Abstract
The device for continuous mechanical shaping of a particulate material includes a housing; a pressing roll pair forming a pressing space and enclosed in the housing; a rotating element which can be a size reduction roll or a rotor with screen insert arranged below the pressing roll pair; a mechanism for displacing the pressing roll pair together with the rotating element relative to the housing and perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rolls and a mechanism for adjustably spacing the pressing roll pair and the rotating element relative to each other and perpendicular to the rotation axis. The pressing roll pair is advantageously tiltable between 0 and 90 degrees to the horizontal. The rolls are advantageously provided with milled grooves arranged so as to be parallel and extend at an angle of from 0 to 90 degrees to an axis of rotation.
