The chopping system for nuts and oilseeds

The disintegration of food can be realized in many different ways, whereby different particle sizes and geometric shapes can be produced. During the chopping process, it is particularly important to minimize the fines below the desired particle size spectrum.

When processing nuts in particular, a range of different products is produced by crushing them. There are chopped, split and ground end products.

The chopping of the nuts can be achieved in several ways. On the one hand, systems are used that crush or chop the nuts using sets of knives. The chopping result, especially as far as the fines are concerned, is extremely dependent on the condition of the knives. In addition, the knife sets are very sensitive to foreign parts.

On the other hand, the OSCS chopping system makes another technology available. The nuts are not cut but broken along the cell boundaries of the nuts. This greatly reduces the undesired proportion of fines compared to knife systems.

Another advantage of the chopping system is the modular design of the system. Depending on the particle size desired, it may be necessary to use one, two or even three pairs of rollers. Each pair of rollers is a modular self-sufficient system and can be combined with other modules and pairs of rollers.

OVERVIEW

The chopping system OSCS

The chopping system OSCS uses a rotating roller system with a special surface geometry to enable an optimal crushing process. The necessary energy requirement of the system is far below that of a chipping system with cutting technology.

OVERVIEW

The chopping system OSCS

The modular design of the chopping system OSCS allows optimal and cost-effective adaptation to production requirements. By combining modules with different roller geometries, the system can be adapted to all customer requirements.
