KSi Seed Treatment & Bulk Handling Systems

KSi Seed Treatment Systems

KSi launched into the marketplace over two decades ago with the original, patented, cleated belt conveyor, technology built to gently and efficiently move seed and other valuable materials at steep angles. That same spirit of innovation now drives KSi's bulk seed handling systems, KSi seed treatment applicators, and automation software. Working in partnership, Vistasort brings a wealth of experience in processing and design, pairing KSi's application and software technology with proven Western Canadian installation and support.
