Overview

Who uses it, what it does, and why it pays.

Summary

Bellaex cracking mill lineup ensures efficient, around-the-clock cracking for corn, soybeans, canola, barley, and oats (and related oilseeds/grains). The C-Series cracking mill is equipped with large-diameter, centrifugally cast, chill-hardened Ni-Cr-Mo alloy rolls.

Delivering one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry, Bellaex Cracking Mills are designed for continuous operation, producing uniform, adjustable cracks that improve downstream flaking, cooking, expanding, and extraction efficiency while helping preserve protein quality. Over the past 12 years, more than 300 units have been installed, with 30+ large-scale systems entering service each year across Morocco, Dubai, Europe, and beyond—supporting both new crusher installations and line upgrades.

Bellaex cracking mill (crushing mill)—twin-roll design with adjustable gap for 1/4–1/8 in particle size, heavy-duty housing and front service doors.

Applications & Materials

Applications: Bellaex C-Series cracking mills are used in oilseed preparation lines (pre-pressing/solvent-extraction), integrated feed-mill lines, and cereal/pulse processing plants. Typical uses include pre-cracking before flaking, cooking, extrusion/expanding, or pelleting to boost throughput and extraction efficiency.

Materials: Bellaex cracking mills can process corn, soybeans, canola (rapeseed), oats, barley, black beans, and green peas, as well as similar oilseeds and pulses.

FAQ

1. What capacity range do Bellaex cracking mills cover?

Models span 30–1,500 T/24H—from the C2560 (≈30–60 T/D soybeans) to the C4210S (≈1,300–1,500 T/D). Roll sizes run up to 400×2100 mm with single high-power drives for large throughput.

2. How is crush size controlled and kept uniform?

A quick, repeatable gap setting plus differential fast/slow roll speeds deliver a target of 1/4–1/8 in. (≈6.3–3.2 mm) with low fines—improving downstream flaking, cooking, expanding, and extraction.

3. Which materials can the mill process?

Corn, soybeans, canola/rapeseed, oats, barley, black beans, and green peas, along with similar oilseeds and pulses. Adjust the gap and differential to match seed type and moisture.

4. What design features support reliability and food-safety?

A fully enclosed housing with round bearing housings, roll-end baffles, and motor guards limits dust and leakage. Ni-Cr-Mo centrifugally cast rolls (uniform 20–25 mm chill, HS69 ±3) are dynamically balanced for 24/7 duty and long service life.

5. What options and integrations are available?

Choices include a 10,000-gauss tramp-metal magnet, IE3/IE4 motors, premium bearings (e.g., SKF), centralized lubrication, bearing-temperature monitoring, VFD for the feeding reducer, SS304 contact-parts upgrade, and HMI/PLC recipe control—fit for new lines or crusher upgrades.
