Tanis Indented Cylinder: Precision Length-Based Classification
Ensuring Consistent Product Quality Through Accurate Sorting
In industrial agriculture and food production, quality control begins with precise separation technologies. The Tanis Indented Cylinder classifies seeds and grains based on length, ensuring uniform quality, preventing variety mixing, and removing foreign matter. Its high-precision drum system allows only products meeting specifications to enter the production line.
Working Principle
The indented cylinder operates via a cylindrical drum with specially designed perforated surfaces.
Centrifugal Sorting: As the drum rotates, centrifugal force guides grains of a specific length into the indentations.
Collection: Sorted grains are carried through the drum and collected in separate hoppers.
Selective Separation: Short grains are separated from long ones, broken grains from intact, and weed fragments from genuine seeds, ensuring precise calibration.
Applications
The Indented Cylinder is widely used in:
Seed processing plants
Flour mills
Feed factories
Pulse cleaning lines
Main product groups: wheat, barley, chickpeas, lentils, corn, canola, sunflower, and beans. Drum hole sizes and arrangements can be customized per product requirements.
