The drum flaker transforms a molten product into a solid. The process that takes place is a solidification and/or crystallization process. The product begins to solidify the moment it comes into contact with the cold, rotating drum.
After one revolution the completely solidified layer is removed from the drum by a knife and typically breaks into easy to handle flakes. The cooling drum of the flaker is specially designed to provide an even cooling effect by having uniform and effective internal distribution. As a result, both high output and homogeneity of the product are possible. A variable speed drive arrangement enables adjustment of the drum speed for optimum performance.
