In animal feed production, the final crumbling stage defines your product's market value. Bellaex specializes in manufacturing durable Crumbler Rollers designed to deliver uniform particle size distribution while significantly reducing waste fines. Unlike standard rolls that wear down quickly against hard corn or soybean meal, our Chilled Iron Rolls feature a deep, wear-resistant alloy layer that maintains its sharp corrugation profile for millions of tons. Whether you need replacement rolls for a specific Roller Mill (e.g., standard 250x1500mm models) or custom-fluted rolls for specialized livestock feed, our engineering team ensures a perfect fit for your existing machinery.

Product Overview
Precision Engineered Mill Rollers for the Grain Industry
We engineer precision-corrugated Chilled Iron Rolls compatible with CPM, Andritz, and Buhler crumbleers.
If you are struggling with high return rates and inconsistent granule sizes, Bellaex offers the precise upgrade your feed mill needs. We understand that in pelletizing, excess fines mean lost profit. That is why we moved beyond standard steel options to engineer a heavy-duty Crumbler Roller specifically for processing abrasive corn, soy, and mineral additives. By utilizing centrifugally cast Chilled Iron (HS 70–75), we provide a wear-resistant "white iron" layer that holds its edge significantly longer than competitors. Paired with our custom CNC-machined corrugation profiles (such as LePage cuts), our rolls deliver a clean, sharp shearing action—slicing pellets rather than crushing them—to ensure you get the uniform Feed Mill Rolls performance required for optimal Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR).

Q: What corrugation profiles do you offer for Crumbler Rollers?
A: We offer a full range of fluting profiles to match your specific feed type. This includes standard horizontal and spiral (helical) flutes, as well as specialized LePage corrugation (one roll with longitudinal flutes, the other with circumferential flutes). The LePage style is particularly effective for poultry feed as it provides a clean cut that significantly minimizes fines and improves pellet uniformity.
Q: How does Chilled Iron compare to standard Steel Rolls for feed crumbling?
A: Standard carbon steel rolls are cheaper but wear out quickly against abrasive ingredients like corn and limestone. Bellaex uses Chilled Cast Iron with a surface hardness of HS 70–75. This high hardness resists the "scouring" effect of feed minerals, maintaining the sharp edges of the corrugation much longer than steel, which directly results in consistent crumbling efficiency over time.
Q: Can your rolls be re-corrugated (re-ground)?
A: Yes. Our rolls feature a deep "chill" layer (effective working depth of 10–25mm depending on diameter). This allows for multiple re-corrugating cycles. We recommend monitoring your fines percentage; when it starts to rise, it is time to take the rolls out for re-grinding to restore their cutting edge.
Q: Do you manufacture replacement rolls for specific crumbler brands?
A: Absolutely. We produce aftermarket replacement rolls compatible with major feed machinery brands such as CPM, Andritz, Buhler, and Muyang. We strictly follow OEM dimensional tolerances for bearing seats and shaft ends to ensure a perfect fit without any modification to your housing.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a set of Crumbler Rollers?
A: For common sizes (e.g., Φ250×1500mm), we often hold semi-finished castings in stock, allowing for a lead time of 20–30 days for machining and fluting. For custom sizes or special alloy requests, production typically takes 35–45 days.
Material & Manufacturing
At Bellaex, we engineer our rolls to survive the harshest feed milling environments. Here is how we ensure longevity:
Centrifugally Cast "White Iron" Layer We manufacture our Crumbler Rollers using Centrifugal Composite Casting. This high-speed process drives pure alloy materials to the periphery, creating a dense, defect-free "White Iron" working layer (Chilled Cast Iron). This outer shell provides extreme hardness (HS 70–75) to resist the scouring action of corn and limestone, while the softer grey iron core absorbs the shock loads typical in pellet crumbling.
Precision CNC Corrugation The performance of a Crumbler Roller lies in its teeth. We utilize advanced CNC fluting machines to cut precise corrugation profiles—including standard horizontal, spiral, and the popular LePage cuts. Unlike traditional grinding, our CNC cutting ensures every flute has the exact angle and depth required for a clean "shearing" effect, which is critical for minimizing fines.
Specialized Alloy Matrix (LTCrMoNi) To combat the abrasive nature of mineral additives, we dope our iron with Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum. This LTCrMoNi alloy stabilizes the carbide structure within the iron, ensuring that the sharp edges of the corrugation do not chip or "round off" prematurely, maintaining peak crumbling efficiency for longer periods.
Rigorous Hardness Depth Control We know that feed mills re-grind their rolls to save costs. That is why we strictly control the chill depth (hardness layer) to ensure it is thick enough (typically 10–25mm) to support multiple re-corrugating cycles without hitting the soft core.

Key Features
Why Feed Mills Upgrade to Bellaex Crumbler Rollers
Standard rolls often crush pellets into dust, forcing you to recycle fines back through the pellet mill—wasting energy and reducing capacity. Bellaex utilizes CNC-machined LePage corrugation (or custom spiral cuts) to create a pure shearing action. This precise cutting geometry slices pellets cleanly rather than pulverizing them. The Benefit: Drastically reduces the percentage of "fines," lowering your return-loop load and directly improving the Pellet Durability Index (PDI) of your final product.
Processing corn, soybean meal, and mineral premixes is incredibly abrasive. Our Crumbler Rollers feature a centrifugally cast "White Iron" working layer (HS 70–75). This metallurgical structure is significantly harder than standard carbon steel rolls, resisting the "scouring" effect of grain and additives. The Benefit: Extended service life between roll changes. You get consistent granule sizing for months longer, reducing maintenance downtime and labor costs.
We engineer replacement rolls to fit the exact housing dimensions of major international feed machinery. Whether you run a CPM, Andritz, Buhler, or Muyang crumbler, Bellaex guarantees precision tolerance on shaft ends and bearing seats. The Benefit: A risk-free, "plug-and-play" replacement solution that matches OEM performance at a more competitive price point.
