Overview The Wakely 1240 Compact is designed for large farmers and contractors to roll, crimp or flake high volumes of dry grain quickly. Available in contractor/mobile, electric industrial and grain treatment configurations, the 1240 supports continuous on-farm, mobile and industrial operations.
Key benefits - Uses at least 50% less electricity than typical hammer mills due to a one-pass grinding system.
- No screen changes required: roll-gap adjustment provides instant grist changes from coarse to fine.
- Minimal heat generation: processed grain remains cool, reducing thermal damage to the product.
- Reduced dust generation compared with multi-pass systems, lowering hazardous fine particles and improving safety.
Performance and capability - Example output: 13.0 t/h barley at 12% moisture producing a finely ground sample (~0.8 μm or less).
- Example output: 22.0 t/h barley at 12% moisture producing a coarsely ground sample (~1.2 μm).
- Industrial configurations cover approximately 8–20 t/h and can be set up to grind, crimp or roll to specified particle sizes.
Design & construction highlights - Fluted solid chilled rolls (1200 x 400 mm) for consistent, long-life performance.
- Heavy-duty components and double-row spherical bearings housed in robust plummer blocks.
- One-touch operator controls for straightforward adjustment and operation.
- Can integrate with rubble separators, magnet tables, pin feeders, augers, conveyors and treatment or bagging systems.
Applications Targeted at contractors, large arable farmers and feed compounders requiring a reliable, efficient, low-maintenance high-capacity roller mill for continuous industrial or mobile use.
