The LPV Treater has taken customization to the next level. This treater will change the way you, and everyone in the industry, thinks about seed treaters.

The LPV’s revolutionary technology offers more diversified weighing and metering options that are more accurate, efficient and affordable. Choose what’s best for your operation!

The LPV’s revolutionary technology offers more

diversified weighing and metering options that are

more accurate, efficient and affordable. Choose what’s best

for your operation!

Need a seed metering wheel or Tri-Flo® for continuous

treating? Done.

What about loss in weight for a complete box to box

configuration? Sure.

Maybe even a weight belt for smaller grains? You got it.

The LPV is the only treater designed to handle all three metering options, but the re-engineering didn’t stop there. The standard 42” tilting drum makes cleaning easier than ever, and the larger drum gives seed more opportunity to dry on its own. The lower head height allows the LPV to easily fit in existing buildings under 16.5’, and even though the drum is larger, the LPV boasts a smaller footprint with extra discharge space and better height advantages - 22” shorter with the loss in weight configuration! Once again, USC has set the standard in seed treating technology. The

LPV’s innovative and economical design, combined with an efficient, user-friendly and configurable total system is like none other.

Quick Facts & Stats:• Boasts 3 proven weighing methods: Seed Metering Wheel, Loss in Weight & Weight Belt• Fits under 16.5’ building• Adjustable chamber controls flow of seed, unlike other treaters• Patented sleeve controls seed entering atomizer, giving a more accurate metering solution• Runs on a more horizontal level, giving a more natural opportunity for coating and drying• 8’ long, 42” wide tilting drum ranges from -5 to +2 degrees• Quickest cleanout: within 15 seconds• 17” wider frame offers more stability for stacking boxes• No need to ‘flip’ boxes between emptying and filling• When drum tilts, atomizer always stays level• Extra discharge space for cleanout and conveyors

103” 112”

35.7” 35.7”

LPV and LPX have the same discharge height; the difference being the LPV’s discharge is level, allowing for better coverage at the beginning of the run, a more consistent coating during and a more natural drying experience at the end, giving a perfectly polished batch of seed. Above all, the LPV’s ability to

tilt, ranging -5 to +2 degrees, will clean a drum within 15 seconds!

The Difference is in the Discharge:

USC Pump Stands are the premier pump stand in the industry, designed to be a simple addition to any seed treatment operation.

USC engineers design the entire line of pump stands with the customer in mind ensuring chemical accuracy is achieved. USC understands how critical it is to make sure treatment isn’t wasted. Chemical flow meters, calibration tubes and full integration are a few reasons why USC pump stands consistently, and accurately, perform. Whether its soybeans, cotton or wheat, USC’s large variety of tank and pump sizes guarantee

chemical won’t be wasted. Choose from Manual, Automated, Universal or U-Tote-Direct Inject!

• Single-sided operator access • Agitation in mix tank • Optional calibration tube • Optional flow meter • Optional tank scale

Automated: • Automatic calibration from touch screen • PLC reporting of chemical type & amount per run • 30 or 60 gallon stainless steel tanks • 1, 2 or 3 head peristaltic pump • Agitation in mix tank • Volumetric or mass flow meter • Single-sided operator access • Optional calibration tube • Optional tank scale

Universal Pump Stands: • Stainless or poly tanks • Calibration tube creates closed system • Volumetric flow meter • 1 or 2 head peristaltic pump • Automated flow control

Universal Controller: • Control up to 12 Universal Pump Stands • Custom PID settings for unique pumping situations • Each chemical saves with name & calibration • Two modes of speed control: Flow Rate & Percentage • Two modes of run control: Auto & Hand

NEw!USC’s Universal products streamline the treating process creating a true continuous solution for the most custom treating process. Go Universal: Save time. Spend less. Get more.

COMPETITOR UNIVERSAL THE DIFFERENCE

PRESCRIPTION RECIPE Prescriptions take much longer to create, while recipes are ready to go on the fly and batch by batch.

CLOGGED LINES

UNCLOGGED LINES Chemical build-up prone in thinner chemical lines, making it difficult to find. Larger-diameter tubing won’t clog and is transparent in nature.

EXTRA STEP STREAMLINED TREATING

Competitors don’t work without a real treating system. Known for complete, customized treating solutions, the Universal products eliminate unnecessary steps in the treating process.

ONE PUMP MULTIPLE PUMPS

Chemical companies prefer separate pumps for the following reasons: chemical preservation, simple packaging/shipping, and higher-risk chemicals are kept separate from others.

ADDITIONAL SCREEN

ONE PANEL DESIGN Universal Controller ties into USC’s complete, single automation platform keeping the entire treating process on one, user-friendly screen.

SCALE FLOW METERThe Universal U-Tote uses flow meter technology instead of a scale to regulate applications. Unlike scales used outside in the elements, ike wind which discount accuracy in a loss in weight system, flow meters work in any environment as they are not reliant upon a scale.

Combine Totes & Tanks in one Setting!

Universal Pump Stands are

configurable to work in virtually

any setting, alongside any

treater!

DON’T BLEND ANyTHINg UNTIL IT’S TIME TO TREAT!

U-Tote technology creates a perfect, continuous blend that’s an easy addition to any operation.
