Procédé de contrôle d'un processus dans lequel la taille de la particule d'un matériau est réduite, machine pour réduire la taille de la particule d'un matériau et procédé d'étalonnage d'une telle machine
In a method of controlling a process in which the particle size of a material is reduced by passing the material through a nip between rollers (18, 20) at least one operational figure, such as the motor current, of at least one motor associated with at least one roller (18, 20) is continuously measured and the nip (16) is adjusted by controlling the operational figure so as to match a target operational figure. A machine for reducing the particle size of a material by passing the material through a nip (16) between rollers (18, 20) has a device for measuring at least one operational figure, such as the motor current, of at least one motor associated with at least one roller (18, 20) and a device (22) for adjusting the nip on the basis of the measured operational figure matching a target operational figure. A method of calibrating a machine for reducing the particle size of a material by passing the material through a nip between the rollers (18, 20) has the step of measuring at least one operational figure, such as the motor current, associated with a desired particle size and/or mass consistency and the step of setting the operational figure associated with a desired particle size and/or mass consistency as a target operational figure.
