Oilseed cracking mill for efficient processing
Designed for high-capacity oilseed processing, this cracking mill enhances yield efficiencies by precisely crushing seeds into optimal sizes, ensuring seamless integration upstream of flaking processes.

Cracks and Reduces Oilseed and Feedstock
The 1400/1600/2000 Series Cracking Mill from Roskamp is engineered to meet the robust demands of oilseed and animal feed industries. This equipment is distinguished by its load-centering bearing supports and replaceable bearing slides, ensuring precise, sustained cracking performance. It features chilled cast iron rolls for consistent, high-capacity size reduction, adaptable with varied roll corrugations and speed differentials for optimized cracking of products like soybean and canola oilseeds, as well as animal feedstocks.
Capable of processing various materials such as biomass pellets and aquaculture feeds, this mill suits operations requiring continuous, adjustable throughput. The design includes a one-point roll adjustment maintaining parallel alignment throughout, enhancing both efficiency and product quality. Integration into existing systems is seamless with options like independent roll feeders and configurable drive configurations, promoting operational flexibility.
Emphasizing durability, the cracking mill uses industrial-duty adjustable motor platforms, available in left or right-side drive options. Energy consumption is reduced through efficient motor control and aerodynamic features like an axial fan for cooling drive components. Designed with maintenance in mind, it offers straightforward access to components, ensuring minimal downtime and maximized productivity.
