Abstract: A kneading and granulating machine comprises: a container containing a material to be kneaded; a kneading member, which moves along the inner wall surface of the container and revolves and spins at the same time within the container; and a crushing blade, which revolves and spins at the same time within the container to shear the material to be kneaded in the container. The kneading member comprises a blade having a shape corresponding to the inner wall surface of the container, which enables kneading the material to be kneaded between itself and the inner wall surface of the container.

Abstract: The invention concerns a pendular grinding apparatus comprising an inner vertical wall (1) rotating about a main vertical axis (2) and forming a runway (3) for grinding, a support (4) coaxially arranged above the runway (3) and designed to be driven in rotation about the main axis, at least two grinding rollers (8) comprising each a rotating surface (9) about an axis of rotation (10) suspended to the support (4) and arranged such that the rotating surface (9) of each roller should run against the runway or against the material to be ground between the roller and said runway (3), a pressing action of each roller (8) on said runway or on said material to be ground supplied between them resulting from a centrifugal force (Fc) of each roller driven in rotation by the support, the grinding apparatus comprising means (12) designed to combine with the centrifugal force (Fc) of each roller an adjustable force and said combining means (12) being supported therefor on a common central element (14) which can be either f

Abstract: A skew rolling mill is equipped with a plurality of skew or inclined rollers each of which is constructed of a number of roller segments (1', 2) which are interconnected in a form-locking, force transmitting manner. These roller segments are so related to one another that different roller segments may be assembled to form a plurality of different skew rollers which differ from one another with regard to their calibration and purpose. Thus, different roller segments may have different structural features and they may be made of different materials. Such variability obviates the need for keeping complete sets of skew rollers in stock for each size or calibration.
