Tanis Z Type Elevator: Precise and Compact Product Transportation Solution

Efficient Horizontal–Vertical–Horizontal Transportation

In agriculture, seed processing, and granular product lines, products often need both horizontal and vertical transport. Traditional conveyors may lack the flexibility for such complex movements.

The Tanis Z Type Elevator combines horizontal–vertical–horizontal transport in a single system, offering compact installation, gentle handling, and high-precision conveying.


Working Principle

  • Uses a chain or belt bucket mechanism arranged in a Z-shaped path.

  • Product enters the horizontal section, moves vertically, and exits at the horizontal output.

  • Operates at low speed, minimizing crushing or dusting of fragile products.

  • Food-grade bucket materials and a leak-proof body maintain high hygiene standards.


Application Areas

  • Precise product transportation in seed processing facilities

  • Transfer between selectors, color sorters, and packaging systems

  • Routing in hybrid and certified seed lines

  • Inter-floor transport in legumes and granular food products

  • Compact transportation solution for facilities with limited space


Outstanding Features

  • Gentle Transportation: Preserves product integrity with bucket design

  • Space-Saving: Compact horizontal–vertical–horizontal layout

  • Modular Structure: Adjustable height and horizontal length

  • High Hygiene: Food-grade plastic or metal bucket options

  • Low Noise: Quiet motor and chain operation

  • Easy Maintenance: Accessible covers and observation windows


Process Advantages

  • Z type design preserves product quality through low-speed, gentle conveying.

  • PLC-supported models can integrate fully into automated lines for continuous, controlled flow.
