By popular demand, a dry-roller mill that is powered by a single-phase electric motor has been launched by feed company Kelvin Cave.

The company showed off its latest technology at the Yorkshire Agriculture Machinery Show (8 February) earlier this month.

The KC Mini-Flaker meets the requirements of the smaller farm, smallholding or equine establishment.

With an output of 500-600kg/hour the unique configuration of helically-meshed rollers is engineered to run smoothly and quietly driven by its 2.2 kW motor.

The KC Mini-Flaker is simple to operate: Adjust the easily-variable roller pressure setting to suit the grain being processed; press the start button and open the feeder slide.

The KC Mini-Flaker is ideal for processing all cereal grains and mixtures of cereals and pulses such as peas, producing a beautifully flaked finished product.
