Tanis Grading Sieve: Precision Sizing and Quality Separation
The Importance of Size Consistency in Product Quality
In the grain and seed processing industry, not only purity but also consistency of grain size is a critical factor that determines quality. Variations in size affect multiple processes—from germination rates to packaging accuracy. The Tanis Grading Sieve, with its multi-layer sieve structure and vibratory conveying system, separates products precisely according to size, standardizing quality and increasing product value.
Working Principle
The system begins by feeding products onto the top layer of sieves. As the vibratory conveying motion moves the product across the sieve surface, smaller grains fall through to the lower layers, while larger grains remain on the upper layers. With multiple sieve layers of different mesh sizes, products can be separated into 2, 3, or 4 fractions.
This method is effective both for pre-classification stages and for final quality control before packaging.
Application Areas
The Tanis Grading Sieve can be used across a wide range of products:
-
Wheat, barley, corn, rye
-
Chickpeas, lentils, beans
-
Sunflower, canola, sesame, flaxseed
-
Hybrid seeds
-
Granulated feed, pellets, and nuts
It can be positioned at the beginning of a plant for pre-separation or at the packaging line for final sizing.

Process Advantages
The Grading Sieve not only cleans products but also standardizes size for consistent quality. This is particularly important in seed certification, special product grouping, and packaging operations. For hybrid seeds, separating by size differences enhances germination success and agricultural productivity.
Grading also helps clearly define product groups for sale, reduces waste rates, and simplifies inventory management.
Maintenance & Cleaning Ease
The modular sieve carriers allow quick removal and replacement of sieves. Brush or ball cleaning systems keep sieve surfaces continuously clean, ensuring consistent performance. The opening cover design speeds up cleaning and maintenance tasks.
Integration & Control
Fully compatible with PLC and SCADA systems, the sieve supports automatic product flow management, error reporting, and start/stop control. This ensures continuous efficiency and monitoring across the production line.
