1｜Is a Cracking Mill the Right Machine?

The C-Series Cracking Mill is designed to pre-crack cleaned granular materials into cracked pieces or coarse particles of a suitable size for downstream flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or feed processing.

If you need to produce a fine powder or flour-like material, or to crumble finished feed pellets, another type of machine will usually be more appropriate.

Quick Processing Task Check

Your Processing Task	Recommended Direction
Break whole kernels or seeds into cracked pieces or coarse particles	A C-Series Cracking Mill may be suitable
Pre-crack material before flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or feed processing	A C-Series Cracking Mill may be suitable
The current feed size already meets the requirements of the next process	An additional cracking stage may not be necessary
Produce fine powder or a flour-like product	Consider a hammer mill, grinder, or another fine-grinding machine
Crumble finished feed pellets	A crumbler or another type of equipment may be more suitable
Process material that is high in moisture, sticky, prone to caking, or not previously verified	Complete a technical review first; a sample trial may be recommended

2｜Materials & Typical Applications

The C-Series Cracking Mill can pre-crack a range of granular raw materials, helping prepare a suitable feed size for downstream flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, and feed processing.

The table below summarizes the main materials and typical applications currently covered. The appropriate model, capacity, and target output must still be confirmed against the actual material condition and downstream process.

Materials and Applications

Material	Typical Application
Soybeans	Pre-cracking before flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or feed processing
Corn	Pre-cracking and coarse particle-size adjustment before flaking or feed processing
Peanuts, corn germ, sunflower seeds, cottonseed, rapeseed, and other confirmed oilseeds	Oilseed preparation before flaking, pressing, or solvent extraction
Barley, oats, and other grains	Particle-size adjustment before grain or feed processing; suitability must be confirmed for the specific material
Other beans, blended materials, or unverified granular materials	Project-specific evaluation, with a sample trial where necessary

A material name alone is not enough to confirm suitability. Differences in moisture, feed size, oil content, stickiness, and target output may require a different model, configuration, or testing approach.

3｜Who Typically Uses a Cracking Mill?

If you operate a feed mill, a large farm or integrated livestock operation, or a grain and oilseed processing plant, a C-Series Cracking Mill may be relevant when cleaned whole kernels or seeds need controlled pre-cracking before the next processing stage.

Feed Mills

If you operate a feed mill, you can use a cracking mill to pre-crack corn, soybeans, and other confirmed granular materials before mixing, pelleting, extrusion, or other feed-processing steps.

Large Farms & Integrated Livestock Operations

If you operate a feed mill, including poultry or livestock feed production, you can use a cracking mill to pre-crack corn, soybeans, and other confirmed granular materials before mixing, pelleting, extrusion, or other feed-processing steps.

Grain & Oilseed Processing Plants

If you process grains or oilseeds, a cracking mill can provide pre-cracking before flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or another process that requires cracked pieces or a controlled feed size.

These are common customer and project types, not automatic suitability criteria. Whether the machine is appropriate for your project still depends on the material condition, required capacity, target output, and downstream process.

4｜Conditions That Affect Fit

Even when a material is within the typical application range for the C-Series, actual suitability still depends on the material condition, processing objective, and downstream process.

The following conditions may affect whether a cracking mill is appropriate, which configuration is required, and whether a technical review or sample trial should come first.

Feed Size and Variation

Confirm the feed size and its expected range. Large variations in feed size may affect model selection, feeding method, and operating configuration.

Moisture, Stickiness, and Caking

Materials with higher moisture, strong stickiness, or a tendency to form lumps cannot be evaluated by material name alone. Further technical assessment or a sample trial may be required.

Cleaning and Foreign Materials

The incoming material should undergo appropriate cleaning, destoning, and magnetic separation before entering the cracking mill. Stones, metal, and other hard foreign materials may damage the rolls. A cracking mill does not replace proper upstream cleaning equipment.

Target Output

Confirm whether the required output is cracked pieces, coarse particles, or a specific particle-size range, and whether there are requirements for fines or particle consistency.

The more specific the output requirement, the more important it becomes to verify the result using the actual material.

Downstream Process

The process following the cracking mill—such as flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, pelleting, extrusion, or another operation—affects whether pre-cracking is needed and which machine and operating configuration should be used.

A commonly processed material is not automatically suitable under every operating condition. When the material condition falls outside the usual range, or the target output has special requirements, Bellaex may recommend further technical evaluation or a sample trial.

5｜Special or Unverified Materials

If your material is not listed among the typical applications, is a blend or formulated material, varies significantly in composition, or has no comparable processing record at Bellaex, we will not confirm equipment suitability based on the material name alone.

Bellaex can first review available project, application, and trial records. Where comparable information exists and has been approved for external sharing, we can provide representative project photos, trial images, or videos for reference.

Our engineers will also evaluate the material characteristics, target output, and downstream process. If the available information is not sufficient for a reliable assessment, we can discuss a sample trial before determining whether the application is suitable for a cracking mill and whether it requires a standard model, a special configuration, or an alternative processing solution.

Comparable project information and trial results can support your preliminary assessment.

1｜How Does the Cracking Process Work?

The C-Series Cracking Mill does not rely on high-speed impact to reduce material to fine powder. Instead, toothed rolls apply controlled compression and shear to break whole kernels or seeds into cracked pieces or coarse particles suitable for downstream processing.

The incoming material is fed continuously and evenly into the working zone. The toothed roll surfaces grip the particles and draw them into the roll gap. The rolls rotate toward each other at different speeds. Pressure between the rolls compresses the material, while their relative speed creates a shearing action. Together, these forces crack the material into larger pieces or coarse particles rather than grinding it through high-speed impact.

The illustration below shows the core cracking action between one pair of rolls. In a double-pair configuration, the material may pass through two working stages: the first stage performs the initial cracking, and the second stage further adjusts the degree of size reduction. The actual processing path depends on the material, target output, and downstream process.

Basic Cracking Sequence

Stable Feeding → Toothed Rolls Grip the Material → Differential-Speed Rolls Apply Compression and Shear → Roll Gap Controls the Degree of Cracking → Cracked Pieces or Coarse Particles

Simplified illustration of the core cracking action. Double-pair configurations apply the same principle across two working stages.

Roll gap is one of the main settings that affects output size. A wider gap generally produces larger pieces. Reducing the gap increases the degree of cracking, but it may also increase the amount of smaller particles and fines.

For this reason, the correct setting is not simply the smallest possible gap. The roll gap and operating setup should balance the required particle size, fines control, and the needs of the next process.

The final result also depends on the material type, feed size, moisture, oil content, and feeding stability. Bellaex recommends the machine and operating setup according to the material and the requirements of downstream flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or feed processing. Special materials or demanding output requirements may require a sample trial.

2｜Where Does the Machine Fit in the Process?

A cracking mill is typically installed after raw-material cleaning and foreign-material removal and before flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, or another main processing stage. A stable, controlled feed should be supplied to the machine.

The cracking mill prepares whole kernels or seeds for the next machine by reducing them to cracked pieces or coarse particles of a more suitable size.

Whether a cracking stage is required depends mainly on the input requirements of the downstream equipment. A cracking mill may be installed before the next machine when:

whole kernels are too large for the downstream process; or
the next processing stage requires cracked pieces or coarse particles.

When the incoming material already meets the downstream equipment’s requirements, an additional cracking stage may not be necessary.

The exact need for a cracking mill—and its position in the line—should be confirmed against the material condition, target output, upstream feeding method, and downstream equipment requirements.

Oilseed Preparation

Raw Material Receiving → Cleaning and Foreign-Material Removal → Conveying or Storage → Cracking → Flaking, Conditioning, or Other Preparation → Pressing or Solvent Extraction

Feed and Grain Processing

Grain or Granular Material → Cleaning and Foreign-Material Removal → Conveying or Storage → Cracking → Downstream Processing

Pre-Cracking Before Flaking

Cleaned Whole Kernels → Stable Feeding → Pre-Cracking Where Required → Flaking Mill or Other Roll-Processing Equipment

3｜Standalone Machine or Line Project?

The C-Series Cracking Mill can be supplied as a standalone machine for integration into an existing production line or as one processing stage within a complete Bellaex production-line solution.

For an Existing Production Line

When the site already has suitable cleaning, feeding, conveying, and downstream processing equipment, Bellaex can recommend a cracking mill for:

a new installation or the addition of a cracking stage;
a capacity-expansion project; or
replacement of an existing machine.
The recommendation will be based on the material, required capacity, target output, and existing site and equipment interfaces.

For a New Production Line

When you are planning a new line, Bellaex can provide a production-line solution that includes the cracking stage and the related upstream and downstream equipment.

The line design can account for:

the overall process flow;
capacity matching between machines;
material transfer and feeding;
equipment connections; and
coordination between the cracking mill and the downstream process.
The final equipment combination, automation scope, installation interfaces, supply scope, and service scope will be confirmed according to the project requirements.

1｜What Does a Suitable Cracking Result Look Like?

A suitable cracking result is not the finest output possible. It is the degree of cracking that prepares the material for the next process while limiting uncracked kernels, over-cracking, and unnecessary fines.

The required result varies by material and downstream process. For flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, feed processing, or other applications, the cracking result should be evaluated against the downstream equipment’s input requirements, a target sample, or an agreed particle-size range.

A suitable result normally needs to meet several conditions:

Suitable Output Form

The material reaches the required form, such as cracked pieces, coarse particles, or a specified particle-size range.

Limited Uncracked Material

Whole kernels have been cracked to the degree required by the next process, without leaving an excessive amount of uncracked material.

Limited Over-Cracking

The material is not reduced more than necessary, helping avoid an excessive amount of smaller particles and fines.

Relatively Stable Output

Under stable continuous operating conditions, the output should not show substantial or unexplained shifts between coarser and finer material.

Suitable for Downstream Processing

The cracked material meets the practical input requirements of the next machine or processing stage.

In pre-cracking applications where the target output is cracked pieces or coarse particles, toothed rolls use controlled compression and shear to open the kernels. Compared with high-speed impact equipment used for further size reduction, this approach can generally help limit unnecessary fines when the material, target size, and operating conditions are comparable.

The actual result still depends on the material condition, feeding stability, machine settings, and roll condition. The reference images below show cracking results under stated trial conditions rather than guaranteed results for every material or production line.

2｜Example Cracking Results

The images below come from a Bellaex corn trial and show reference output under different roll gaps and operating modes.

The trial record includes single-pair and double-pair operation, together with several roll-gap settings. These samples provide a visual comparison of how the degree of cracking changes with the operating setup.

The samples show that changes in roll gap and operating mode can affect particle size, the degree of cracking, and the amount of smaller material. A wider roll gap generally retains more large pieces. As the gap is reduced, the material is cracked further, and the amount of smaller particles may also increase.

These images are intended to explain the relationship between machine settings and output—not to define a guaranteed result. They represent a specific corn material under the stated short-trial conditions. The same settings may not produce identical output across different corn varieties, material conditions, or production projects.

The actual setup should be confirmed against the target particle size, fines requirements, and downstream process.

Corn Samples at Different Degrees of Cracking

Trial Reference

Item	Trial Information
Material	Corn
Trial date	March 10, 2026
Test unit	C25125
Operating settings	Selected settings are shown where available
Evidence type	Visual reference from a short factory trial; no sieve-analysis results are claimed

Single-Pair and Double-Pair Reference

In single-pair operation, the material passes through one pair of toothed rolls. This mode is generally used when relatively coarse particle-size adjustment is required.

In double-pair operation, the material passes through two pairs of rolls in sequence. The second stage can further reduce particle size after the initial cracking stage.

The appropriate operating mode depends on the material condition, target output, and downstream process.

3｜What Affects the Final Result?

The cracking result is not determined by roll gap alone. Even with the same machine, differences in material condition, feeding, operating mode, and actual production conditions can result in different particle sizes, fines levels, and output consistency.

The main factors include:

Material Properties

Material hardness, kernel structure, oil content, and stickiness affect how particles are gripped and cracked by the toothed rolls.

Different varieties or batches of the same material may also behave differently during cracking.

Feed Size and Moisture

The size and uniformity of the incoming material, its moisture level, and the presence of lumps can all affect the degree of cracking.

Materials with higher moisture or greater stickiness may cause unstable feeding, material buildup on the rolls, or greater variation in the output.

Feeding Stability

Continuous and even feeding helps maintain a stable material load across the working area.

When the material flow repeatedly increases and decreases, the degree of cracking and output consistency may also vary.

Roll Gap and Operating Mode

Roll gap is one of the main settings that affects the degree of cracking. Reducing the gap generally increases size reduction, but it may also increase the amount of smaller particles and fines.

Single-pair and double-pair operation also change how many roll stages the material passes through and how the cracking process is applied.

Roll Condition

Tooth profile, roll wear, and whether the roll gap is consistent on both sides can affect material gripping and output stability.

After extended operation, the rolls should be inspected and adjusted according to their actual condition.

Actual Operating Conditions

Throughput, continuous operating conditions, machine settings, and the balance between upstream feeding and downstream processing can all affect the final result.

Results observed during a short, small-batch trial may not directly represent performance under continuous production conditions.

4｜When Is a Sample Trial Recommended?

For common materials and conventional cracking targets, where Bellaex has comparable application or trial records, an initial assessment can often be made from the material, required capacity, and downstream process.

For less typical or more demanding applications, Bellaex first reviews the available information. A sample trial may then be recommended when one or more of the following applies:

the material is unusual or Bellaex has no closely comparable processing record;
the raw material is a blend, formulated material, or varies significantly between batches;
the project has strict requirements for fines, uncracked kernels, or output consistency;
a narrow particle-size range or a specific target sample is required;
the material has high moisture or oil content, is sticky, or is prone to caking;
a retrofit project needs to confirm that the output will match existing downstream equipment; or
you want to see how your own material performs before final model selection.

Before a sample trial, we recommend providing a representative material sample, a target sample or reference photos, the required output, and details of the downstream process.

Bellaex engineers will use this information, together with available application and trial records, to determine whether a trial is needed and which settings and results should be compared.

1｜How Does Bellaex Select a Model?

To help narrow the model range, please provide the following information:

Material to Be Processed

Are you processing soybeans, corn, oilseeds, grains, or another granular material?

Required Capacity and Operating Hours

How much material needs to be processed per hour or per day? How many effective operating hours are planned each day?

Target Output

Do you need larger cracked pieces, smaller coarse particles, or a defined particle-size range? Are there specific requirements for fines?

Downstream Process

Will the cracked material proceed to flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, pelleting, or another processing stage?

Incoming Material and Project Conditions

Provide the feed size, moisture, cleaning status, and whether the project is a new line, a capacity expansion, or a replacement of existing equipment.

Based on this information, Bellaex engineers can identify a preliminary model range and determine whether the project is better suited to a single standard machine, a parallel-machine arrangement, or a more customized solution.

The model and capacity tables below support preliminary comparison only. The final model and configuration remain subject to technical confirmation.

2｜Model Range and Reference Capacity

A｜Soybean-Based Reference Capacity

Capacity basis: soybean. The TPD figures below are intended for preliminary model comparison. Capacity for other materials must be confirmed separately based on the feed condition, target output, machine settings, and operating conditions.

Model	Soybean Reference Capacity	Roll Dimensions	Reference Total Installed Power	Preliminary Project Scale
C2560	30–60 TPD	250 × 600 mm	15.55 kW	Small-capacity projects
C2580	80–100 TPD	250 × 800 mm	22.55 kW	Small- to medium-capacity projects
C25100	150–200 TPD	250 × 1000 mm	22.55 kW	Medium-capacity projects
C25125	180–250 TPD	250 × 1250 mm	30.55 kW	Medium-capacity projects
C3100	200–250 TPD	300 × 1000 mm	30.55 kW	Medium- to high-capacity projects
C3125	250–300 TPD	300 × 1250 mm	37.55 kW	Medium- to high-capacity projects
C4100	300–350 TPD	400 × 1000 mm	30.55 kW	Starting point for higher-capacity projects
C4125	350–400 TPD	400 × 1250 mm	37.55 kW	Higher-capacity projects
C4150	400–500 TPD	400 × 1500 mm	44.55 kW	Higher-capacity projects
C4210	900–1000 TPD	400 × 2100 mm	91.1 kW	Large-capacity projects

The figures above are based on soybean only.

Peanuts, corn germ, sunflower seeds, cottonseed, rapeseed, and other oilseeds differ in particle characteristics, oil content, moisture, and target output. Soybean reference capacities must not be applied to these materials based on the material name alone.

B｜Corn-Based Reference Capacity

Capacity basis: corn. The TPH figures below are the current reference capacities for corn. Do not apply them directly to other grains, soybeans, or blended materials.

Model	Corn Reference Capacity	Roll Dimensions	Reference Total Installed Power	Preliminary Project Scale
C2580G	10 TPH	250 × 800 mm	22.55 kW	Small- to medium-capacity corn projects
C25100G	12 TPH	250 × 1000 mm	22.55 kW	Medium-capacity corn projects
C25125G	15 TPH	250 × 1250 mm	30.55 kW	Higher-capacity corn projects within the current listed range

The corn reference capacities above must not be applied directly to soybeans, other grains, or projects with different target outputs. They also do not represent the final capacity of an entire production line.

Actual model selection must also consider the corn variety, feed condition, moisture, operating mode, and the capacity and requirements of the upstream and downstream equipment.

3｜How Should Capacity Data Be Read?

Capacity figures are used to establish a preliminary model range. They do not mean that the same throughput will be achieved for every material, machine setting, or production condition.

The following distinctions are important when reading the tables.

TPH and TPD Use Different Time Bases

TPH expresses reference throughput per hour, while TPD expresses reference throughput per day.

Values from the soybean and corn tables should not be converted into each other because the tables use different material bases and model ranges.

For the same material and a confirmed machine configuration, estimating daily capacity from hourly capacity also requires the effective daily operating hours.

Reference Capacity Does Not Transfer Between Materials

Soybean-based TPD figures cannot be used directly as the capacity of corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, or other grains and oilseeds.

Contact a Bellaex Engineer for Material-Specific Capacity Information →

Daily Output Depends on Effective Operating Hours

The same hourly reference capacity corresponds to different daily output when a production line operates effectively for 8, 16, or 20 hours per day.

Planned operating time should therefore be provided when daily capacity is used for preliminary selection.

4｜Detailed Technical Information

When you need to compare equipment dimensions, weight, installed power, electrical requirements, and other technical data, refer to the full technical specification table.

The detailed information can help you:

compare the specifications of different models;
make a preliminary check of installation space and electrical conditions;
share equipment information with technical, procurement, or project teams; and
prepare the basic information required for further model selection and project discussions.

The technical specifications are intended for preliminary evaluation. Final dimensions, configuration, equipment interfaces, and supply scope will depend on the confirmed model and project requirements.

1｜How Do the Key Designs Support Operation?

The C-Series Cracking Mill uses toothed rolls with differential-speed drive, adjustable roll gap, controlled feeding, model-specific processing paths, and protection and maintenance features to support the continuous pre-cracking of granular materials.

The specific structure and configuration of these features may vary by model. During selection, each feature should be reviewed against the material, required capacity, target output, downstream process, and site conditions.

Key design locations shown for reference. Actual structures and configurations vary by model.

Key Design Considerations

Key Design	Why It Matters to the Project	What to Confirm During Selection
Alloy Toothed Rolls with Differential-Speed Drive	Enable controlled pre-cracking of whole kernels into cracked pieces or coarse particles through compression and shear rather than high-speed impact.	Material, required capacity, roll dimensions, roll speed, and applicable model
Adjustable Roll Gap	Helps adjust the degree of cracking and balance the required particle size with fines control	Target output, fines requirements, material condition, and downstream process
Single-Pair or Double-Pair Processing Path	Allows one or two cracking stages to be considered for different degrees of pre-cracking	Target particle size, required processing stages, and whether the relevant model includes the required structure
Controlled Feeding	Helps material enter the toothed-roll working area continuously and relatively evenly	Upstream feeding method, hopper or storage conditions, material flowability, and continuous operating requirements
Model-Specific Foreign-Material Protection and Maintenance Access	May help reduce the risk of hard foreign materials reaching the working area while providing access for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance.	Upstream cleaning and magnetic separation, available maintenance space, and the protection and access design of the selected model

The table highlights the main design features that should be considered during selection. It does not mean that every C-Series model uses the same structure or configuration.

Where the selected model includes integrated magnetic protection, it may help intercept ferrous contaminants. It does not replace proper upstream cleaning, destoning, and magnetic separation.

Roll specifications, drive configuration, single-pair or double-pair processing paths, and maintenance access must be confirmed against the selected model and project requirements.

2｜Which Options Need Project Confirmation?

Requirements for cleaning and hygiene, corrosion resistance, electrical standards, component brands, maintenance practices, and existing production-line interfaces vary between projects.

The following options normally need to be reviewed before the technical proposal and quotation are finalized.

Configuration Options

Configuration Category	Options That Can Be Discussed	Project Conditions to Consider
Housing and Related Materials	Carbon steel, 304 stainless steel (SS304), or another confirmed material	Cleaning requirements, corrosion conditions, customer specifications, and operating environment
Motor Brand	Bellaex standard configuration, a customer-specified brand, or another project-approved brand	Local availability, customer standards, and maintenance practices
Bearing Brand	Standard brand or customer-specified brand	Spare-parts availability, maintenance standards, and procurement requirements
Gearbox Brand	Standard brand or customer-specified brand	Project standards, local service availability, and maintenance requirements
Voltage and Frequency	Confirmed according to the project location	Local power supply and applicable electrical standards
Control Method	Standalone control or integration with an existing control system	New-line projects, retrofits, and automation requirements
Inlet and Outlet Interfaces	Standard interfaces or project-specific adaptation	Upstream and downstream equipment, installation orientation, and available site space
Spare Parts and Maintenance Package	Initial spares included as agreed, recommended spares, or a project-specific spare-parts package	Operating plan, local inventory, and maintenance capability

Potential configuration options include carbon steel or SS304 and different motor, bearing, and gearbox brand choices. Availability depends on the selected model and project requirements.

These options should not be treated as a universal configuration list for every C-Series model.

Specifying a brand or material does not automatically confirm that it can be adopted. Bellaex must also verify dimensions, power ratings, mounting arrangements, interfaces, and overall compatibility with the selected model before the configuration is finalized.

Selected materials, component brands, electrical requirements, control integration, and interface adaptations may affect the final quotation.

3｜What Can Be Included in the Supply Scope?

The C-Series Cracking Mill can be supplied as a standalone machine or combined with related equipment and services according to the project requirements.

Possible Supply Levels

Supply Level	Items That Can Be Discussed
Standalone Cracking Mill	The confirmed cracking mill model and the drive, feeding, roll-gap adjustment, guarding, materials, and component configuration agreed for the order
Cracking Mill with Auxiliary Equipment	Feeding, conveying, cleaning, magnetic separation, electrical controls, and equipment-integration items, where required
Production Line or Retrofit Project	Project-specific evaluation of equipment quantity, capacity matching, site layout, inlet and outlet interfaces, electrical controls, and required technical documents
Project Services	Packaging, transportation, installation guidance, commissioning, training, spare parts, and other project services, where agreed

The equipment and services included may differ between projects.

The final supply scope is defined by the equipment list and the stated inclusions and exclusions in the formal quotation, technical agreement, or contract.

See how the equipment is assembled and checked before delivery, what comparable application references may be available, and which installation, commissioning, training, spare parts, and after-sales support arrangements can be discussed for your project. From preliminary selection through delivery preparation, the sales, engineering, manufacturing, quality-inspection, and project-support teams involved in the order work according to a shared set of confirmed technical requirements to keep key project information consistent throughout the process.

1｜How Is the Equipment Manufactured and Inspected?

Before delivery preparation begins, each C-Series Cracking Mill undergoes assembly, a no-load operation check, and a final completion review according to the confirmed model and order requirements.

The checks go beyond the external appearance of the machine. Major areas include the toothed rolls, bearings and supporting components, feeding system, roll-gap adjustment, drive system, guarding, and lubrication arrangements.

These checks help confirm that the main assemblies are complete and that the equipment has the basic conditions required for operation and routine maintenance.

Main Assembly and Inspection Stages

Stage	Main Activities	What the Stage Helps Confirm
Key Components and Assembly Preparation	Check the machine base, toothed rolls, bearings, bearing housings, and related assembly components	Whether the main components are ready for correct assembly
Main Structure Assembly	Install the toothed rolls, roll-gap adjustment mechanism, feeding components, housing, access panels, and guards	Whether the main mechanical structure is complete and the adjustment and protection components are correctly installed
Drive and Lubrication Assembly	Check the pulleys, drive components, lubrication lines, and related connections	Whether the drive and lubrication arrangements are properly assembled for basic operation and routine maintenance
No-Load Operation Check	Check machine start and stop, roll rotation, drive condition, abnormal noise, and visible mechanical interference	Whether basic mechanical operation is normal under no-load conditions
Final Completion Check	Review assembly completeness, guarding, finishing condition, and the applicable delivery documentation	Whether the equipment is ready to proceed to packaging and delivery preparation

A no-load operation check confirms the machine’s basic mechanical operation without material. It does not by itself verify capacity, particle-size results, or continuous production performance for a specific material.

2｜Comparable Application and Project Evidence

Bellaex can review available trial and project records based on the material, process position, target capacity, and project conditions.

Where relevant records exist and have been approved for external sharing, Bellaex may provide comparable trial images, project photos, videos, or other representative application references.

Comparable references can help you understand whether Bellaex has experience with a similar material, processing task, or project condition. However, even the same material may differ in moisture, target output, feed condition, and actual production environment.

For this reason, comparable application evidence supports preliminary assessment only. Final model selection and configuration must still be confirmed against the actual conditions of your project.

Request Comparable Application References →

3｜Installation, Commissioning & After-Sales Support

Depending on the project requirements, Bellaex can discuss installation preparation, commissioning support, operator training, spare parts, and after-sales technical support for the C-Series Cracking Mill.

Whether support is provided remotely, on site, or through another agreed arrangement will depend on the confirmed equipment scope, project location, and site conditions. The applicable support method and scope will be explained during the quotation and project-confirmation stage.

Installation and Start-Up Support

Stage	Support That May Be Provided for the Project
Installation Preparation	Provide the confirmed model dimensions, interface information, and recommendations for installation preparation
Equipment Installation	Provide remote installation guidance or discuss other installation-support arrangements required for the project
Commissioning and Start-Up	Assist with checking machine start and stop, no-load operation, feeding conditions, and initial roll-gap settings
Operator Training	Introduce machine operation, roll-gap adjustment, routine inspection, cleaning, and lubrication requirements
Maintenance Training	Explain common inspection points, maintenance precautions, and components that require regular attention

The exact installation, commissioning, training, spare-parts, and after-sales support scope may differ between projects.

Any travel, on-site services, responsibilities, or items included in the order must be confirmed in the formal quotation, technical agreement, or contract.

Need to Confirm Installation, Commissioning, or After-Sales Arrangements?

Share the project country, equipment application, and available site information so the Bellaex team can explain which support arrangements may be suitable for your project.

1｜What Information Helps Us Recommend a Model?

To begin a preliminary model selection, you only need to share three basic pieces of information:

Basic Information	What to Tell Us
Material	The material you plan to process, such as soybeans, corn, oilseeds, grains, or another granular material
Required Capacity	How much material you plan to process per hour or per day, together with the approximate daily operating time
Processing Goal	The type of cracked pieces or coarse particles you need, or the process that follows the cracking stage

If you are not yet sure about the target particle size, tell us what comes next in your process—for example, flaking, oil pressing, solvent extraction, pelleting, extrusion, or another processing stage. Our engineers can use the downstream requirements to help clarify a suitable output direction.

The following information is also helpful when available:

feed size, moisture, or material photos;
details of the existing machine or production line;
whether the project is a new line, capacity expansion, or retrofit;
site photos, layout information, or installation constraints; and
voltage, frequency, and project country.

These details can improve the accuracy of the preliminary recommendation, but you do not need to prepare everything before your first contact.

2｜What Happens After You Contact Us?

After receiving your information, Bellaex will typically proceed through the following steps:

1. Review the Basic Application Conditions

We first assess whether a C-Series Cracking Mill is appropriate for your material and processing goal.

2. Clarify the Key Missing Information

If more information is needed to evaluate the model, configuration, or expected result, we will ask a limited number of focused questions.

3. Recommend an Equipment Direction

Based on the material, required capacity, target output, and downstream process, we can recommend a preliminary model range, processing mode, and main configuration direction.

4. Prepare the Technical Proposal and Quotation

Once the key project conditions are sufficiently clear, Bellaex can prepare the relevant technical proposal and formal quotation based on the proposed equipment and supply scope.

For unusual materials, strict particle-size or fines requirements, or projects without closely comparable application records, we will explain whether further technical evaluation is needed and whether a sample trial should be considered before final selection.

3｜Not Sure Which Cracking Mill to Choose?
