Flaking Roll

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



A constant roll surface temperature is 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

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
