Worn-out rollers cost plants in the food, feed and brewing industries thousands of dollars a month in lost yields, higher energy costs and lower quality product. rollDetect accurately measures wear and enables plant operators to plan the optimum maintenance plan.
When is the right time to change rollers? It’s a crucial question for any plant operator in the food, feed or brewing industry, and getting the answer right can make a significant difference to the plant’s productivity and profitability. Wear-and-tear on rollers reduces yield and increases operating costs. Traditional methods of assessing wear are time consuming or subjective. rollDetect provides accurate measurements for fluted and smooth rollers. With the full service, plant operators can calculate the cost savings that can be achieved by replacing rollers at exactly the right time.
Flour milling is an ancient yet complex craft. Our food value chains rely as much today as they have for millennia on the miller’s ability to turn grain into a product that is healthy, nutritious, attractive, and safe for the consumer.
The grinding rollers are at the heart of the operation. Spinning at high speed, they must work in perfect harmony, accurately separating the bran from the endosperm, passage after passage, producing ever finer flour. Achieving clean sizing is a fine art.
It is not only the flour mill that relies on this process. It also plays a key role in the brewing and feed industries. In grist mills like the Maltomat III MDBA and in feed mills like the multi-stage grinding DFZL, grinding rollers are equally central to operations.
However, the grinding process subjects rollers to severe stress, stress they cannot withstand indefinitely. Constant use wears down the finely cut contours of fluted rollers and decreases the required level of roughness on smooth rollers.
