Abstract
The present invention relates to a method to grind mass in a grinder () wherein the mass is provided to the grinder () via a hopper () and transported by a feeder worm () to a rotating processing worm () which conveys the mass towards a cutting set () which grinds the mass and wherein the feeder worm () initially rotates in a first direction. During production the feeder worm () is periodically reversed and/or the speed of rotation of the feeder worm () is reduced in case the volume between the feeder worm () and the processing worm () tends to get blocked with the mass.
