Soybean mill OLCC

graindouble-rollerhigh-capacity

Overview
The OLCC cracking mill is a rolling mill engineered for cracking oilseeds and feed raw materials. It combines counter-rotating corrugated rollers, configurable differential speeds and a rapid roller-exchange concept to deliver consistent particle size, high throughput and simplified maintenance.

Key benefits

• High throughput: Large counter-rotating corrugated rollers and selectable speed differentials enable efficient size reduction across a range of oilseeds.
• Process integration: Configurable settings and an optional smart HMI support local and remote control, monitoring and integration into plant automation.
• Minimized downtime: Rapid roller-exchange design reduces roller-pair replacement to under two hours, lowering handling time and bound capital.

Highlight features

• Smart roller exchange technology saves time: Roller shells detach from the shaft so only the shell is removed while the transmission remains protected inside the machine, reducing labor and handling weight.
• Designed for easy use and simple maintenance: Removable maintenance doors, integrated sampling gates, electronic roller-gap adjustment, product bypass and strong permanent magnets simplify inspection and upkeep.
• Smart human-machine interface: Optional HMI provides full local and remote control of key functions, enabling automation, alerts and integration with plant control systems.

Services & support
Global service network with dedicated roller service stations for reconditioning, roll checks and just-in-time parts. Remote diagnostics and support are available where applicable via the HMI.

Applications

• Oilseeds (soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, etc.)
• Beans and other legumes

Process chain (selected steps)

• Raw material intake — reception and storage systems with monitoring.
• Handling — conveyors and elevators matched to plant layout.
• Drying — controlled drying to maintain seed quality.
• Storage — silos and bins for interim storage.
• Weighing — precision weighing and dosing systems.
• Cleaning — removal of stones, dust and broken material.
• Conditioning — pre-treatment to ensure consistent flake thickness.
• Cracking — OLCC provides controlled particle size and steady throughput.
• Hull separation — aspiration-based separation of hulls.
• Hull control — recovery of kernel particles from hull streams.
• Flaking — preparation for pressing or solvent extraction.
