Calculadora de capacidad de procesamiento de semillas.
Convierta un volumen estacional de semilla en rendimiento de línea requerido, producción acabada, carga de tratamiento y ensacado y almacenamiento pulmón de crudo. Resultado orientativo para definir el RFQ de una planta de semillas.
¿Cómo se dimensiona una planta de procesamiento de semillas?
Rendimiento de línea requerido (t/h) = recepción estacional de crudo ÷ (días de campaña × horas de turno × disponibilidad de línea). La producción de semilla acabada es la recepción cruda menos las pérdidas de proceso, de aproximadamente el 8–20 %, y las líneas de ensacado y tratamiento deben dimensionarse sobre el rendimiento acabado, no sobre la recepción cruda.
- Fórmula: t/h de línea = recepción cruda ÷ (días × turnos × horas × disponibilidad).
- Las plantas multicultivo suelen planificar un 65–80 % de disponibilidad, no el 100 %.
- Las pérdidas de limpieza, clasificación y gravimétrica suelen retirar el 8–20 % de la recepción cruda.
- Sacos por hora = t/h acabadas × 1.000 ÷ peso del saco (kg).
- Dimensionado solo orientativo — el diseño detallado requiere un ingeniero de procesos.
Estimate only — not a quotation. Outputs are indicative planning ranges based on the values you enter and typical commercial benchmarks. Real pricing, specifications and lead times vary by country, site conditions and supplier, and are confirmed only in written offers collected through a private RFQ.

Frequently asked questions
Rendimiento de línea requerido (t/h) = recepción estacional de semilla cruda ÷ (días de campaña × horas de turno al día × disponibilidad de línea). La disponibilidad tiene en cuenta cambios de formato, limpieza entre lotes, mantenimiento y paradas imprevistas — asumir un 100 % de tiempo operativo es el error de dimensionado más común.
La limpieza, clasificación, separación gravimétrica y calibrado eliminan paja, semilla ligera, calibres fuera de norma y materia extraña. La pérdida total de proceso suele estar en torno al 8–20 % según el cultivo, la limpieza de entrada y la exigencia de la especificación final. Producción acabada = recepción cruda × (1 − pérdida).
La disponibilidad es la proporción de horas programadas en que la línea realmente procesa semilla. Las plantas multicultivo con cambios de lote frecuentes suelen planificar al 65–80 %; las campañas largas de un solo cultivo pueden planificar más. Menor disponibilidad significa una línea físicamente mayor para el mismo volumen estacional.
El ensacado debe igualar o superar ligeramente el rendimiento de semilla acabada o se convierte en el cuello de botella. Sacos por hora = t/h acabadas × 1.000 ÷ peso del saco en kg. Compárelo con los sacos/hora nominales de la línea de ensacado y cosido, y dimensione tolvas pulmón entre proceso y ensacado.
El pulmón de semilla cruda desacopla los picos de entrega de cosecha de una línea de proceso más estable. Un punto de partida habitual es almacenamiento crudo para varios días de consumo de línea, más capacidad de segregación para cada variedad o lote manipulado simultáneamente, ya que la semilla debe ser trazable por lote en cada etapa.
No. Es un filtro orientativo de fase temprana para definir alcance y presupuesto. El diseño detallado de planta, la selección de equipos, la disposición, la ingeniería de polvo y seguridad y los requisitos de certificación necesitan un ingeniero de procesos cualificado. SeedMatchGroup convierte el resultado en un RFQ neutral frente a proveedores de equipos de procesamiento de semillas y EPC.
Understanding the values
What each choice in this calculator means, and how the options differ in practice.
- Area and layout
- Hectares alone are not a specification. Block dimensions, corridors and packhouse share decide how much of the site actually produces.
- Scenario testing
- Change one assumption at a time and record the effect. The value of the tool is comparing scenarios, not the single first number.

Illustration only, not a real project or quotation. This is the structure, equipment and site-works budget for the example greenhouse, not the price of this calculator’s individual system, seeds or inputs, and not a result calculated from your entries. Excludes land, permits, packhouse, financing costs and working capital.
Based on the published commercial greenhouse cost benchmark. Written offers require a private project review; commercial projects start from USD 250K.
What can change the result?
This is a preliminary planning estimate based on the values you entered. The variables below usually move the outcome most, and should be confirmed with an agronomist, engineer and supplier offers before final design.
- Crop and cultivar — water, climate and support requirements differ per crop
- Growing area and layout — hectares alone are not a greenhouse specification
- Local climate: temperature, humidity, radiation and wind exposure
- Growing system (soil, substrate, hydroponic) and plant density

Method and decision path
How to use this result in a commercial project
Use the result to test scope and compare scenarios. It is not a design, agronomic prescription, financing offer or supplier quotation.
1. Enter site evidence
Replace defaults with measured area, climate, water, energy, crop and commercial assumptions.
2. Test scenarios
Change one assumption at a time and record the effect on capacity, cost, demand or return.
3. Validate the duty
Ask the relevant agronomist, engineer or financial adviser to check the inputs and constraints.
4. Prepare a private RFQ
Carry the confirmed scope into a human-reviewed brief so written offers can be compared on the same basis.
Final specifications, performance, prices, supplier participation and timing depend on the site and written supplier responses; none is guaranteed by this calculator.
Tell us five things and we route your brief
These fields decide which specialist and which suppliers see your request. Nothing is submitted here — your answers are carried into the private RFQ.
The USD 250K project threshold applies to capital projects. Recurring fertilizer programmes are reviewed by shipment size, annual volume and sourcing fit.
A sourcing specialist shortlists reviewed providers for your scope and returns comparable offers. Supplier details stay with us — all communication runs through SeedMatchGroup.
Estimate only: these figures are indicative planning numbers, not a quotation. Final pricing, specifications and lead times come from supplier offers after your brief is reviewed.
