PURPOSE: To facilitate maintenance, cleaning and hygienic management by disposing a pair of adjacent freely rotatable nip-defining flaking rolls directed to an inclined angle. CONSTITUTION: A flaking roll apparatus 10 for processing cereals has the flaking rolls 76, 78 which are a pair of the nip-defining flaking rolls 76, 78 rotating in opposite directions and are arranged to incline to have a certain axis of rotation existing within the plane arranged at an angle of about 15 to 17 deg. with a horizontal. As a result, this device 10 is made smaller in a floor area and is made easier in operation so that easy cleaning can be carried out. The flaking apparatus 10 over the entire part is provided with threadably adjustable devices 136 for maintaining a proper nip clearance between the flaking rolls 76, 78 and for exact adjustment thereof. Further, the end-to-end adjustment of the apparatus 10 may be achieved by a means consisting of an eccentric mount 108 for the flaking rolls 76. |
