At Red River – Van Eck quality starts with the careful selection of the best quality seeds, procured in close cooperation with our local partners from countries around the world. In Zevenbergen we monitor the product throughout the different processes; from the initial analysis at the intake of raw materials to its final packaging and delivery.
The first cleaning steps consist out of aspiration and followed by ten sieves and screens. The sieves and screens are adjustable upon customer requirements and preference. After these steps the product will get to a B-7 separator which allows for additional extraction of impurities. After passing a final screen and two double rare earth magnets, the product is secured in a storage tank. Depending on the product we can include a de-stoning step or indent separator in the cleaning process.
