During the treating season the main or reserve tank will need refilling
regularly, sometimes daily. The treat should be located so that additional
materials (including water) can be put into the reserve tank without difficulty.
Floor-level reserve tanks with electric pumps which carry treatment solution
to the treat mounted above the bagging bin can be used. If the treatment
material is mixed with water, a source of clean filtered water must be available
at the reserve tank.
In some plants, it is convenient to have the treat mounted on an angleiron
frame equipped with heavy-duty rollers or casters. The treat can then
be rolled from place to place as required in the conditioning operations. In
such cases, a bagging attachment may be fastened to the treat for direct
bagging, or treated seed may be spouted into an elevator to feed them into
the bagging bin.
