OverviewThe OLCB cracking mill performs cracking and size-reduction of oilseeds and cereal grains for feed and oil-processing lines. It is fitted with precision-cut 400 mm cast rollers and a robust feeder and product-guide construction for continuous plant operation.
Key benefits- Adjustable particle size — manual roller-gap adjustment possible during operation for on-the-fly calibration of product size.
- Operational protection — automatic roller disengagement on stops, maintenance or power loss to prevent blockages and equipment damage.
- Even wear and serviceability — even feeding across high-grade corrugated rollers extends roller life and maintains consistent particle distribution.
Highlight features- On-line adjustment and availability — roller gap adjustable during operation; rollers automatically disengage to enable quick restarts.
- Accessible design for maintenance — large access doors provide fast access to major components for cleaning and service between batches.
- Durable construction — steel housing reduces noise; feeder device and guide sheets in stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
- Product protection systems — strong feeder magnets remove ferrous contaminants; roller-pressing unit with pre-stressed spring protects rollers from non-ferrous objects.
- 400 mm precision rollers — large-diameter cast rollers available in different hardness grades to ensure consistent product quality and controlled wear.
Application possibilities- Cracking of oilseeds: soybeans, sunflower seed, rapeseed
- Coarse grinding and size reduction of corn and cereal grains
- Integration into oilseed processing lines upstream of hull separation and flaking
Process chain roleThe cracking mill provides the cracking/size-reduction step to prepare kernels for downstream pressing or extraction, delivering consistent particle-size distribution and reliable throughput control.
