Abstract:
A sugar mill utilizing an arrangement of rolls journalled between a pair of frame members, having a driven anvil roll as the lowermost roll. An adjustment cane roll is disposed between the frame members above the anvil roll. Intermediate and to one side of the cane and anvil rolls is a crusher/feed roll, and to the other side of the cane and anvil rolls there is a bagasse roll. The three uppermost rolls are adjustable with respect to one another, the side rolls may each be mounted in an eccentric or screw adjustable bearing support arrangement. A generally vertically disposed chute drops chopped sugar cane between the feed and cane rolls to permit gravity to aid in feeding of the chopped cane to the sugar mill. This arrangement of the rolls permits a higher sugar mill output per revolution of the rolls, than that of the prior art.
