Abstract

The two feed rolls of a roll refiner comprising at least four rolls for processing viscous materials, such as chocolate masses, are regulated with respect to their rotational speeds by means of a suitable regulating system. The two feed rolls rotate in a fixed speed ratio to each other at speeds determined by the prevailing operating conditions. The particle size and/or the output quantity of the processed material may be held constant by this regulation.
