Claim 0:
1. A seed treating assembly, comprising:
a chute assembly including a first inclined treating surface and a second inclined treating surface spaced apart from the first inclined treating surface;
a first metering roller supported by the chute assembly and configured to meter a first seed curtain of seeds to the first inclined treating surface;
a second metering roller supported by the chute assembly and configured to meter a second seed curtain of seeds to the second inclined treating surface;
at least one nozzle supported by the chute assembly, the at least one nozzle configured to spray directly the first seed curtain and the second seed curtain with a liquid treatment spray;
a tunnel structure extending from the chute assembly;
a trough supported by the tunnel structure;
a wiper shaft supported by the tunnel structure and configured to rotate, a wiper membrane extending from the wiper shaft; and
a baffle assembly supported by the chute assembly, the baffle assembly defining (i) a first inclined guide surface, (ii) a second inclined guide surface that meets the first inclined guide surface at a peak, (iii) a first curved metering surface extending from the first inclined guide surface, and (iv) a second curved metering surface extending from the second inclined guide surface,
wherein the trough is configured to collect the first seed curtain and the second seed curtain as collected seeds,
wherein the at least one nozzle is configured to spray directly the collected seeds in the trough with the liquid treatment spray,
wherein the rotation of the wiper shaft moves the wiper membrane to empty the collected seeds from the trough,
wherein a first metering channel is defined between the first metering roller and the first curved metering surface,
wherein a second metering channel is defined between the second metering roller and the second curved metering surface,
wherein the seeds of the first seed curtain fall from the first curved metering surface onto the first inclined treating surface based on rotation of the first metering roller, and
wherein the seeds of the second seed curtain fall from the second curved metering surface onto the second inclined treating surface based on rotation of the second metering roller.
