Design Features

Rapid Roll Change (Patents: US 5,673,864, etc)

The grinding rolls, together with their bearings and fittings are mounted on the roll pack assembly.

The complete rollpack can be removed and replaced quickly and easily. The fast roll can be changed individually without disturbance to the slow roll and other rollpack components

Air Management

Satake has introduced an anti-fluidisation air management system which maximizes grind efficiency and prevents dust emission

Heavy Duty Bushes

Heavy duty brushes are offered for roll cleaning. The brush brackets are spring loaded and pivoted to move with the roll.

Pneumatic Roll Support

The main grinding rolls are held in the engaged position by compact pneumatic cylinders. The air cylinders are integrated into the rollpack allowing very high grind forces to be achieved.

HTD Differential Drive (Patents: GB 2 115 722B, etc)

The innovative double sided tool belt drive reduces noise levels and simplifies routine maintenance.

Vari-Speed Feedroll Drive (Patents: US 5,433,391, etc)

The feedroll speed is controlled by an intelligent microprocessor which monitors the stock flow passing a sensor bank on the sight feed unit.
This system effectively smoothes out any irregularities in feed to the grinding rolls contributing to consistent mill operation.
