High-performance cracking mill for oilseeds

Optimize your oilseed processing with a versatile mill designed to enhance efficiency in cracking, grinding, and dehulling. Achieve consistent particle size reduction and prolong roller life with adjustable settings, ensuring seamless integration into your production line.

Processes and Cracks Oilseeds and Grains

The Cracking Mill OLCB from Bühler Group is an essential tool for oilseed processors and food producers, renowned for its robust and efficient grinding capabilities. It employs high-grade corrugated rollers for effective size reduction, essential for producing soybean meal, vegetable oils, cornmeal, and flour. The mill supports continuous and manual operations, making it highly adaptable in diverse production lines.

Capable of processing a range of inputs like soybeans, sunflower seeds, and cereal grains, the OLCB achieves high throughput thanks to its precision-cut 400 mm rollers. The equipment’s design allows for flexible roller gap adjustments during operation, facilitating consistent product quality and minimizing downtime during material changes.

Constructed with stainless steel for enhanced durability and easy maintenance, the mill’s feeder device incorporates strong magnets to protect against ferrous contamination. Additionally, an automatic roller disengagement mechanism safeguards the machine from damage due to production stops or foreign objects.

The Cracking Mill OLCB integrates seamlessly into your processing workflow, providing reliable, long-lasting service with options for customization to fit specific operational needs.

Benefits
