Seed Cracker — 50-500 TPD
Seed crackers break whole seeds into a few uniform pieces between counter-rotating corrugated rolls turning at different speeds — the preparation step that decides how well the flaker downstream can do its job.
Every Seed Cracker 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 for extended service life
- Hydraulic gap adjustment for precise particle size control
- 20-30% reduction in downstream flaking power
- Prevents flaker roll damage from oversized seeds
Applications
- Soybean and sunflower seed cracking
- Rapeseed and canola 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 capacity range do your seed crackers cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, using counter-rotating corrugated rolls with a 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 speed differential producing 4-6 pieces per seed.
Why does the speed differential between rolls matter?
The differential creates a shearing action that cracks the seed cleanly instead of crushing it — crushing produces fines that cause channeling problems later in the extraction column.
Is the seed cracker 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 Seed Cracker 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.
