Automatic Rolls
We Make Consistent Feed Better, for Longer Periods of Time Without Cutting Corners in Our Manufacturing Process
Chill Cast Rolls v Automatic Hardened Steel Rolls
• Chill cast iron costs less for the manufacturer than hardened steel due to the lower material, energy, and labor costs to produce finished rolls
• Chill cast iron has poor corrosion resistance, meaning that the rolls constantly need to be resharpened in order to achieve consistent feed quality
• The lifetime cost of ownership of chill cast iron rolls is much higher than hardened steel rolls
• Automatic Hardened Steel is more expensive because it is better material. Regular maintenance requirements are drastically reduced, saving time and money in the long term
• Hardened steel has 1.5 x the modulus of elasticity of chill cast steel, leading to less wrapping of material on the shaft. the entire mill will last longer, providing years of trouble-free operation
• No need for constant resharpening and reworking to mill quality grain
• Harder, stronger rolls that deliver consistent feed quality for years at a lower lifetime cost
