The Sven Mill roller mills crack the grain instead of pulverizing it like a hammer mill. One of the key elements of building a Sven Mill, is choosing those grooves that will achieve best performance for your mill. The texture of the milled product is influenced by the pattern of the grooves on the rollers. Whether your roller mill is for a lab, pilot facility, feed lot or feed mill application, our units have the versatility and power you need, at a very affordable price.
Why Groove Patterns Matter
Grooving on a roller means how the cut pattern is made, how is the grain sheared, crushed or cracked. The quantity, depth, and angle of the cut in the mill produces aggressive cutting or gentle rolling.
The Sven mill has a conventional roller mill house with the same great features as the Apollo machine, however, the sven mill offers so many additional options. Selecting the right type of grooving can also help to prevent you from over-grinding the grain or from slowing it down due to poor grinding.
Sven Mill Grooves Pattern Types, Grooving Styles and Function pertaining to the Sven Mill
Spiral Grooves:
The helical grooves are perfect for quick shearing and for lifting the grain out of the cavities between the plates. The grooves do this by causing a pulling force to be exerted on material pulled through the rollers. SvenMill it’s great for a variety of tasks, from fine grinding of grains to fine grinding of traditional home style grinds.
Straight Grooves:
Straight grooves are slashed parallel to the roller to open and crack all grains such as corn or soybeans. This design exerts a cutting action and is well suited when a more broken-down, a less uniform product is desired, as for example livestock feed.
Grooves: These can be Diamond or Cross-Hatch:
This second, more aggressive pattern is a combination of crosses cut grooves. Convenient for the tougher grains or if you need to grind a bit more for the particle size reduction. This means some SvenMill users want a ribbed roll to make more corn meal or gritty feed in addition to small grains.
Depth and Spacing of Grooves
The GPI and depth of the grooves are also important. For finer grooving such as what is needed for milling flour, the rollers can be grooved down to 500 micrometres in size. A coarser groove provides rapid product through put and is an excellent option for feed production. Sven Mill Operators can select the groove profile they prefer to achieve the product they are wanting from their material.
Please refer to the grooving according to the working requirements, and the service life will be ameliorated not only in order to improve the quality of products, but also to reduce wear of other components, it is preferred to adjust the groove of the grinding wheel in accordance with the operation to ensure that the load of the miling is reasonable, reducing the unnecessary friction.
Customization and Regrooving
This has the advantage that the rollers can be customized if necessary, or regrooved. As the rollers become worn, they can be regrooved to provide the desired level of performance, and in some cases to provide a different groove pattern for new or modified operational requirements. New grooves for grain; with the same great Sven Mill; custom design saves money and provides efficiency.
Conclusion
Selecting the right type of roller cover for your Sven roller mill is essential to achieving the finest grind and the best machine performance. You can go for coarse cracking or fine grinding, in either case, the precise groove pattern can ensure the fine output, you are looking for. Featuring the same mill housing and use of the robust Sven Mill 4, the Sven Mill 6 will provide an excellent crush along with new features to make your feed and seed processing more efficient before purchasing in the future.
