Corn Flaking Machine
- Capacity: 30-200TPH
- Production: Corn Flakes
The corn flaking machine operates by feeding steamed and conditioned corn kernels through two large, precision-ground rollers.
The Corn Flaking Machine is a core component in grain processing industry and ruminant feed production, designed for rolling steamed corn kernels into thin, uniform flakes. This flaker ensures improved digestibility, palatability, and nutritional availability for cattle and sheep. Our maize flaking equipment features a robust dual-roll structure, precise flake thickness control, and compatibility with large-scale production lines.
Ideal for use in steam flaking lines for cattle, dairy cow, and sheep feed mills, the VOSON flaking machines are engineered for efficiency, durability, and consistent output quality.
Working Principle of the Steam Corn Flaking Machine
The corn flaking machine operates by feeding steamed and conditioned corn kernels through two large, precision-ground rollers. The grain is compressed between the rolls to form uniform flakes. The use of steam conditioning before flaking softens the kernel, reduces resistance, and allows better flake formation. This process enhances starch gelatinization, increasing feed digestibility in ruminants.
The VOSON Series Corn Flaking Machine is commonly used in the following process flow:
- Corn Cleaning & Weighing
- Steam Conditioning (for 30–60 minutes)
- Corn Flaking via Flaker Rollers
- Flake Cooling & Drying
- Automatic Packing
