DRUM PRE-CLEANING SCREEN

It is a compact machine used in seed cleaning and pulses classification systems. It is used for pre-cleaning before the product is taken into silos. It is used for cleaning granular products such as barley, wheat, legumes etc.

Tanis Drum Pre-Cleaning Screen: High-Capacity First Stage Cleaning

The First Step on the Path to Quality

In agriculture, seed production, and feed industries, quality begins with effective pre-cleaning. The cleanliness of raw materials directly impacts efficiency in all subsequent stages.

The Tanis Drum Pre-Cleaning Screen, with its robust structure and high capacity, ensures the first stage of cleaning by effectively separating stems, straw, stones, soil, hulls, and other foreign materials from the product.


Working Principle

The system operates with rotating drum technology:

  • Replaceable screen panels allow specific grain sizes to pass while separating impurities.

  • Adjustable parameters: rotation speed, drum inclination, and screen openings can be fine-tuned based on product type and impurity density.

  • Both coarse and fine unwanted particles are removed without damaging grain integrity.


Application Areas

The Tanis Drum Pre-Cleaning Screen is ideal for high-volume operations such as:

  • Seed pre-cleaning stations

  • Cereal and grain processing plants

  • Feed production facilities

  • Legume cleaning lines

  • Pre-cleaning before flour and semolina production

Since raw materials often contain foreign matter directly from the field, pre-cleaning is essential before storage or packaging.
