Optimizing the Production Processes

JRS plant fiber materials are ideal for coating, incrustation and pelleting of many different seeds, e.g. sugar beet, sunflower, vegetable, flower, lawn or fine seeds. In the case of seed pelleting, the seeds are granulated with a specific compound that mainly consists of JRS wood and cellulose fibers. They act as fillers, texturizers and as ideal carrier for active substances.

Our toll production offers big-scale premixes for seed pelleting as well as sieving or dedusting steps.

JRS-HPMC cellulose ethers and compounds are binders for seed pelleting. They are also used in granulation processes for faster production and more uniform granules.

Special cellulose fibers act as spacers and prevent caking in the equipment and clumping of granules, may it be in production of pelleted seeds or fertilizer granulation.

JRS-Cellulose ethers based on HPMCs (hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses) are biodegradable, soluble cellulose derivatives. They provide a broad range of functional properties, which are utilized in manufacturing processes like granulating, seed pelleting, tableting and many more. HPMC film forming agents serve as a coating for a controlled, retarded release of active ingredients or as color-coding. 

HPMC binders allow efficient and smooth granulation processes. Furthermore, they increase the viscosity in liquid preparations and give them sticky properties. 

Modified, fibrillated cellulose fibers are coated with a vegetable oil in a specific way. As an additive in manufacturing processes, premixes or end products, the anti-dust products bind dust and microparticles. In this way, they improve health and safety at work, reduce material loss, cleaning time and cleaning effort in production.

In dry production processes, cellulose-based flowability agents ensure smooth processes. The special cubic particle structures have a minimum surface area and increase the free flow of bulk materials. As spacers and also by absorbing critical moisture, they prevent caking or bridging in the manufacturing process as well as clumping during storage of the end products.

The capillary effect of JRS plant fibers guarantees an efficient transport of moisture, both by water uptake and release. Consequently, drying processes can be shortened and production becomes more effective. The steady release of moisture in layers or bodies of different thickness assures a smooth drying without cracking or deformations.
