Devices For Use In Treating Seeds, And Related Methods

A seed treatment device comprising:

• a mixing chamber in which seeds and a seed treatment formulation are mixed when received therein, the mixing chamber having an interior portion and a vertical axis;
• a body including an inner surface defining at least part of the mixing chamber;
• a rotor positioned at least partly in the body and including an inner surface defining at least a lower portion of the mixing chamber, the rotor configured to rotate relative to the body about the vertical axis of the mixing chamber, to thereby cause the seeds in the lower portion of the mixing chamber to flow upwards along the inner surface of the rotor and along the inner surface of the body;
• a lid detachably coupled to the body and defined by a perimeter edge, the lid including an inner face surface adjacent to the mixing chamber when the lid is coupled to the body;
• and
• one or more baffles disposed in the mixing chamber, wherein each baffle of the one or more baffles comprises a first concave surface and a second concave surface both facing at least partly toward the interior portion of the mixing chamber, the first concave surface configured to redirect the seeds and the treatment formulation in the mixing chamber toward the interior portion of the mixing chamber when the rotor rotates in a first direction and the second concave surface configured to redirect the seeds and the treatment formulation in the mixing chamber toward the interior portion of the mixing chamber when the rotor rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction.
