The exemplary embodiments herein provide a roller grain mill assembly having a lower frame, a plurality of roller grain mills attached to the lower frame, an upper frame extending upwardly from the lower frame, a single electric drive mechanically coupled to each of the roller grain mills, and a cyclone separator placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mills and located above the electric drive. In some embodiments, a centrifugal scatterer may be suspended from the upper frame and placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mill. In other embodiments, a cyclone separator may be placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mill and centrifugal scatterer. An electric drive coupled to each roller grain mill may be cantilevered off the lower frame.

A system may comprise a frame, a pair of rolls with each of the rolls comprising a roll body having opposite ends and a circumferential surface, a plurality of teeth being formed on the circumferential surface, and at least a portion of the circumferential surface being electrically conductive. The roll may also have a roll shaft having end portions extending from the roll body, with each of the end portions extending from one of the ends of the roll body. The system may also comprise roll supports configured to support the rolls on the frame in a manner such that at least one of the rolls is movable to adjust a separation gap between the rolls, a detection apparatus configured to detect contact between the rolls, and a signaling apparatus configured to produce a signal indicating a change in electrical potential is detected by the detection apparatus.

The present invention relates to a roll frame, comprising a product inlet, a grinding chamber with grinding rolls, into which grinding chamber bulk material to be ground can pass from the product inlet, and a product outlet unit which is arranged below the grinding chamber and into which product from the grinding chamber can pass, wherein the product outlet unit comprises a hopper which has a conveying worm in its lower region which is remote from the grinding chamber, wherein the conveying worm has two portions which convey in opposite directions, in order to convey product out of the lower region of the hopper to an outlet opening in the bottom region of the hopper.

Automated grinder systems include several different automatic functions including liquid and substrate soaking, mixing, grinding, fermenting, and cleaning. Example grinders include storages for soaking and draining a substrate for grinding, a water or other fluid reservoir connected to provide soaking material, and a grinder connected to the storage to receive and grind the substrate. A resting unit may receive the ground batter and potentially ferment the same by controlling its temperature, humidity, pH, etc. Jets may be connected to a water reservoir and direct liquid water into the grinder, potentially with soap, to cleanse the same.

A particulate sizer includes an infeed for receiving a plurality of particulates, a first roller, and a second roller. The first and second rollers break down the plurality of particulates as the plurality of particulates passes through a gap between the first and second rollers. The width of the gap varies along a length of the first and second rollers. Accordingly, the first and second rollers compress some particulates to a first size and compress other particulates to a second smaller size. In addition, each of the first and second rollers has a textured outer surface for carrying the plurality of particulates through the gap.

A product processing installation and corresponding method for the grinding and/or crushing of granular fruits or the like. There is a self-adaptive regulation and control method and corresponding regulation and control device for the self-optimised control of a mill installation and a grinding line of a roller system of the mill installation. The grinding line include a plurality of processing units, which, based on operational process parameters, can each individually be controlled and individually regulated in their operation by means of the regulation and control device. A batch control with a defined processing sequence in the processing units can be regulated by an operational process recipe, wherein a defined amount of a final product can be produced from one or more input materials by means of the operational process recipe. The processing units are controlled based on specific operational batch process parameters assigned to the operational process recipe.

A canola seed sample crusher features a frame, and a drum rotatably carried on the frame and having an array of seed pockets on an outer periphery thereof. The seed pockets are sized and shaped to receive individual canola seeds respectively therein. A pathway is arranged to receive a length of adhesive tape and guide the tape over the seed pockets in the outer periphery of the drum during rotation thereof to adhesively collect the sample of canola seeds from the seed pockets onto the adhesive tape. A crushing mechanism is carried on the frame and operatively installed at a position along the pathway to crush the sample of canola seeds collected on the adhesive tape during passage of the tap tape through the crushing mechanism.
