Seed Cracker — 50-500 TPD
Seed crackers break whole seeds into a few uniform pieces between counter-rotating corrugated rolls turning at different speeds — the preparation step that decides how well the flaker downstream can do its job.
Every Seed Cracker 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 seed crackers cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, using counter-rotating corrugated rolls with a 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 speed differential producing 4-6 pieces per seed.
Why does the speed differential between rolls matter?
The differential creates a shearing action that cracks the seed cleanly instead of crushing it — crushing produces fines that cause channeling problems later in the extraction column.
Is the seed cracker 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 Seed Cracker 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.
