Flaker Rolls

Flaker Rolls are precision-engineered rolls used in flaking mills to process oilseeds and grains by flattening them into thin flakes. These rolls are manufactured from high-quality alloy steel or chilled cast iron, with a specially hardened surface to ensure optimal wear resistance and consistent performance under high pressure.

Designed with a smooth surface and fine tolerance machining, Flaker Rolls maintain uniform thickness across the flaked product, which is crucial for maximizing oil extraction efficiency or preparing materials for further processing. They are dynamically balanced, corrosion-resistant, and built for long-term durability even in continuous operation environments.

  • High surface hardness for extended wear life
  • Superior surface finish ensures consistent flake thickness
  • Precision-balanced to reduce vibration and roll misalignment
  • Corrosion and heat-resistant materials
  • Custom sizes and surface finishes available based on application

Flaker Rolls are an essential component in various industrial processing systems where flaking or flattening of raw materials is required. Applications include:

  • Oilseed Processing Plants – Used for flaking soybeans, sunflower seeds, canola, and other oilseeds prior to solvent extraction or mechanical pressing
  • Cereal Processing Units – Flaking of oats, maize, and other grains for breakfast cereals and snack food production
  • Feed Mills – Preparing flaked feed materials to improve digestibility and pellet quality
  • Chemical and Plastic Industries – Flaking resins, polymers, and waxes into manageable thin layers for further processing
  • Pharmaceutical Industry – Used in certain dry granulation or pre-processing stages
  • Flaker Rolls play a crucial role in enhancing efficiency, maximizing yield, and ensuring uniform quality in production lines.
