Tanis SCREWS: Efficient Solution for Horizontal & Inclined Conveying
Reliable Material Transfer for Production Lines
In agriculture, food, and industrial production, safe and controlled product conveying directly impacts efficiency and quality. For horizontal or lightly inclined lines, solutions providing high conveying efficiency, low energy consumption, and minimal product loss are preferred.
Tanis Screws are designed for granular and bulk products, enabling accurate feeding, dosing, and transfer. Their modular design allows easy integration into different lines, ensuring durability and flexibility.
Strategic Role of Screw Conveyors in Production
-
Flow Control: Delivers consistent, loss-free, rhythmic transport.
-
Product Safety: Minimizes damage to fragile seeds and sensitive materials.
-
System Continuity: Eliminates clogging, backflow, and jamming risks.
-
Flexible Use: Supports horizontal, inclined, and limited vertical transport.
Working Principle: Helical Screw Transfer
-
Feeding: Product enters the screw tunnel from the hopper.
-
Forward Conveying: Motor-driven screw rotates, moving products along the helical flights.
-
Discharge: Material exits at the designated point to the next process stage.
Available in U-type (open) or tube-type (enclosed) models for various applications.

FAQ
-
Which products can it handle?
Wheat, corn, lentils, chickpeas, flour, pellets, feed, granular fertilizers, plastic granules, and similar bulk products. -
Difference between horizontal and vertical use?
Horizontal: higher capacity; Inclined: capacity decreases with slope. Motor power is increased for vertical applications. -
Does product jamming occur?
Minimal risk if diameter, speed, and slope are selected correctly. Hinged covers allow quick clearing of blockages. -
How to clean?
Hinged cleaning covers and modular flanges enable easy cleaning. Stainless steel versions are suitable for washing. -
Can it work with automation?
Yes. PLC-controlled speed, start-stop, and sensor-assisted feeding are applicable.
Conclusion
Tanis Screws provide high efficiency, low energy consumption, and product safety for horizontal and inclined conveying needs. Modular design ensures compatibility with any production line, precise handling preserves product integrity, and flexible configuration suits diverse applications.
