A sizer tooth assembly for a mineral sizer is described. The tooth assembly includes a horn protrusion extending from a rotatable support, the horn protrusion having a pair of opposed front and rear faces; and a shell structure encapsulating the horn protrusion and defining the outer shape of the sizer tooth; wherein the shell structure comprises exactly two cover formations which are non-releasably secured to one another but not to the horn protrusion, to define when so secured a unitary tooth assembly. Each of the two cover formations seats upon and presents an inward engagement face to a respective one of the pair of opposed front and rear faces of the horn protrusion; and each such engagement face of a cover formation and its corresponding face of the horn protrusion are provided with a complementary arrangement of projections and recesses configured such that when the two cover formations are non-releasably secured to one another the shell structure is releasably connected upon the horn protrusion. A mineral sizer including such tooth assemblies and a method of constructing such a tooth assembly and especially of constructing a replacement for repair are also described.

To produce flour and/or semolina, raw material is fed into a feed opening of a roller press. The milling gap of the roller press is fixed, or damping of at least one of the rollers with respect to the lateral deflection is set, such that a first subset of the fill containing finer milling material forms a packed particle fill in the milling gap. In addition, the setting is carried out in such a way that individual particles of a second subset of the fill containing coarser milling material are in contact with the first roller and the second roller of the roller press. Subsequently, the bulk material is milled into milled product in the roller press (9) and the milled product is discharged through a discharge opening.

A crushing machine for a vegetable food product frozen in blocks, or in IQF form. The machine includes a box-like body containing defining a crushing chamber. The box-like body has an inlet port, through which the frozen food product is put in the crushing chamber and an outlet port through which a frozen crushed product is discharged from the crushing chamber. In the crushing chamber a crushing unit is mounted comprising a plurality of crushing rollers, for example three crushing rollers. Each crushing roller is arranged to rotate about a respective rotation axis and is having peripherally a plurality of teeth arranged to cut the frozen product into blocks, or IQF form, for splitting it into the above described fragments of predetermined size. In particular, the rotation axes of the crushing rollers are parallel to each other.

The invention relates to a dual-roller crusher (1) with rollers (2, 3) rotatably mounted in a crusher housing and are driven by a motor so as to counter-rotate synchronously about respective parallel center axes, crusher teeth (6, 7) being mounted on the outer surfaces of the rollers (2, 3), every crusher tooth (6, 7) of a roller (2, 3) of the pair of rollers being fittable into a respective pocket (8, 9) in the outer surface of the other roller (2, 3) of the pair of rollers such that, during rotation of the rollers (2, 3), each crusher tooth (6, 7) engages in the respective pocket (8, 9).

Crop processing rolls are provided for operative use in forage harvesters wherein the crop processing rolls are formed with spiraled grooves that are oriented in opposing slopes extending from the opposite ends of the crop processing roll toward the center of the roll. The formation of these spiraled grooves defines teeth from the ridges created with the formation of vertical grooves into the circumferential surface of the crop processing roll. In one configuration, the spiraled grooves meet at the center of the crop processing roll in a V-shaped intersection to provide a chevron shape to the spiraled grooves. In a second configuration, the spiraled grooves do not intersect at the center and form a semi-chevron pattern that does not form a short tooth that the chevron configuration creates at the V-shaped intersection.
