Drum Flaker

A Drum Flaker is a specialized machine designed to convert molten materials into solid flakes through efficient cooling and solidification. By utilizing a rotating drum and a precision scraper, the equipment ensures uniform flaking, making it an essential tool in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and agro-processing industries. Drum flakers are ideal for materials requiring controlled cooling, offering unparalleled efficiency and ease of operation.

Ascent Machineries & Engineering Services Ltd., based in Goregaon, Mumbai, India, is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality drum flakers. With a strong presence in over 80 countries, we adhere to global standards to deliver cutting-edge solutions tailored to diverse industrial needs. Our focus on innovation and reliability ensures consistent performance and long-term value for our clients.

What Are the Technical Aspects of Drum Flakers?

Drum flakers operate by transferring molten material onto a rotating drum cooled by water or other cooling media. The material solidifies into a uniform layer, which is scraped off as flakes.

Key Operational Parameters:

Drum Temperature: Adjustable between -10°C and 40°C (depending on cooling media)
Drum Speed: 1–15 RPM for optimal flaking
Cooling Media: Water, brine, or glycol solution
Flake Thickness: 0.1 mm–2 mm (adjustable)

Materials Used:

Drum Material: Polished stainless steel (SS304, SS316, SS316L)
Scraper Blades: Hardened stainless steel or Teflon
Frame: Mild steel or stainless steel for durability
Seals and Gaskets: Food-grade materials for safe operation

Applications:

Chemical Industry: Solidifying waxes, resins, and fatty acids.
Pharmaceuticals: Producing flakes of intermediates and fine chemicals.
Food Industry: Flaking chocolate, butter, and other food-grade materials.
Agro-Processing: Handling fertilizers, seeds, and plant extracts.
