Tanis C-Type Elevator: Compact Design, Flexible Conveying
Efficient Horizontal–Vertical–Horizontal Transport
In modern seed processing and agricultural facilities, both vertical and horizontal conveying is often required within the same production line. The Tanis C-Type Elevator solves this need with a C-shaped bucket conveyor, transporting products gently at low speed, minimizing impact, and enabling horizontal → vertical → horizontal flow.
Designed for fragile, delicate, and high-value products, it combines space efficiency, low energy consumption, and high hygiene standards, making it a versatile industrial solution.
Operating Principle
-
Chain- or belt-driven bucket conveyor system
-
Product is loaded into horizontal infeed buckets
-
Lifted vertically along the vertical section
-
Discharged through the top horizontal section to the target machine, storage, or packaging unit
-
Low speed, vibration-free operation, and optimized bucket design minimize product damage
Durable and Hygienic Design
-
Body Material: Galvanized or stainless steel for durability and hygiene
-
Bucket Material: Food-grade plastic or metal, adaptable to product type
-
Dust Control: Sealed body design reduces dust formation
-
Easy Maintenance: Hinged panels, inspection windows, and quick-release covers for fast cleaning
Application Areas
-
Seed processing lines (after grader, trieur, or color sorter)
-
Lines requiring delicate product handling (hybrid seeds, fragile pulses)
-
Vertical feeding to packaging machines
-
Transfer from storage silos or bunkers
-
Compact plants requiring space-efficient solutions
-
Suitable for seeds, grains, pulses, granular feed, and food products

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which products can it be used for?
Wheat, corn, lentils, sunflower seeds, pulses, granular feed, and fragile food products.
Can height and length be customized?
Yes. Modular structure allows adaptation of conveying route, height, and horizontal distance.
Does it damage the product?
No. Low speed and special bucket design prevent crushing, breakage, or cracking.
Is cleaning and maintenance easy?
Yes. Hinged panels, inspection windows, and quick-release covers allow fast maintenance.
Can it connect to automation systems?
Yes. Fully compatible with PLC/SCADA systems; supports speed control, product level detection, and automatic stop.
Can it work in vertical and horizontal sections simultaneously?
Yes. The C-type design enables horizontal → vertical → horizontal conveying in one machine.
What is the noise level?
Thanks to the balanced motor and anti-vibration design, it operates quietly.
