Features:
- The amazing Cormall plate mill is able to mill virtually any product, from oily products such as peanuts for peanut butter, spices, coffee, grain such as sorghum, maize, wheat, rye, cassava. Also products like sugar, salt, beans etc. can be efficiently milled.
- Maintenance and running cost is extremely low – a set of plates, which can be used both sides, can last up to 12 months with low replacement cost.
- Power requirements is low 4 kW or 5.5 kW motors are used for grain milling capacity up to 600kg/hour.
- The mill can work off a diesel or petrol driven engine.
- Capital outlay for acquisition is low.
- The fineness of coarseness of milling can easily be adjusted.
- The mill can optionally easily be fitted with stones instead of plate to provide a very fine grind such as for chillies, paprika and other spices.
- With open plates, the mill can be used to de-hull sunflower and similar seeds.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: GAS ROASTER
The gas roaster manufactured by ABC Hansen is made of heavy gauge mild steel coated with a heat resistant Edge Primer.
The principle of operation is a solid steel plate heated by four cast iron gas burners. Nuts are introduced into the hopper and feeds through gravity onto the plate. Scrapers rotate through a 0.18kW geared motor.
Approximately 25kg of nuts should be introduced per batch. When pre-heated,
the nuts will roast in approximately 4-7 minutes after which it should be
discharged by pulling the front discharge plate to one side and allowing the
nuts to drop into a container through the outlet chute. The outlet chute has a
slide to allow all nuts to be discharged into the container at once.
Care should be taken not to over roast the nuts. When discharged into a
container, the nuts will still roast through its inherent heat and will turn
creamy. The length of time the nuts should be allowed to roast in a container
would depend on the heat of the roaster. Usually around 30 minutes is
sufficient. Nuts should be spread out and left to cool to avoid over roasting.
This technique will be easily mastered after the first few batches.
The roasting of the nuts should precede de-skinning and milling by some hours, preferably nuts roasted yesterday should be de-skinned and milled only today.
Gas can be dangerous. Always ensure that gas is turned off at main supply when closing the system down. Always ensure that gas main supply has been turned off before lighting the burners. Always ensure the gas regulators at the roaster has been turned off before opening the main supply.
When starting, open the gas main supply, then get the lighter ready and lastly open the burner regulators and light the burners rapidly. The burners should be the lit through the side openings. Ensure the burners are lit before leaving the roaster.
The gas supply to the burners can be adjusted through the regulators at the feed to the burners. Open or close this as more or less heat is required.
Normally, about 30 minutes is required to heat up the drum sufficiently for full capacity production. After 15 minutes the first batch may be roasted. This first batch would obviously take longer to roast than subsequent batches. It should be possible to roast at least 5 x 25kg batches per hour when the drum is heated.
- Do not over load the drum.
- Never touch the outside of the roaster when heated.
- Very high temperatures may be obtained.
- Do not over heat the roaster.
- ALWAYS INSTALL AN OVERLOAD AND CONTACTOR TO A 380V ELECTRIC MOTOR AND ENSURE THE OVERLOAD PROTECTION IS SET TO THE CORRECT AMPS. THE OVERLOAD ON A 0.18KW MOTOR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0.36 AMPS. THE OVERLOAD ON A 0.75KW SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.5 AMPS. THE OVERLOAD SETTING FOR A 5.5KW MOTOR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 11 AMPS.
- Grease bearings on the roaster with special heat resistant grease. All bearings are pre-greased in our factory but should be greased at least once a week on all machines.
- Avoid exposing any body parts directly below bottom slide where the burner are lit.
- Light the burners inside the body of the roaster and NOT after the copper burner regulators.
- Ensure the gas regulator fitting the main gas supply is in operating condition.
- ALWAYS ENSURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT FRESH AIR IN THE AREA WHERE THE GAS ROASTER OPERATES. WITH A LACK OF OXYGEN THE GAS FLAMES MAY DIE DOWN AND GAS MAY ESCAPE, TURNING AN ENCLOSED ROOM INTO A BOMB. GAS IS DANGEROUS IF NOT TREATED WITH RESPECT.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: ELECTRIC ROASTER
The electric roaster manufactured by ABC Hansen is made of heavy gauge mild steel drum coated with galvanized plate and isolated with fibreglass.
The principle of operation is a solid tube revolving around black electric elements providing heat from the center and heating up the drum. The heat from the drum as well as that from the elements then roast the peanuts. Nuts are introduced into the drum via a chute hopper and feeds through the drum to the end where it is discharged roasted. A geared motor rotates the drum. The angle of the drum can be set to allow the nuts to remain shorter or longer in the drum. The length of time that the nuts should remain in the drum is determined on a trial and error basis while the capacity would match at least that of the rest of the plant ie 120kg per hour. The nuts can be introduced on a continuous basis. The heat can be set from a control panel which has a thermostat. The roaster should be preheated for around 30 minutes before feeding nuts into the drum.
After roasting, the nuts would be discharged by dropping into a container through the outlet chute.
Care should be taken not to over roast the nuts. When discharged into a container, the nuts will still roast through its inherent heat and will turn creamy. The length of time the nuts should be allowed to roast in a container would depend on the heat of the roaster. Usually around 30 minutes is sufficient. Nuts should be spread out and left to cool to avoid over roasting. This technique will be easily mastered after the first few batches.
The roasting of the nuts should precede de-skinning and milling by some hours, preferably nuts roasted yesterday should be de-skinned and milled only today.
- Do not over load the drum.
- Never touch the outside of the roaster when heated.
- Very high temperatures may be obtained.
- Do not over heat the roaster.
- ALWAYS INSTALL AN OVERLOAD AND CONTACTOR TO A 380V ELECTRIC MOTOR AND ENSURE THE OVERLOAD PROTECTION IS SET TO THE CORRECT AMPS. THE OVERLOAD ON A 0.75KW MOTOR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.5 AMPS. THE OVERLOAD SETTING FOR A 5.5KW MOTOR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 11 AMPS.
- Avoid exposing any body parts directlyagainst the front or back of the roaster. The middle tube where isolated would be relatively cool..
- Ensure not loose clothes are worn when working with revolving electric machines. Keep jands away from gear, chains and bushes.
- Ensure the power supply is turned off before leaving the machine alone after a shift.
Electricity is expensive to heat the roaster up. Once heated, try to run the machine for a full shift or even two, roasting sufficient nuts for several days if possible.
