Tanis Vertical Peeler: Efficient Vertical Seed and Grain Peeling
A Vertical Solution for Gentle and Homogeneous Peeling
One of the most critical steps in seed and grain processing is peeling. The seed coat protects the product naturally, but it must be removed for processing and consumption. The challenge is to peel seeds quickly, uniformly, and without damaging the inner kernel.
The Tanis Vertical Peeler is a high-efficiency, low-loss machine designed specifically for this task. Its vertical drum structure processes products along the vertical axis, ensuring balanced peeling, minimal breakage, and low energy consumption.
Working Principle: Vertical Rasping + Surface Contact Control
-
Seeds are fed into the center of a vertically positioned drum.
-
The drum’s abrasive-coated interior maintains continuous contact with the seeds.
-
This gentle friction removes the outer shell without harming the inner kernel.
-
A rotor inside the drum ensures seeds descend at a controlled speed.
-
Drum rotation and seed drop speed can be adjusted to optimize peeling time for different products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Which seeds can be peeled?
Sunflower, canola, soybean, lentils, chickpeas, sesame, flax, and other oilseeds and legumes. -
Is there a risk of kernel damage?
No. The system uses surface friction instead of abrasive blows, protecting the inner kernel. -
Can seed speed be adjusted?
Yes. Rotor and drum speeds are independently adjustable for optimal contact time. -
Is cleaning easy?
Yes. Drum covers open fully for fast brushing and daily cleaning. -
Can it integrate with automation systems?
Yes. PLC-compatible models are available and can be integrated with SCADA. -
What is the capacity?
1–8 tons per hour, depending on seed type. -
Which sectors typically use it?
Seed processing, oilseed peeling, legume cleaning, and certified hybrid seed production.
