In addition to the electric and hand-cranked grinders and mills of Schnitzer, the company also offers an excellent flaker that is housed in a beech wood casing finished with linseed oil giving it a nice sheen. This is great for preparing porridge or muesli.
For the rollers, you have a choice of either stainless steel or stone. Stainless steel rollers are perfect for rolling oats, rye, wheat, spelt, buckwheat, barley, and other grains sized like wheat or smaller. They can also grind oily seeds as well as coarse salt. The stone rollers, on the other hand, are intended to flake oats and other soft dry grains. These are constructed of natural Naxos Basalt in magnesite.
The Campo Flaker uses two parallel rollers, whether stainless steel or stone, that rotate opposite to each other. The rollers are infinitely adjustable so your flakes can be as fine or coarse as you want. By turning the adjustment knob in, your flakes can be flat-pressed. Turning them outward rolls the grain. It also has a mechanism that equalizes the rollers’ speeds thus preventing grinding.
Flaker output varies depending on your crank speed and roller adjustment but on average, with about 80 rotations of the crank, it can fully process all of the 110 g of grain that the hopper can hold in about one minute.
Five rubber feet and a table or counter mounting clamp support the Schnitzer Campo Flaker preventing it from moving around when flaking.
With its handle, the flaker stands 250 mm tall with a width of 120 mm and depth of 180 mm. It weighs 2 kg.
