Introduction

Gustafson’s HCBT-800 continuous ow treater is designed for treating many crops including

soybeans, wheat, rice and peas. Operators can treat from a seed holding bin or from bulk seed bags.

USE CAUTION!

Always use caution and common sense

when working with any chemical.

Read the product label and MSDS

carefully and follow their

instructions exactly as described.

Installation

Treater Discharge End

1. Provide a mounting surface which is a oor or frame

strong enough to support the HCBT and the weight of the

seeds you will process at any one time. Consider also the

weight of any conveying system for input and discharge as

well as the weight of containers at both ends of the process.

Your input feed and output collector should be of equal

capacity.

2. Secure to the mounting surface

a 2” X 32” angle iron directly in front of the frame on the discharge end of the HCBT. The angle iron is used to keep the HCBT from moving forward while allowing the angle of the machine to be changed for various capacities and crops.

Intstallation (continued)

3. Use a chain hoist or jack

to lift the Inlet End of the HCBT approximately 6”.

5. Thread the ¾” – 10 SQ Adjuster Nut

from the bottom of the bolt up to allow approximately 4” of

space from the bottom of Adjuster Nut to the lower end of

the bolt.

6. Position the Lift Support

below each bolt. Lower the HCBT to allow some weight to

be on the Lift Support. Position the Lift Support parallel to

the treater frame. Completely lower the HCBT onto the Lift

Support. Bolt or weld the Lift Support to the oor.

Inlet Hopper

Intstallation (continued)

7. Place the Inlet Hopper

on the treater and bolt in place.

8. Once the treater is permanently mounted

have the machine wired by a qualied electrician.

The treater requires 220 VAC / 60 HZ, 19amps, single phase. The treater has a male plug directly wired to the control box. The female end of the plug should be wired as shown.

Ensure that your delivery and discharge system

can handle the product ow you select.

stimated capacities for the treater:

Soybeans = 800 pounds per minute Wheat = 400 pounds per minute Rice = 400 pounds per minute

to F (TREAT).

Note: When facing the discharge end of the drum,

it should be rotating counter clockwise. If the drum is

running clockwise turn the drum switch OFF,

disconnect the power source and rewire the female plug,

reversing the 120vAC supply wires (refer to stp 8 on page
