Abstract: A drum cutting machine has a rotary drum and has a plurality of blades arranged along the contour of the rotary drum. The lateral surface of the rotary drum is provided with a multiplicity of holes. A supporting part matches the contour of the rotary drum and has for each of the blades a bearing point that defines the position of the cutting edge. A blade box for such a machine makes it easier to move the blades into the correct position, thereby reducing the complexity in terms of maintenance.

Abstract: Machine for milling cereals, in particular rice, in an annular space (11) which has a vertical axis and is bounded on the outside by an outer casing (4), containing through-passages, and on the inside by a rotor (8), coaxial with respect to the same, and to which the milling material is fed by means of a positively driven conveyor (21). In order to increase the machine capacity along with the material being treated more gently, the outer casing (4) and the rotor (8) are frustoconical, the material is fed at the top, narrower end of the annular space (11), and the bottom end of the latter is provided with a compliant closure element (32).
