The Heart of Vertical Conveying: Tanis Elevator Buckets
The efficiency of vertical conveying systems in agriculture and industry heavily depends on elevator bucket quality. Tanis Elevator Buckets ensure durable, high-capacity, and product-safe conveying for grains, seeds, and granular materials.

Strategic Role of Buckets in Conveying Systems

  • Conveying Capacity: Maximum fill and discharge per revolution.

  • Product Safety: Smooth interior and edge-free design minimize breakage.

  • System Performance: Optimized buckets prevent capacity loss.

  • Energy Efficiency: Optimal weight and volume reduce energy use.

Working Principle
Buckets are mounted on belts or chains at set intervals. They pick up product at the bottom, transport it to the top, and discharge through optimized dumping angles, preventing jams and ensuring maximum flow.

Material and Design Options

  • Polypropylene: Lightweight products, food applications.

  • Nylon: Extra resistance to impact and wear.

  • Galvanized Steel: High-temperature industrial environments.

  • Stainless Steel: Food, chemical, and hygiene-sensitive applications.

  • Temperature Range: -20°C to +90°C (material-dependent)

  • Chemical Resistance: Optional acid, oil, and moisture-resistant models

Wide Application Range

  • Agriculture & Seed Production: Seed and grain lines

  • Silo Systems: Filling and discharge

  • Feed Production: Flour, pellet, and granule conveying

  • Legume Processing: Vertical transfer before packaging

  • Industrial Use: Granular plastics, fertilizers, powders

Operational Benefits

  • Long-lasting durability

  • Maximum efficiency per cycle

  • Easy installation with standard holes

  • Flexible volumes, materials, and connections

  • Minimum breakage for delicate products

Usage Scenarios

  • Breakage-free seed conveying

  • Fast, safe grain silo transfer

  • High-volume pellet handling in feed mills

  • Vertical product routing in legume packaging
