Overview

SUMMARY

Bellaex Water-Cooled Grain Flaking Mill delivers uniform flakes around the clock. The FG Series combines a dedicated water-cooling system with internally cooled rolls and a rugged mechanical design to keep roll-surface temperatures within the target range. This ensures precise control of roll temperature and flake thickness, helping prevent product discoloration and off-odors.

Over the past 12 years, Bellaex has installed more than 100 water-cooled grain flaking mills worldwide—including Morocco, Dubai (UAE), Egypt, and other regions. Trusted by processors globally, the Bellaex Water-Cooled Grain Flaking Mill delivers the lowest operating cost in its class while maintaining high availability and consistent product quality.

Bellaex Water-Cooled Grain Flaking Mills

APPLICATIONS & MATERIALS

Applications: Bellaex FG Series water-cooled flaking mills can be used in livestock feed production (beef and dairy cattle, feedlots, poultry), oilseed-preparation lines for solvent extraction, integrated feed-mill lines, ranch HIO packages, pre-pelleting or TMR plants, breakfast-cereal and snack lines, brewing-adjunct preparation, and spice processing.

Materials: The FG Series can process heat-sensitive grains and oilseeds including corn/maize, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice; soybeans, rapeseed/canola, sunflower seed, cottonseed; pulses such as peas and beans; and spices such as pepper, fennel, cumin, anise, and chili.

Advantages

Predictable Quality — Enclosed Platform

Water-cooled roll internals keep the roll-surface temperature within a tight band, so your flaking mill can hit discharge targets while avoiding discoloration or off-odors in heat-sensitive grains, oilseeds, and spices. The enclosed platform protects the process and simplifies sanitation.

Core Advantages

  • Stable temperatures—internally cooled rolls and controlled flow hold the target surface temperature for uniform flakes.
  • Consistent thickness—precise roll-gap control maintains parallelism across the roll face, reducing fines.
  • Better product integrity—limits heat spots that cause darkening, flavor loss, or odors in sensitive materials.
  • Cleaner operation—an enclosed housing and high-grade sealing retain steam and dust, improving plant air quality.
  • Faster clean-downs—smooth, stainless product-contact surfaces shorten sanitation windows.
  • Repeatable results—clear temperature/flow readouts make it easy to verify the process at a glance.

    Less Downtime, Smoother Shifts

    Online thickness micro-adjust (where equipped) and dynamically balanced rolls help the flaking mill reduce vibration-related stops and keep production on spec through recipe or moisture changes.

    Core Advantages

    • • On-line gap tuning—adjust roll gap without stopping to keep throughput steady.
    • Low vibration—precision-machined, balanced rolls protect bearings and extend service life.
    • Fewer unplanned stops—stable thermal control prevents drift and rework.
    • Quick maintenance—large access doors and a service-friendly layout speed roll changes and inspections.
    • Simple troubleshooting—convenient ports for temperature and flow checks help pinpoint issues fast.
    • Lower cost per ton—less rework and fewer stoppages raise average line rates.

    FAQ

    Clear answers to common buying questions.

    How does the water-cooled design improve results?

    By keeping roll-surface temperature in a tight band, the water-cooled flaking mill prevents hot spots that cause discoloration and off-odors in heat-sensitive materials. Stable temperature also reduces fines, improves thickness repeatability, and helps lower cost per ton through less rework.

    What materials and applications is it suited for?

    The flaking mill is ideal for heat-sensitive grains (corn/maize, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice), oilseeds (soybean, canola/rapeseed, sunflower, cottonseed), pulses (peas, beans), and spices (pepper, fennel, cumin, anise, chili). Typical lines include feed manufacturing, oilseed preparation for extraction, cereal/snack processing, brewing adjuncts, and spice processing.

    Can I adjust flake thickness without stopping?

    Yes—select models feature patented on-line micro-adjust plus hydraulic gap control, allowing you to tune thickness on the running flaking mill. Balanced rolls and PLC-ready controls keep the gap parallel and steady through recipe and moisture changes, boosting uptime and consistency.

    How do I configure the machine for my plant?

    Choose a high-rigidity square-housing flaking mill for 24/7, high-pressure duty, or a compact round-housing model for standard workloads. Popular options include a 10,000-gauss metal guard, SEW/VFD feed roll, IE3/IE4 drive packages (Siemens option), centralized lubrication, bearing-temperature monitoring, 316SS upgrades, and a chilled-water control skid. Our team can help match roll size, corrugation, and automation level to your throughput and hygiene requirements.
