P ELEVATOR

Working principle Seed is transferred from the inlet hopper to the buckets. The buckets are tilted slightly and the seed is distributed into the discharge hopper. The seed flows from this hopper through a pipe to your allocated point. The buckets continue in this cycle, providing a continuous, smooth seed flow with almost zero damage.

Tanis P Type Elevator: Industrial Solution for Precise and Vertical Conveying

New Standard in Agricultural Technologies

In modern agricultural and seed processing facilities, transporting products without damaging their physical integrity is critically important. Fragile and high-value seeds require controlled conveying to prevent deformation, waste, dust formation, and quality loss.

The Tanis P Type Elevator is a low-speed, high-precision conveying system designed to handle products gently, ensuring maximum quality and minimal loss.


System Architecture and Working Principle

  • Named for its characteristic “P” shape conveying route, the system moves products horizontally, then vertically, and again horizontally.

  • Bucket conveying mechanism: Buckets are made from food-grade polymer or hard plastic and fixed to a chain or belt system.

  • Products are gently received at the lower entry point, transported vertically at low speed, and discharged horizontally.

  • The system prevents friction, impacts, and vibrations, preserving product structure and minimizing dust and waste.


Customer-Oriented Engineering Design

The Tanis P Type Elevator is developed with the COE (Customer-Oriented Engineering) principle, prioritizing:

  • Gentle Conveying: Low-speed, frictionless transport for fragile products.

  • Hygienic Structure: Stainless steel or galvanized materials in contact areas.

  • Silent Operation: Balanced chain/belt and motor system ensure quiet performance.

  • Modularity: Conveying height and directions can be customized.

  • Easy Cleaning: Removable panels and flat surfaces for quick maintenance.

  • Automation Compatibility: Full integration with PLC and SCADA systems for remote control and monitoring.


Application Areas

  • Seed Processing Lines: Ideal for fragile, high-value, and hybrid seeds.

  • Inter-Machine Transfer: Smooth transition between machines like selectors, graders, and gravity separators.

  • Pre-Packaging Elevation: Lifting products to packaging machines.

  • Filling Lines: Slow, balanced transport for precise filling systems.

  • Granular Product Conveying: Also suitable for food and chemical sectors.


Product Protection Features

The P Type Elevator minimizes risks during conveying:

  • Fall Trauma: Controlled product intake prevents dropping.

  • Friction Wear: No contact with internal surfaces.

  • Dusting: Reduced vibration and impact minimize dust formation.

  • Structural Deterioration: Preserves internal integrity of hybrid seeds.


Contribution to Production Efficiency

  • Uninterrupted Flow: Smooth direction changes in compact spaces.

  • Product Quality Continuity: Preserves final product quality.

  • Energy Efficiency: Optimized low-speed motor system.

  • Reduced Maintenance Time: Easy access panels minimize downtime.


Integration with Automation Systems

  • Speed Control: Automatic adjustment based on product density.

  • Level Sensors: Bucket fullness tracking.

  • Start/Stop Automation: Synchronized in-line operations.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which products is it used for?
Lentils, chickpeas, corn, sunflower, fragile grains, and hybrid seeds.

Does the product get damaged during conveying?
No. Low-speed, non-contact conveying ensures product integrity.

Difference between P Type and Z Type Elevator?
P Type is ideal for shorter distances and sensitive products, while Z Type suits longer, high-flow, and complex lines.

Is cleaning easy?
Yes. Removable panels, easy bucket removal, and flat internal surfaces speed up cleaning.

Can it be integrated into automation systems?
Yes. Fully compatible with PLC and SCADA systems.
