Eccentric Stone Separator

The eccentric stone separator has a working principle based on density differences. After the seeds enter the machine, they are separated by the eccentric movement. As the seeds move inside the machine, usually in an axial movement, stones and heavy foreign matter are separated from the seeds by this movement.

Tanis Eccentric Stone Separator: High-Precision Density-Based Separation

A Critical Cleaning Step for Safe Production

In grain and pulse processing, products must be controlled not only for visual but also for physical quality. Raw materials coming from the field may contain stones, glass fragments, metals, soil, and other foreign materials with different densities. Allowing such impurities into the food chain not only lowers quality but also poses safety risks. The Tanis Eccentric Stone Separator, with its density-based precision separation technology, eliminates these risks.


Working Principle

The eccentric stone separation system operates through the combined effect of vibration on specially inclined sieves and an upward-directed airflow.

High-density particles such as stones move in a different direction under the influence of vibration and airflow, exiting through separate outlets. Meanwhile, lighter and healthy grains naturally continue along the product flow. The eccentric mechanism ensures fast, continuous separation without damaging the product.


Application Areas

The Tanis Eccentric Stone Separator can be used in various processing lines that require high-precision separation:

  • Seed processing plants

  • Flour and semolina mills

  • Chickpea, bean, and lentil processing lines

  • Feed production facilities

  • Grain pre-cleaning stations

  • Quality control points before packaging


Key Features

  • Eccentric Mechanism: Balanced and powerful vibration for continuous operation

  • High Separation Efficiency: Up to 98% stone removal

  • Double-Stage Screening: Special table design for pre-separation and final cleaning

  • Gentle Product Handling: Non-damaging surface contact for sensitive seeds
