It is significantly affecting the milling defect, respectively the potential oil yield. State‐of‐the‐art roller maintenance tools use the grinding principle. While grinding itself smoothens the surface, it does NOT remove roughness. On the other hand, turning can remove the roughness and provide surface smoothness necessary for the efficient processing of the oilseeds. Therefore turning is a better maintenance procedure for flake roll maintenance. After eight years of development, the WASUFI, as a unique flake roller maintenance tool for in‐site turning, is commercially available and already in more than 8 oilmills operations.
Roll maintenance and refurbishment within the flaking mill.
No need to dismantle the rolls out of the mill.
Highest accuracy and tolerances (Cylindricity, TIR, Surface finish) reached on rolls due to revolutionary newest technology.
Big increase in quality of uniform flake thickness and tight distribution variation.
Significantly reduced maintenance process time. Typically, under 8 hours on 800mm diameter rolls.
Robust guide beam for turning and grinding support with very low vibration.
Extremely short downtime of the flaking mill.
High increase in profit with WASUFI and quick ROI!
