Malt Mill Rolls (also known as Crushing Rolls) are the most important machinery part of the brewing and grain processing industry. Good quality mill rolls are the key to success for any brewery, directly determining grist quality and lautering efficiency. Therefore, our precision-engineered Malt Mill Roll can help you in achieving your success goals. Depending on the requirements of the customers & application (such as dry milling or our patented wet milling), we can offer different options of materials for the Malt Mill Roll. Also, we offer all sizes of Roller Mill Rolls or Malt Mill Rolls compatible with major global machine brands for various applications.

Product Overview
Precision Engineered Mill Rollers for the Grain Industry
For professional breweries and malt houses, achieving the perfect "grist spectrum"—crushing the endosperm completely while preserving husk integrity for filtration—is the foundation of brewhouse efficiency.
Bellaex addresses this challenge with our heavy-duty Malt Mill Rolls, manufactured from centrifugally cast Chilled Cast Iron to achieve a uniform surface hardness of HS 70–75. This superior metallurgical structure ensures that the fluting profile remains sharp even under high-throughput operations, resisting abrasive wear significantly longer than standard iron rolls.
Beyond standard dry milling, Bellaex stands out with our National Patent for wet Crushing Rolls, featuring specialized corrosion-resistant alloys engineered to withstand acidic steep water and prevent clogging, solving the most common maintenance headaches in modern wet milling systems.

Q: Can your rolls replace the original parts in imported roller mills?
A: Yes. Our Malt Mill Rolls are manufactured to precise OEM tolerances. We can customize the diameter, barrel length, and shaft ends to perfectly fit major international machines (such as Buhler, Kunzel, or other standard 4-roll/6-roll mills). You get the same performance fit as the original equipment but at a more competitive cost.
Q: What is the difference between your Dry and Wet Crushing Rolls?
A: Standard rolls are designed for dry malt. However, for wet milling systems, we use our patented technology (Patent No. ZL200420039645.8). These Wet Crushing Rolls feature a specialized corrosion-resistant alloy to withstand acidic steep water and a unique geometric profile to prevent the wet mash from clogging the flutes.
Q: Can these Chilled Cast Iron rolls be re-fluted?
A: Absolutely. Our rolls are made of Chilled Cast Iron with a uniform high-hardness working layer (typically 10–30mm deep). This deep alloy layer allows for multiple re-fluting (re-corrugating) cycles throughout the roll's service life, significantly reducing your long-term replacement costs.
Q: How do I choose the right fluting profile for my brewery?
A: The optimal fluting depends on your target grist spectrum. We can machine various profiles, including different flutes per inch/cm, spiral angles, and flute land/depth ratios. If you are unsure, our engineers can recommend a profile based on whether you need a coarse crush for a lauter tun or a finer crush for a mash filter.
Q: What is the lead time for custom Crushing Rolls?
A: For standard sizes of Malt Mill Rolls, we may have semi-finished castings in stock. For fully custom dimensions, the typical production cycle (casting, heat treatment, precision machining, and dynamic balancing) is approximately 35–45 days.
Material & Manufacturing
At Bellaex, we control every variable to ensure premium quality:
Centrifugal Composite Casting Unlike static casting, our Malt Mill Rolls are manufactured using advanced centrifugal casting technology. This process creates a dense, defect-free outer working layer of Chilled Cast Iron with a softer, high-strength core. This dual-structure ensures the roll has the extreme surface hardness needed for crushing while maintaining the toughness to resist shaft breakage.
Premium Alloy Composition (LTCrMoNi) We utilize a specialized Low Alloy Chilled Cast Iron (LTCrMoNi) matrix. By strictly controlling the Carbon, Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum content, we achieve a uniform surface hardness of HS 70–75. This specific microstructure provides exceptional wear resistance, ensuring your Crushing Rolls maintain their fluting (corrugation) profile significantly longer than standard grey iron rolls.
Precision Fluting & Dynamic Balancing For the brewing industry, geometry is everything. We employ CNC fluting machines to cut precise "Sharp-to-Sharp" or "Sharp-to-Dull" profiles. Furthermore, every roll undergoes G2.5 Dynamic Balancing to ensure vibration-free operation at high rotational speeds, protecting your mill's bearings and ensuring a quiet brewhouse environment.
Patented Wet Milling Technology For our Wet Crushing Rolls, we apply our patented alloy formula (Patent No. ZL200420039645.8) which enhances corrosion resistance against acidic steep water, preventing surface pitting and ensuring long-term hygiene and performance.

Key Features
Why Leading Breweries Choose Bellaex Malt Mill Rolls
Bellaex utilizes advanced centrifugal casting to produce Chilled Cast Iron Rolls with a uniform hardness of HS 70–75. Unlike static cast rolls that may have soft spots, our alloy structure (LTCrMoNi) guarantees consistent wear resistance across the entire barrel length.
The Benefit: Significantly extends the interval between re-fluting maintenance, reducing your brewery's downtime and lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) per ton of malt processed.
For breweries using wet crushing systems, standard rolls often face corrosion and clogging issues. Bellaex applies our National Patent (ZL200420039645.8) technology to manufacture specialized corrosion-resistant Crushing Rolls. These rolls feature a unique anti-clogging geometric profile designed specifically for steeped malt.
