Precision Corrugation for Consistent Flour Milling

In the world of grain processing, every detail matters. From grain selection to cleaning, to grinding, the precision of each process step determines the final quality and yield of the flour. Scherer has literally made it our business to produce corrugated mill rolls that perform flour milling with enhanced efficiency while yielding a higher quality product. One key to successful milling is the precise pattern of corrugation on the roll.

The Role of Corrugation in Flour Milling

In a roller mill, it is the corrugation pattern on the surface of the rolls themselves that determines the result of the grind. The geometries of the corrugation, i.e. the angle, depth, and pitch of its grooves, affect the particle size, starch damage, and, logically, quality of the resulting flour. Milling flour is a multistep process, and using the same corrugation for every step will not yield optimal results.

Precision Corrugation for Optimal Grain Processing

With advanced measurement and machining technology, Scherer techs produce custom corrugation profiles according to our customers’ specifications. Some processes require sharp, aggressive shearing, while others need a finer, more precise break, or a perfectly smooth roll for the final milling into fine flour. Our production process involves advanced single-point tooling technology, allowing us to create accurate tooth profiles that deliver uniform particle size during milling.

With precision and care, Scherer gives you control over flour quality and reduces variability between batches. Our precision corrugation optimizes uniformity with every grind.

Improved Yield and Milling Efficiency

Consistency is important, but it isn’t the only measure of success in flour milling. Scherer rolls are built to maximize yield while improving energy efficiency. They minimize over-grinding and product loss, allowing more usable flour to be extracted from every kernel.

We Do More than Build. We Also Maintain.

Rolls can be costly to replace. That’s why Scherer offers re-corrugation and full maintenance services on our rolls to extend their working lives and maintain high performance over time. Quick-turn service helps minimize your downtime, letting you get back to peak production as soon as possible.

Go with Scherer for Quality Grain Processing

There is a reason Scherer is the first name in custom roller mill corrugation. In fact, there are many reasons. Mainly, it is because we have the technical expertise, gained over decades, to help millers achieve the highest quality product from their particular process.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a small specialty mill or part of a large commercial operation; if your goal is to make the finest, most consistent flour, chances are, you are already a Scherer customer. If you are not, now is the time to make that change.
