Abstract
A system for influencing the rheological properties of a transportable material, especially a free-flowing, pasty or bulk product is associated, or can be associated, with a machine for processing or treating the transportable material in which the transportable material is transported in a transport direction. The system includes at least one controllable operative system for producing mechanical oscillations and applying the same to the material in at least one processing section of the machine, and at least one detection system for detecting the rheological properties of the material. The detected rheological properties are used as a basis for controlling the operative system for producing the mechanical oscillations and applying the same.
