Lab Flaking

Lab Flaking

The 18×12 or 18×6 Laboratory Flaking Mills are purpose-built for labs, pilot plants, and foundation-sized cereal flaking operations—processing up to 150 lbs per hour. While it shines in cereal testing environments, this mill is versatile enough to handle a wide range of products, making it a powerful tool for R&D and small-scale production work.

Production-Grade Design in a Compact Footprint

This mill mirrors the engineering of our heavy-duty industrial flakers, but in a compact package with independent operator controls for precision testing and product development.

Standard features include:

  • Chilled cast iron rolls with rotary unions for roll cooling

  • FDA white powder-coated frame for clean, sanitary operation

  • Stainless steel center section ensuring safe, sterile product contact

  • 5 HP dual-drive system allowing independent roll control

  • Handwheel roll adjustment for intuitive, precise setup

  • Heavy-duty springs and hydraulic accumulator for roll protection

Whether you’re refining a recipe or validating a new process, the Ferrell-Ross 18×12 gives you the control and reliability to test confidently and consistently.
