Flaking Roll

Baker Perkins’ Flaking Roll delivers consistent high quality flakes at outputs up to 1,500 kg/hour and with a low lifetime cost of ownership. Process conditions are accurately controlled for optimum flaking performance, while increased hygiene levels and easy access to all machine parts contribute to reduced production downtime.

High Quality Flakes

The Baker Perkins Flaking Roll achieves the highest flake quality by accurately
controlling the main process variables

• Roll surface temperature is accurately maintained to ensure optimum flake consistency
• Precise gap control constantly maintains a pre-set roll position for desired flake thickness, regardless of the force required
• Regulated infeed of cooked grains ensures that each is flaked
  individually

Superior Productivity

• Pre-heating of rolls minimises start-up times
• Pneumatically controlled scraper pressure keeps roll surface clean, which minimises waste and cleaning time
• Downtime reduced by easy access for cleaning and maintenance

Low Cost of Ownership

• Flaking rolls typically run for 10,000 hours before regrinding and can be reground up to 10 times*
• Removable discharge conveyor, mounted on slide rails, allows easy access to the delivery chute and underside of unit cleaning and maintenance
• No drives or other major components mounted between frames increases life and facilitates maintenance
• Under normal operating conditions

Precise Gap Control

• Dynamic closed loop control system continuously maintains pre-set
  roll position regardless of the force required
• Simple adjustment achieved via operator interface on control panel
• PLC automatically avoids rolls touching during breaks in product feed
• Rigid frame construction maintains a clamping force of up to
  100 tonnes with no loss of gap control

Accurate roll surface temperature control

• Contra flow water cooling system distributes cooling evenly over roll
  surface
• Water chambers close to surface for maximum cooling effect
• Closed loop system controls water temperature to within a 0.2°C
  tolerance band
• Water temperature can be set as required by operator
• Cooling module uses distilled or demineralised water for longer
  operating life

Range

• Standard roll widths of 450, 780 and 1120 mm are available

Options

• Geared motor unit with toothed belt drive (torque arm gearbox drive offered as standard)
• Differential roll speeds
• Oscillating scraper drives
• Grooved roll feeder or vibratory feeder
• Hydraulic or mechanical gap control
• Bi-directional discharge conveyor
• Vacuum take-off system mounted directly beneath the rolls
• Transverse conveyor
