix tank to keep the chemical mixed and in a suspended state. -
Page 22: Peristaltic Pump Heads And Motor
LPH800 TREATER PERISTALTIC PUMP HEADS AND MOTOR The LPH800 Treater utilizes a variable speed peristaltic pump and special norprene pump tubing for liquid metering. The pump comes equipped with a peristaltic pump head. Liquid will only come into contact with the inside diameter of the pump tubing and not the pump. - Page 23 LPH800 TREATER PUMP #1 LIQUID SYSTEM VALVES SEED TREATMENT SOURCE VALVE: This valve controls where pump #1 is drawing liquid from. Pump #1 Drawing from Pump #1 Drawing from bottom of Mix Tank bottom of Calibration Tube SEED TREATMENT: This valve controls the direction of the liquid coming from pump #1.
