Seed Cracker — 50-500 TPD
Seed crackers break whole seeds into 4-6 uniform pieces using counter-rotating corrugated rolls with controlled speed differentials. Reduces downstream flaking power consumption by 20-30% while preventing roll damage from oversized seeds and extending flaker roll life.
Models & Configurations
- Capacity-sized units: Configured for lines from 50 to 500 TPD
- Roll speed differential: 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 ratio, set to your seed type
- Corrugation pattern: Matched to seed size for 4-6 clean pieces per seed

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range do your seed crackers cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, using counter-rotating corrugated rolls with a 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 speed differential producing 4-6 pieces per seed.
Why does the speed differential between rolls matter?
The differential creates a shearing action that cracks the seed cleanly instead of crushing it — crushing produces fines that cause channeling problems later in the extraction column.
Is the seed cracker customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
*This is only an approximate starting price — a rough, loose estimate. Every machine is custom-engineered to your requirements, so the final price depends on capacity, specifications, and configuration — reach out for a firm quote.
