Pellet & Crumbles Screener/Sifter
“We have a total of nine EBM Gentle Roll Cleaner/Sifters, and we have run them continually with no problems for years. They are very easy to work on, one person can change screens, and or adjust the units without issues. I would recommend a Gentle Roll to anybody.”

Custom Pellet Screener for sacking system
Sometimes there is not a standard Gentle Roll model that will work for a customer. When that happens, we can customize the Gentle Roll to accomodate this problem. In this case, Farmers & Ranchers Coop in Ainsworth, NE had some space issues. The unit pictured, now installed above their new sacking system, is fed from a hopper bottom bin. Then pellets or range cubes are screened in the Gentle Roll. Then the screener discharges the pellets or range cubes from the "overs hopper" into a hopper above the sacker, while the fines are discharged through the hopper under the screeners main screen section. We designed a long feeder inlet to convey the material as well as meter it to the screener so they maximize screening and sacking efficiency. The sideframes were extended to mount on top of the hopper and the motor and drive were mounted on the inlet end of the machine for easy access. Customizations like this are what make the Gentle Roll the most versitile screener available.
Testimonial
Bill Worden, Mill Manager for Farmers & Ranchers, states: "We put our first Gentle Roll in (service) in 1994, it is still working with very little maintenance. We have not replaced the screens, they are still in very good condition. Since 1994 we have added three more to our pelleting and sacking system. They are quiet and smooth running. We are very happy with the quality and service of EBM's product.
Cleaning Grain before Steam Flaking
Steam Flaking corn or milo has proved to be the superior means of production for cattle feed. Cleaning grain prior to the steam flaking process is one of the most improtant steps to ensuring you are getting the most out of your investment. By removing the foreign material like fines, dirt, rocks, cobs, and stalks, production efficiency is increased and the quality of the finished product is improved, thus boosting conversion rates and feed efficiency. Foreign material can cause energy waste in the cooking process as well as cause the rolls to gum with fines or roll damage from rocks thus comprimising the integrity of the flakes and ultimately reduce feed conversion and feed efficiency. The Gentle Roll has been the cattle feeders choice for cleaning grain prior to steam flaking. With low maintenance, longevity, high screening efficiency and smooth operation, the Gentle Roll protects your investment while improving feed quality. Doug Althouse from Midwest Feeders explains: "Our flaking mills were able to run 15-20% more volume after the Gentle Roll was installed and the first set of screens handled 10 million bushels before being replaced". Midwest Feeders has a Gentle Roll 24-4-HBC that runs corn at 1500 BPH.
