Flaker Machine — 50-500 TPD
Oilseed flaker machines roll conditioned seed into thin, uniform flakes, multiplying the surface area the solvent can reach and so the oil it can recover. Flake thickness is what sets extraction yield, which is why the rolls and their gap control matter here more than raw throughput.
Every Flaker Machine is built to your plant’s throughput at our Pithampur works near Indore and supplied to solvent extraction plants and oil mills across India. Capacity, drive rating and the interfaces to the machines either side of it are settled against your existing line before fabrication starts.

Specifications
Key Features
- Precision-ground hardened rolls ensure consistent flake thickness
- Minimal fines generation (<5%) prevents extraction column channeling
- Advanced roll cooling maintains optimal operating temperature
- Hydraulic gap control for precise, repeatable adjustments
Applications
- Soybean (soyabean) flaking for solvent extraction
- Sunflower and rapeseed processing
- Cottonseed and groundnut preparation
Supply and Support in India
- Delivery: By road from Pithampur to site, in sub-assemblies where the piece is too large to travel complete.
- Plant fit: General arrangement, foundation and utility drawings issued ahead of despatch, so structural and piping work can run in parallel.
- Commissioning: Erected and commissioned on site by our own engineers alongside your process team, and run in on your actual feedstock.
- Training: Operators trained on start-up, changeover and cleaning at handover.
- Service and spares: Rolls, screws, cages, wear parts and seals resupplied and reconditioned from Indore.
Frequently Asked Questions
What roll sizes and capacities are available?
Standard rolls of 600×1200 mm and 800×1500 mm (custom sizes available) covering lines from 50 to 500 TPD, producing flakes of 0.25-0.35 mm via hydraulic gap adjustment.
Why does flake thickness matter?
Flaking increases the seed’s surface area 10-15×, and the 0.25-0.35 mm window balances solvent penetration against flake integrity — thicker flakes extract poorly, thinner ones break into fines. Rolls are HRC 60-65 precision-ground steel to hold that tolerance.
Is the flaker machine customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Do you commission the Flaker Machine in our plant and train our operators?
Yes. Our engineers erect and commission it alongside your process team and run it in on your actual feedstock rather than on a test load, then train your operators on start-up, changeover and cleaning at handover.
