Corn Flakes / Flakes Roaster

Our Corn Flakes / Flakes Roaster is designed to achieve the highest quality and the highest efficiency and reliability in your food processing operation. Find below the main technical features.

The roaster uses the hot air circulation roasting technology. All the flakes are heated evenly. Because flakes can be produced continuously, a continuous roasting system differs from a batch roaster as the qualities remain constant.

Key advantages include:

• Roasted each flake separately
• Constant color and crisp texture
• Less risk of burning or over-drying
• High throughput can enable mass production

Uniformly roasting and steaming corn flakes varieties helps to improve the acceptance of the brand.

The temperature at which the corn flakes are roasted is important, as too high a temperature results in a burnt flavor and texture, and too low a temperature in soggy, undercooked flakes. These machines are equipped with technical means to ensure accurate regulation of roasting conditions (temperature, time).

Benefits include:

• Adjustable temperatures for different kinds of flakes
• Stable production temperature is maintained
• More consistent product offerings
• Better flavor and crunch retention

This versatile machine is suitable for roasting corn flakes, wheat flakes, rice flakes, and blended cereal flakes.

Hygiene and food safety are simply paramount in cereal processing and our Corn Flakes Roaster is manufactured from the best quality food grade stainless steel.

Advantages of this construction include:

• Easy cleaning and maintenance
• Corrosion and contamination resistant
• Long machine life with continuous operation
• Safe conversion for edible products

All food-contact surfaces are designed to limit product residue and ease production under sanitary conditions.

Key energy benefits:

• Optimized hot air flow design
• Reduced heat loss through insulation
• Lower fuel or power consumption
• Low cost operating life

This makes the machine suitable for high-volume continuous cereal processing lines.

For lower labor requirements and higher efficiency, the Corn Flakes Roaster may be connected to a semi-automatic or fully automatic control system.

Automation benefits include:

• Consistent product quality
• Reduced labor dependency
• Easy to monitor and adjust
• Improved overall efficiency

Its user-friendly control panel allows operators to control roasting parameters with minimal training.

Pre-dried or semi-finished corn flakes are sent into the roaster through a metered feeding device, the rate of which can be manually adjusted according to production rates and the duration of the roasting process.

Inside the roasting chamber, the flakes are exposed to hot air which is used to drive out moisture and roast the flakes. The roasting chamber is constantly rotated to ensure even heating and avoid hotspots.

It improves their texture, making them crispier, and lowers their moisture content to a suitable level to avoid spoilage, extending the flakes' shelf-life.

At the end of the roasting time, the flakes come out roasted through the outlet system into a cooling conveyor as required, and packed.

Because it is machine-driven and continuous, the high-speed process produces an even texture, color, and crunch that is not attainable with batch roasting.

This model, suitable for medium and large food manufacturers, is designed to accommodate high-volume continuous operation.

The reduction of moisture content during roasting makes the product less susceptible to spoilage, allowing for increased distribution and the possibility of export.

Low fuel consumption, while still having high power makes production costs low, and investment returns fast.
