Modular design
The machine is built from four modules: vertical steam chest, horizontal steam cooking unit, flaking module and base. They go together like building blocks, so the line can be upgraded later or moved to another farm.
- All bolts and screws in SS304 stainless steel, to Chinese national standards
- Installed and producing within 5 days of delivery
Steam chest cross-section
Grain enters at the top and moves slowly down the chest; four steam nozzles inject steam from different sides for 50–60 minutes, so it cooks evenly.
- SS304 stainless steel: 4 mm side walls, 3 mm front and back walls
- Patented design (website)
Cooking unit cross-section
The section shows the screw running the full length. It keeps the grain hot while pushing it evenly towards the flaker; its speed is set by a frequency inverter.
- Gear reducer with a 5-year extended warranty: free repair or replacement within five years (website)
- SKF bearings on the conveyor with a 3-year extended warranty (website)
- Pre-heated to about 140–150 °C by pre-heater 2 at start-up
Flaking module cross-section
The cooked grain drops from the feed hopper between the pair of rolls, is pressed into flakes and leaves through the discharge chute below.
- Nickel-chromium-molybdenum composite rolls with an even 20–25 mm hard layer and a patented groove pattern (website; 1 t/h model rolls 500 mm × 450 mm)
- The base is designed for easy roll changes
- The two motors start one after the other; the hydraulics close the rolls and the pressure sets the thickness
Electrics and controls
Each machine has its own start and stop on the control cabinet, and feeding runs in manual or automatic. A buzzer on the cabinet door signals a motor fault, and the emergency stop cuts the control circuit.
- Siemens (or SUNYE) frequency inverters; Schneider (or CHINT) electrical components (website)
- The power cabinet door carries the voltmeter, the main ammeter and the speed controls for the two screws (manual)
