Abstract
The object is that of providing a granular material processing apparatus ( ) capable of evenly applying energy such as the compressive force and shearing force of pressers ( ), due to centrifugal force, while maintaining good circulation conditions for the swirl flow of granular material within a casing ( ) wherein, even in cases where granular material for which it is difficult to control the flow thereof in the casing ( ) is processed, this is not allowed to accumulate in once place within the casing ( ), but is moved to the entire interior wall thereof. In the cylindrical region formed in accordance with the revolution of the pressers ( ) in the casing ( ), an empty region ( ) is formed wherein there is no extension of a shaft ( ) etc., allowing for the formation of a center of swirl flow of the granular material; the rotation of the casing ( ) and the rotation of a rotor ( ) can be rotationally controlled in the same direction at differing speeds; and the pressers ( ) are horizontally supported in a cantilevered manner on the rotor ( ).
