Scikoon Completes Trial Run of 5,000 TPD Double Deck Cracker and Flaking Mill
Chinese oilseed processing equipment maker Scikoon has finished fabrication and successfully completed trial-run testing of a 5,000-tonne-per-day Double Deck Cracker and Flaking Mill, declaring the unit ready for delivery to large-scale oil processing projects.
Guangzhou Scikoon Industry Co., Ltd. announced on 20 September 2026 that it has completed fabrication and trial-run testing of a 5,000-tonne-per-day (TPD) Double Deck Cracker and Flaking Mill at its workshop in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. The company said the unit is now ready for delivery to large-scale oil processing projects.
According to the company, all performance indicators met design requirements during the trial. Scikoon stated the equipment "ran smoothly during testing, with all performance indicators meeting design requirements and ready for delivery."
Founded in 2003, Scikoon describes itself as specialising in the research, development, and manufacturing of oilseed pretreatment, feed processing, and related bulk material equipment. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification and EU CE certification, and carries designations as a National High-Tech Enterprise and a Guangdong Province Specialized and Sophisticated SME.
Scikoon's cracker series uses what the company describes as "premium chilled cast alloy Cracking Rolls and a precision roll gap adjustment system," with a four-roll upper-and-lower configuration intended to achieve two cracking actions in a single pass. Single-unit capacities in that series range from 400 to 1,500 TPD. The flaking mill employs a fully automatic hydraulic system for flake thickness control.
The company cited two recent international deployments as evidence of operational performance. It said Bolivia's first state-owned large-scale soybean processing plant commenced operations in 2025 with core pretreatment equipment — including flaking mills, crackers, and cleaning screens — supplied exclusively by Scikoon, and that "the equipment achieved 720 hours of continuous fault-free production in actual operation." In the same year, Scikoon said it supplied key equipment including conditioning towers, cleaning screens, crackers, and flaking mills to a 2,700 TPD soybean pretreatment workshop in Russia that completed startup testing.
Scikoon stated its equipment has been supplied to major domestic and international grain and oil groups, listing COFCO, Sinograin, Yihai Kerry, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus among its customers.
The announcement was distributed as a press release by ABNewswire and originates from Scikoon itself; independent verification of the trial-run results and customer claims was not available at the time of publication.
