BUCKET ELEVATOR

The Bucket Elevator is designed for efficient and gentle vertical transportation of seeds,
grains, pulses, and bulk agricultural products in industrial processing facilities. Developed
for continuous and high-capacity conveying applications, the system ensures stable
product flow while minimizing product damage, dust formation, and material loss during
transfer operations.
Utilizing durable buckets mounted on a belt or chain system combined with optimized
discharge and lifting mechanisms, the Bucket Elevator provides reliable and energyefficient vertical conveying performance.

Tanis Bucket Elevator: Powerful Solution for Vertical Conveying

Efficient and Gentle Vertical Transport

In agriculture, seed, and grain processing facilities, vertical transfer between production levels is as critical as horizontal conveying. The Tanis Bucket Elevator meets this need with high efficiency, carrying products upward gently, safely, and reliably.

Its product-friendly design, compact structure, and durable components make it an indispensable machine for both grain conveying and seed transfer operations.


Working Principle: Bucket Lifting on Chain or Belt

  • Bucket Filling: Products enter the buckets from the bottom feeding point.

  • Vertical Transport: Buckets attached to a rotating belt or chain carry the product upward.

  • Discharge: Products are gently released at the top into the next processing stage.

This method prevents crushing or spillage, making it especially suitable for fragile seeds.


Application Areas

  • Vertical transport in seed, grain, and legume processing

  • Height transitions between machines (selectors, trieurs, graders)

  • Packaging and filling lines

  • Silo filling systems

  • Conveying pellets and granular products

  • Flour, feed, and food industry lines


Key Advantages

  • High Capacity: 2–60 tons per hour depending on model

  • Product-Friendly Design: Minimal breakage and friction

  • Durable Construction: Galvanized steel casing, wear-resistant buckets and chains

  • Easy Maintenance: Observation doors and maintenance windows allow quick cleaning

  • Energy-Efficient: Optimized motor power reduces energy consumption

  • Modular Design: Can be configured to fit different facility heights


Safe and Quiet Operation

  • Continuous, stable speed reduces vibration and product loss

  • Leak-proof casing minimizes environmental dust

  • Contactless conveying ensures food safety and compliance with hygiene standards


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which products can be conveyed?
Free-flowing agricultural and industrial products, such as wheat, corn, lentils, chickpeas, sunflower, feed, pellets, and granular materials.

Can the conveying height be adjusted?
Yes. Modular tower structure allows custom heights based on facility requirements.

Do products break during transport?
No. The bucket design ensures gentle contact, minimizing crushing and dropping.

Is cleaning easy?
Yes. Observation windows, maintenance covers, and bucket line access allow quick and safe cleaning.

Can it integrate with automation?
Yes. It can be synchronized with other machines via PLC or SCADA systems, with level sensors for start/stop control.
