a belt flaker is an industrial machine used to convert viscous or semi-solid materials into flat flakes by spreading them on a moving conveyor belt. This equipment is vital in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, where transforming material into a flake form enhances handling, storage, and subsequent processing. The belt flaker operates by subjecting the material to controlled temperatures and pressures as it moves along the conveyor, leading to solidification or crystallization and producing uniform flakes for further use or packaging.
