Hydraulic flaking machine

Oilseeds hydraulic flaking machine is vital pretreatment equipment in oil mill plants. It can turn granular oil materials into flakes by rolling the pressure of the rollers. The flaking process can help oil extraction more smoothly from oil materials.

Functions of hydraulic flaking machine

Flaking can destroy the cellular structure of oilseed, and create favorable conditions for the cooking process.

In the cooking process, oilseed flakes are easier to absorb water and heat, which benefits the thermal damage and protein denaturation of oilseed cells, so that oil can be successfully separated in the pressing or solvent extraction process.

Greatly increases the contact surface area of oil materials, and more oil can be extracted, which increases the oil yield.

Applications of hydraulic flaking machine

It is applicable to press kinds of oil-bearing material, such as peanut, rapeseed, sunflower seed, castor bean, maize germ, tea seed, rice bran, sesame, hemp seed, etc. Into flakes in pretreatment workshop.

Principle of oilseeds flaking mill

The oilseeds flaking mill makes use of rolling pressure generated by two rollers to press oil seed from granularity into flake.

Because of the little gap between the rollers of the flaking machine, oil materials need preprocessing before they feed into the flaking machine.

For example, large-size oil materials like peanuts and soybean should be ground by crushing machine, while materials with low oil content, low water content, and hard tissue like rape seeds and cotton seeds need softening first.
