Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Questions
Does the dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system require special infrastructure for installation?
The infrastructure found in standard mill facilities is sufficient for the installation of our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system. A floor that can carry the total weight of the system, standard electrical connections, and compressed air supply are basic requirements. If integration is to be made into an existing facility, minor modifications may be required for transport system connections. Before installation, our technical team will evaluate your facility’s infrastructure and inform you about necessary preparations.
What is the capacity difference between dual-layer pneumatic roller mill and single rollers?
Our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system offers performance equivalent to the total capacity of two single rollers with the same roller length. For example, a 1000 mm long dual-layer roller system can perform the work of two 1000 mm long single rollers with a single machine footprint. What’s important in this comparison is the space savings achieved without compromising capacity. Additionally, energy efficiency increases thanks to the use of a single control unit and fewer auxiliary equipment.
What kind of adjustment process is required when switching between different grain types?
When switching between different grain types, roller settings for both floors, pneumatic pressure values, and feeding speed need to be changed. Thanks to our modern control panel, these transitions can be made quickly using pre-recorded recipes. A typical wheat to corn transition process takes approximately 30-45 minutes including cleaning. Using appropriate roller surface patterns for each grain type is recommended; if roller change is required, this time may extend.
How long does it take to change roller cylinders and does this process require special equipment?
Changing roller cylinders in our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system takes an average of 2-3 hours. Thanks to the special quick access mechanisms in our design, this time is very close to the change time in single rollers. Standard lifting equipment (crane or hoist) and basic mechanical tools are sufficient for the process. The roller change kit provided with the system includes special apparatus and detailed instructions. A trained maintenance personnel can easily perform this operation.
Maintenance and Spare Parts Questions
What are the regular maintenance requirements and how often should they be performed?
The recommended maintenance program for our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system is as follows:

- Belt set
- Roller surface cleaning equipment
These basic spares will help you keep production interruption to a minimum in possible emergency situations.
How often should roller surfaces be renewed?
Roller surface renewal time varies depending on the type of grain processed, daily working hours, and grinding fineness. On average, in intensive use (20+ hours per day) 8-12 months, in normal use (8-16 hours per day) 12-18 months, control and renewal of roller surfaces if necessary is recommended. Roller surface renewal service is provided by our expert team and roller cylinders need to be sent to Tanış A.Ş. workshops for this process.
Does the pneumatic control system need calibration?
Yes, annual calibration is recommended for optimum performance of the pneumatic control system. This process is necessary to ensure that pressure sensors, valve systems, and pressure regulators are working correctly. Calibration service is provided free of charge within the scope of your service agreement. The process usually takes 2-3 hours and affects production minimally.
Capacity and Efficiency Questions
What is the effect of the dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system on efficiency rates?
Our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system positively affects efficiency rates thanks to the gradual grinding principle. Compared to traditional single roller systems, flour with lower ash content can be obtained at the same extraction rate. In wheat grinding, while the system typically operates at 78-82% extraction rate, it can reduce the amount of flour passing to bran by 1.5-2%. This provides significant economic gain on an annual basis.
Can the roller systems on two floors be used simultaneously for different grain types?
While technically possible, processing the same grain type is recommended for efficiency and product quality. However, in special cases, various product types can be obtained by using different grinding finenesses or different roller surface patterns on two floors. For such special applications, we recommend consulting with our technical team. The system can be adapted to such flexible uses when necessary modifications are made.
Compatibility and Integration Questions
Is the dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system compatible with other brand mill equipment?
Yes, our dual-layer pneumatic roller mill system is designed to work compatibly with most brand mill equipment using standard industrial connection points and interfaces. Adapter parts and special connection elements that may be needed during integration are included in the installation package. Connection to your existing automation systems can also be provided via standard communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP).
How long does the integration process to an existing mill line take?
The integration process to a medium-scale mill line takes an average of 5-7 days including planning and preparation stages. Approximately 2-3 days of this time is allocated to active assembly and connection operations, and 1-2 days to commissioning and test work. With good planning, it is possible to limit production interruption to 48 hours in this process. Our expert assembly team prepares an installation plan to provide maximum efficiency with minimum interruption.
