Abstract:
The present invention provides a device that allows for an arrangement for generating cold plasma using a high voltage power supply in a reactor tube which allows  continuous plasma treatment of flowable objects by way of self-conveying into and out of the plasma zone. This method of treatment allows continuous disinfection,  enabling seamless and hassle-free seed processing. The reactor processes the seeds by continuously directing the cold plasma on the surface of the seeds for an effective  amount of time without leaving any dead zone. Cold Plasma is generated on the principles of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) at atmospheric temperature and  pressure.
