Industrial grain flaking solution

Enhance grain processing efficiency with precision-engineered flaking solutions, designed to optimize texture and quality across various production lines.

Processes and Flakes Grains and Oilseeds

The FX Series, engineered by Roskamp under CPM, features industrial-grade flaking mills designed to optimize grain and oilseed processing. Equipped with indefinite chill cast rolls, these mills provide consistent flake quality necessary for producing soybean meal, cornflakes, and pet kibble. With self-aligning double-row spherical roller bearings and pneumatically operated feed gates, they ensure reliable performance and ease of maintenance. Capable of continuous, high-speed operation, the FX Series can handle substantial throughput, including configurations that support industrial applications like hemp flaking and DDGS processing. Fully customizable, these mills offer options like chilled iron rolls and hydraulic roll closures to suit specific production needs. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, thanks to features like a single-motor V-belt drive and PLC compatibility, ensuring streamlined operations while minimizing energy consumption.

Benefits
