Abstract

See full text

To manufacture a seed mat, a conveyor moves a layer of straw from a distribution bin where it is distributed against the top run of the conveyor belt which carries it underneath low pressure glue sprayers. After the glue is sprayed on, starter fertilizer granules are gravity fed on and a layer of paper is applied on top of it with a pressure roller. Glue is lightly sprayed on top of the paper and seed properly distributed in a fashion so that it may be visibly observed for quality control. After the seeds have been distributed in the glue, another layer of paper is placed on top of it and the mat runs through a drying oven to remove excess moisture at a temperature of between 100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit for between one minute and three minutes.
