FEED DEVICE AND ROLLER FACILITY
A feed device for a roller facility for processing foodstuff includes a collection space into which processing material can be fed via an infeed. A feed roller serves for conveying processing material, which is present in the collection space, away out of the collection space. For this purpose the feed roller is arranged at the lower side on the collection space and is rotatable about an axis. The feed device above the feed roller includes a first conveying device for conveying the processing material in the collection space in the axial direction. A second conveying device is provided for conveying processing material which is conveyed by the first conveying device, in a direction which is different from the conveying direction of the first conveying device. By way of this, a particularly uniform distribution of the processing material along the axis of the feed roller is ensured.
