Description Corn Flour Production Line LMK-500
Corn Flour Production Line LMK-500 - Complete technological line for producing fine corn flour using extrusion and grinding.
The LMK-500 line is an advanced system designed for comprehensive corn processing, enabling the production of high-quality flour with a uniform, fine particle structure. The process runs in continuous mode and includes all key stages — from thermomechanical treatment of the grain to final grinding and preparation of the product for packaging.
Technological Process Description
The cycle begins with feeding corn grain into the EGK-500 extruder, where high temperature and pressure cause the material to expand and undergo initial structural modification. The resulting extrudate is transferred to a pre-crusher, which reduces particle size for further processing.
Next, the material is transported by the TL-1000 belt conveyor to the BKO-300 drum separator, which removes overly fine fractions and stabilizes product granulation. Dust removal and separation of light impurities are handled by the VP-4 aspiration system, ensuring a clean product and work environment.
Fractions requiring final grinding are directed to the KRAFT-11 hammer mill fitted with a 2 mm screen, where the product is thoroughly milled into fine flour. The finished fraction passes through a cyclone with a support structure and is delivered to an intermediate tank or directly to big bags.
Applications and Benefits
The LMK-500 line is designed for processing plants, agricultural facilities, and feed or food production enterprises.
The extrusion–milling technology ensures:
High uniformity and fineness of flour
A stable and dust-free production process
Full automation of all key stages
Improved material properties through thermomechanical treatment
Product ready for direct packaging or further processing
Main Components of the LMK-500 Line
EGK-500 Extruder – Performs intensive thermal and mechanical processing of the grain, initiating expansion and improving material properties.
Pre-crusher for extrudate – Reduces particle size before classification and fine grinding.
TL-1000 Belt Conveyor – Ensures smooth transport and partial cooling of the material between stages.
BKO-300 Drum Separator – Removes fine fractions and stabilizes product structure.
VP-4 Aspiration System – Eliminates dust, light waste, and excess heat for a clean, safe process.
KRAFT-11 Hammer Mill (2 mm screen) – Provides precise, fine grinding to obtain uniform flour.
Cyclone with support frame – Separates the final fraction and directs it to a storage tank or big bags.
