Flaking roll apparatus (10) for the processing of cereal products or the like is provided which includes a pair of counterrotating, nipdefining flaking rolls (76, 78) which are obliquely oriented with the rotational axes thereof lying in a plane situated at an angle between about 15.degree. and 70.degree. with respect to the horizontal. In this manner, the apparatus (10) uses less floor space and can more readily be serviced and cleaned. The overall flaking apparatus (10) preferably includes threadably adjustable devices (136) for maintaining proper nip clearance between the flaking rolls (76, 78) and for precise adjustment thereof. Additionally, end-to-end adjustment of the flaking roll assembly (10) is afforded by means of an eccentric mount (108) for one of the flaking rolls (76). |
