PROCESS EFFICIENCY, VERSATILITY & QUALITY
METERING – HFS
▪ Controls volumetric capacity to system
▪ Roll gap controls HFS speed (RPM)
PRE-COMPRESSION & DEAERATION – VFS
▪ Minimize slip on rolls – reduce heat
▪ Bulk density of feed dictates VFS speed
▪ Double flight screw - uniform pressure in roll nip
▪ Vacuum deaeration available as options

COMPRESSION ROLLS
COMPRESSION ROLLS
▪ Roll surface establishes
friction
▪ Roll force – precise &
consistent
▪ Roll speed – dwell time
▪ Roll gap – capacity and quality

SIZE REDUCTION
KNIFE ROTOR
▪ Impact reduction in air
▪ Energy input is limited by the mass
of the compact & momentum
transfer from the rotor
▪ Hard compact &/or small granules
BAR ROTOR
▪ Shearing reduction
▪ Low speed rotor alongside large
screen surface area (typically grating
or conidur screens)
▪ Soft compact with reduced fines
