Abstract
Feeder module for use in a roller mill. The roller mill has a housing having an inlet adapted to receive a product to be milled and an outlet adapted to output the milled product. The roller mill further has at least one pair of milling rollers disposed in the housing between the inlet and the outlet, the rollers being adapted to mill the product. The feeder module has a frame and a distribution and feed device. The distribution and feed device is adapted to accommodate the product from the inlet, and is further adapted to distribute the product over the length of the milling rollers, and is still further adapted to feed the distributed product onto the milling roller. The feeder module is adapted to be pivoted in the housing between a working position and an open position, and when in the working position, the distribution and feed device is positioned between the inlet and the milling rollers, and when in the open position, access to at least the distribution and feed device is provided. Also provided is a method of milling products using a feeder module in a roller mill.
