From grain to feed

Protector Roll Feeder

The Ottevanger Protector Roll Feeder is installed before a roller mill to pre clean and distribute product evenly. It screens out coarse debris and removes ferrous particles with a drum magnet, using self cleaning screen strips for reliable separation. Contaminants are discharged by a shaftless screw, with a by pass valve for oversize recirculation and large hatches for quick inspection and cleaning.

  • Even, uniform feed distribution to the roller mill
  • Integrated drum magnet for ferrous removal
  • Self-cleaning screen with adjustable vibration amplitude

Performance & Applications

Overview

Key benefits

Discover the key benefits of the Protector Roll Feeder, designed to protect the roller mill and stabilise upstream product flow.

  • Protects the roller mill from uncontrolled wear and potential damage caused by metal fragments, stones and clods
  • Ensures an even spread of material across the screen and working width of the mill for consistent performance
  • High self-cleaning action of alternating stationary and vibrating strips keeps separation efficiency stable
  • Quick access through large, lightweight hatches simplifies cleaning and inspection
  • Debris is automatically collected and conveyed to a bin, reducing manual handling and downtime.


Available executions

All machines can be customised. The Protector Roll Feeder can be configured to match product characteristics, capacity and mill width.

  • Screens with various gap widths; vibration amplitude adjustable
  • Integrated drum magnet with timed release to vibrating plate
  • By-pass valve with three positions for capacity and oversize management
  • Shaftless screw conveyor for debris removal; optional external debris bin
  • Executions sized to suit single, double or triple roller-mill units (inferred from application scope; confirm during engineering)

FAQ

It removes coarse contaminants and ferrous metal before the roller mill, preventing uncontrolled wear or damage and reducing unplanned downtime.

A feeder roll spreads the product uniformly over a parallel-strip screen so material reaches the roller mill evenly across the working width.

A drum magnet captures ferrous particles; stones, clods and other oversized pieces are separated on the screen and discharged by a shaftless screw to a debris bin.

Yes. A three-position by-pass valve can redirect large particles back to the process flow while metal removal remains active.

Alternating stationary and vibrating screen strips provide high self-cleaning capacity, and large lightweight hatches offer easy access for inspection and cleaning.
