SUMMARY

The Bellaex Oilseed Flaking Mill is engineered for uniform, around-the-clock flaking. The F Series flaking mill comes standard for oilseed processing and can be configured for steam flaking and other industrial applications. It features large-diameter, centrifugally cast, high-Ni-Cr-Mo alloy rolls with a uniformly hardened surface layer, plus a high-strength magnetic separator—delivering high-quality, high-efficiency flaking with easy, intuitive operation.

Over the past 12 years, Bellaex has installed more than 300 oilseed flaking mills worldwide, including in Morocco, Dubai (UAE), Egypt, and other regions. Trusted by processors globally, the Bellaex oilseed flaking mill offers the lowest operating cost for oilseed pre-processing.

APPLICATIONS & MATERIALS

Advantages

SS304 for safety

The Bellaex oilseed flaking mill uses a fully enclosed, hygiene-focused structure with SS304 product-contact parts to ensure food safety, stable operation, and fast sanitation in demanding oilseed plants.(in premium models like F8210HS and F8150HS),

Core Advantages

  • Hygienic by design — SS304 contact surfaces, doors, and guards speed cleaning and protect product purity.
  • Enclosed, low-leakage body — High-grade sealing contains steam and dust for a cleaner plant.
  • Corrosion resistant — SS304 exterior on premium models (F8210HS/F8150HS) withstands aggressive washdowns.
  • Stable, long-life frame — Welded carbon-steel base with stress-relief annealing; up to 25-year design life.
  • Service friendly — Large access doors and removable scrapers shorten roll changes and inspections.

10,000-Gauss Metal Guard

Bellaex oilseed flaking mill equipped with an optional 10,000 Gauss high-intensity permanent magnet system, far superior to standard 3,000 Gauss magnets. This protects the rolls from metallic contaminants like screws or iron pieces that slip through initial cleaning, ensuring reliable performance in oilseed processing lines.

Core Advantages

  • Superior capture — 3× stronger than standard 3,000-gauss units for effective metal removal.
  • Prevents roll crashes — stops screws and iron from chipping rolls and bearings.
  • More uptime — Fewer emergency stops, longer intervals between rebuilds.
  • Lower cost per ton — Extends roll life and reduces rework/scrap.
  • Configurable — Standard magnets or 10,000-gauss upgrades available.

Precision Hydraulic Gap Control

The F Series flaking mill’s front-mounted hydraulic cylinders deliver precise roll tension control, with a dial scale adjustment locking device for real-time gap regulation during operation (patent-pending in advanced models). Includes intermittent energy-saving hydraulic pumping stations (PLC-controlled in F8150HS/F8150H) and accumulators for efficient, low-energy performance.

Core Advantages

  • On-the-fly tuning — Adjust thickness (typically 0.25–0.35 mm) without stopping.
  • Repeatable quality — Hydraulics hold parallelism for uniform flakes and low fines.
  • Energy efficient — Intermittent, accumulator-assisted pump logic (PLC on F8150HS/F8150H).
  • Flexible control — Manual/automatic modes with clear indicators for operators.
  • Faster changeovers — Quick recipe and spec changes maintain steady throughput.

Disc Spring Buffer Protection

The Bellaex oilseed flaking mill is equipped with a built-in Belleville (disc spring) buffer between the movable housing and the hydraulic cylinder, which absorbs impact loads from hard inclusions.

Core Advantages

  • Shock absorption — Protects rolls, bearings, and rods from sudden overloads.
  • Alignment stability — Maintains geometry in high-vibration, high-throughput duty.
  • Less downtime — Mitigates unplanned stops and costly refurbishments.

Premium Performance Package

The Bellaex oilseed flaking mill features high-efficiency motors (e.g., Innomotics and Beide brands, with up to 160 kW in the F8210HS model), dynamically balanced pulleys, centralized lubrication, and real-time bearing temperature monitoring (with SKF bearings in premium models). Variable-speed feed reducers (SEW or Guomao) ensure uniform material flow.

Core Advantages

  • High-efficiency motors — Innomotics Beide options up to 160 kW (F8210HS).
  • Smooth power transmission — Dynamically balanced pulleys with taper bushings.
  • Premium bearings & lube — SKF bearing options and centralized lubrication extend life.
  • Real-time monitoring — Bearing temperature sensors support predictive maintenance.
  • Controlled, even feeding — Variable-speed reducers (SEW or Guomao) stabilize the bed; soybean capacity typically 280–500 t/24 h.
  • High-RPM capability — Stable operation up to 320 rpm.

Roll Manufacturing Excellence

Centrifugally cast high Ni-Cr-Mo alloy rolls deliver long wear life and consistent surface quality for oilseed flaking.

Core Advantages

  • Deep alloy layer — 30–35 mm hardened layer, hardness HS 75 ± 3, dynamically balanced.
  • Leak control — End baffles minimize side leakage and material loss.
  • Long service between regrinds — Typical 35,000–65,000 t per refurbishment cycle.
  • Configurable surfaces — Sand-blasted or wire-brushed finishes for specific oilseeds.
  • Trusted options — IRLE ORT or Yenar rolls available to match your process.

FAQ

CAN I CHANGE FLAKE THICKNESS ONLINE?

Yes—select FO Series models support micro-adjust without stopping. Typical soybean targets are 0.25–0.35 mm; recipe setpoints can be saved.

WHAT OILSEEDS CAN THE SYSTEM HANDLE?

Soybeans, rapeseed/canola, sunflower seed, flaxseed (linseed), cottonseed, and sea-buckthorn seed. Confirm conditioning and target thickness per species.

WHAT CAPACITY CAN I EXPECT?

Models cover 1–10 TPH. For soybeans, typical throughput is 280–500 t/24 h depending on model, moisture, and conditioning.

HOW IS ROLL TEMPERATURE MANAGED?

Closed-loop water cooling keeps roll temperature stable to prevent smearing and to maintain uniform flakes.

HOW ARE ROLLS PROTECTED FROM METAL?

An inlet permanent magnet is standard; a 10,000-gauss high-intensity magnet is available to capture tramp iron before the nip.

IS THE DESIGN FOOD-GRADE AND EASY TO CLEAN?

Yes—fully enclosed housing with SS304 product-contact parts, low-leakage seals, and large service doors for fast washdowns.

WHAT ABOUT WEAR LIFE?

Centrifugally cast high Ni-Cr-Mo rolls (HS 75 ± 3) with a 30–35 mm alloy layer are designed for long intervals between regrinds (application-dependent).

CONTROLS & SAFETIES

PLC control supports recipes, interlocks, and optional bearing-temperature monitoring; centralized lubrication is available to extend bearing life. Guarded access doors, emergency stops, and vibration/overload alarms support safe 24/7 operation.
