On the design fig. 34 we see a machine of more modern construction
ready mounted. The receptacle parts of the same are arranged and
connected in full agreement with the above mentioned except that the
motion is effected by the driving power fitted to the machine on the
ground on the left side.
[Illustration: Fig. 40.]
The principle of this roller machine has long been applied in the
building of other types, and we find that these, variously altered,
renovated and improved, are to-day an indispensable equipment in every
chocolate factory. In the following pages we give a description of some
of the best-known constructions of refiner.
The so called battery rolling mills constitute a remarkable innovation.
It is apparent that the more rollers a cylinder machine contains,
and the greater their length and diameter, all the more efficacious
will the working of the machine be. Batteries have accordingly been
constructed, whereby two, three or more roller systems are combined,
one to every three rollers, and rising one above the other, so that
they slant upwards much as shown in Fig. 40.
As the battery rolling mills possessed the disadvantages that they took
up too much room and could not be well fed and regulated, they are
generally replaced by rolling machines of from 6 to 9 rollers, first
constructed by J. M. Lehmann. These rolling machines of 6 to 9 rollers
which we see before us in Figs. 35 and 36 are really systems of 3
rollers fitted one over the other. They therefore take up the room of a
3-roller machine and are quite as easy to work.
[Illustration: Fig. 41 a.]
As will be seen from the design of a nine-roller apparatus, fig. 37,
the chocolate mass descends from one roller system to the other, and
is fine rolled in a third of the time otherwise required, and at
one operation, with corresponding saving of labour. The nine roller
apparatus are provided with landing stage and steps, and fed either by
means of elevators, or from above.
Fig. 38 shows a recent construction, three roller apparatus (case
castings, cf. below) standing vertically, which accordingly takes
up little room. The hopper is low-lying, whilst the discharging
is effected from the upper roller, and accordingly admits of the
occasional use of a somewhat larger size of transport trolley. This
type also occurs with 6-9-12 rollers, as apparent from fig. 39.
