4. What Is the Working Principle Of Seed Counting Machine?

To be honest, the working principle of seed counting machine is very simple, it counts seeds by using vibration and photoelectric sensor, can automatically complete counting, filling, sealing, cutting, coding and other processes.

Working Principle of Seed Counting Machine-Photo Credit:Cremer

The first step is material feeding, the seeds are put into the vibrating plate, and then they are vibrated and fallen into the next station. The machine adopts photoelectric technology, when the seeds fall, the photoelectric sensor captures the seeds and takes pictures to complete the counting step.

Next step is bag filling, the counted seeds are filled into pre-made bags, and when there are enough amount of seeds filled into a bag, this bag will be sealed and discharged. Some models of seed counting machines have a printing function that will print the production date on the bags.

5. What Are The Functional Parts of Seed Counting Machine?

Now you have already known the working principle of seed counting machine, are you also curious about the structure of it, in the next part, you can see the main functional parts of this machine, such as:

Vibrating Plate: The vibrating plate is to let the seeds distribute evenly by the function of vibration, which can avoid seeds overlapping and ensure counting accuracy.

Photoelectric Sensor: This part plays a role in counting, it scans the seeds which are fallen from the vibrating chute to obtain a full projection image of them and then count them.

Display: During the counting process, the number of seeds will be suggested on the display.

Control Panel: In this part, you can turn on/off the machine and set up all the parameters such as speed, amount, etc.

Film Holder: The film which is used to make packaging bags are rolled on the film holder, when the machine makes bags, the film is pulled from the film holder.

Bag Making Device: In this part, the thin film is folded and the bottom is sealed so that a packaging bag is made.

Filling and Sealing Device: After the bags are made, the counted seeds are filled into the bags, when the filling process is finished, the top of the bag is sealed and the bag is cut.

Discharge Port: After the bag is filled, sealed and cut, it will fall and slide out the discharge port.

6. How Many Types Of Seed Counting Machines Are Available On The Market?

In terms of the degree of automation, seed counting machines can be divided into three types: automatic seed counting machine, desktop seed counting machine and manual seed counting machine.

Automatic Seed Counting Machine

Automatic seed counting machine is produced for counting seeds, it has pretty high speed that can count thousands of seeds per minute. In addition, this machine has high accuracy rate which can reach 100%. Automatic seed counting machine is quite suitable for mass production and industries which have high precision requirements.

When using an automatic seed counting machine, the operator only need to click relevant buttons and then just wait for the counting result.

Desktop Seed Counting Machine

As the picture shows, this type of seed counting machine is small and compact, it can be easily assembled, because it doesn’t occupy too much space, you can use it on any desktop, isn’t it convenient?

Desktop seed counting machine consists of sample plates, display, control panel, frame, it is easy to operate, you need to put seeds into the sample plate, and turn on the machine, set up parameters, and then the machine will begin counting. This machine is suitable for small to medium scale production.

Manual Seed Counting Machine

Manual seed counting machine, also known as seed counting plate, there are many holes on the plate which are used to put seeds. The operator need to put seeds into the holes by hand, the speed is lower than that of automatic seed counting machine.

The size, shape and quantity of the manual seed counting machine are fixed so that it has many limitations. It can only count a certain amount of seeds for one turn, and a manual seed counting machine is not suitable for all kinds of seeds, if you have many different kinds of seeds to be counted, you should purchase several seed counting plates.

7. How Does Seed Counting Machine Differ From Tablet Counting Machine?

Are you curious about the difference between seed counting machine and tablet counting machine? The two machines are both used to count products, and in some case they are generic, however, there are also many differences between them, which are as follows:
