DRFV - DRFT - Drum Flaker

Principles

Flaking of product is obtained by solidification of the same on internal cooled drum. A thin layer of the liquid product adheres to the outside of the rotating drum and solidifies between the feed and the knife.
When the layer, become hard, arrives to knife, it is detached from drum and broken in small flakes which fall into discharge device. Thickness of flakes is given by feed type, drum rotation speed and, in the DRVF bottom vat type, by the immersion of the drum.
All these parameters are easily adjustable for optimisation of production. Working is continuous and after the initial setting, according to the type of product and the required volume, no other settings or modifications are needed.



Drum flakers are suitable for handling of many organic and inorganic products. Years of use, also in hard conditions, have shown their reliability.
D.C.M. Delta, which manufactures flakers from over thirty years, has improved their performance with new internal cooling by sprayers and drum carefully designed and manufactured.

DRFV - Single Drum Flaker with Vat

  • Rotating cylindrical drum internally cooled by means of a sprayer system.
  • Heated vat for containing melted products.
  • Special adjustable overflow to control level in the vat
  • Knife for detaching the product from the drum. Material of construction according the hardness of product.
  • Drive unit for drum rotation. Variable rotation speed.
  • Discharge hopper for flakers collection.

    • DRFT - Flakers with distribution Roll

    In DRFT the vat is substituted by a distribution roll on the upper part of main drum. This roll has a separate drive unit and the distance from main drum is easily regulated.
    Additional knife for cleaning the distribution roll is foreseen.
    Possibility of hydraulic system for the roll which can act also like a safe device to avoid damage of machine in case of metallic part falling.
    Possibility to heat or cool the distribution roll.
