Roll Mill
- Pair of smooth metal rolls set in the same horizontal plane, mounted on a heavy structure
- Provided with an arrangement for adjusting the distance between the rolls and regulating the pressure
- To increase the shearing action, the rolls are usually operated at different speeds
- Two roll mills are used primarily for preparing color pastes for inks, paints, and coatings.
- Rubber products and pastes are compounded in batch roll mills as they provide extremely high localized shear.
- Continuous mills for mixing pastes contain three to five horizontal rolls.
