Shredding Rolls – Breakfast Cereals

Shredding is an alternative to flaking, designed to form cooked cereal into layered shredded products or stranded type products. Examples are shreddies and shredded wheat. Products are usually based on corn, wheat, bran or rice, fruit filled products are possible. Cooked cereal is fed to a number of shredding roll mill units via an overhead recirculating and distribution screw. The screw flood feeds individual shredding roll hoppers. The roll assembly has one grooved and one plain roll. Product is fed through the roll nip to form a web of materials or strands. Product is separated from the roll by a comb scraper onto a conveyor underneath.
