Conditioner — 50-500 TPD
The conditioner sits between cracking and flaking. Cracked seed arrives at 8-10% moisture, too brittle to flake cleanly; direct steam injection with indirect heating raises it to 10-12% at 60-70°C, so the seed deforms into a flake instead of shattering into fines.
Residence time is 15-30 minutes with internal mixing, long enough for heat and moisture to reach the full bed rather than its surface. Stainless steel construction stands the continuous steam. The payoff is 15-20% less flaking power, fewer fines and longer roll life.
For lines from 50 to 500 TPD on soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, cottonseed and groundnut. Feedstocks needing 20-40 minutes of multi-stage treatment want the Cooker instead.
Every Conditioner is built to your plant’s throughput at our Pithampur works in India and exported to solvent extraction plants and oil mills abroad — 22+ countries across five continents to date. Capacity, drive rating, your supply voltage and frequency, and the interfaces to the machines either side of it are all settled before fabrication starts.

Export Supply and Shipping
- Shipping: Containerised in sub-assemblies where the machine’s envelope allows, otherwise flat rack or break bulk; FOB Nhava Sheva or Mundra, or CIF your port.
- Electrics to destination: Motors, gearboxes and panel built for your supply — 380, 400, 415 or 440 V at 50 or 60 Hz — and CE marked where required.
- Packing: Product-contact surfaces cleaned and wrapped, machined faces preserved against sea air, and everything crated on ISPM-15 heat-treated timber.
- Erection support: General arrangement, foundation and utility drawings at order; a commissioning engineer can be deputed to run the machine in on your own feedstock.
- Documents and payment: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, material test certificates and bill of lading; quoted in US dollars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range do your conditioners cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, raising seed moisture to a 10-12% target at 60-70°C with a 15-30 minute residence time.
Do I need a conditioner or a cooker?
Most standard oilseed lines are served by a conditioner’s 15-30 minute cycle. High-protein feedstocks that need longer, multi-stage treatment (20-40 minutes) call for a cooker instead — the deciding factor is the residence time your feedstock needs.
Is the conditioner customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Can you export the Conditioner and support the erection at our plant?
Yes. We have supplied oil seed processing equipment to buyers in 22+ countries across five continents. The machine is containerised in sub-assemblies where its envelope allows, and a commissioning engineer can be deputed to erect it and run it in on your own feedstock.
