3 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply:
3.1
two roll mill
a machine with two counter-rotating cylinders (known as mill rolls) which are not covered, which may be
smooth or grooved, and whose axes are on substantially the same horizontal plane (see figure 1)
3.2
principal crushing zone
zone extending over the full length of the mill rolls indicated by V in figure 2

0
3.3
stopping angle
the following stopping angle definitions are related to two roll mills equipped with a mechanically actuated trip
device in the form of a bar (trip bar).
The stopping angle α is the angle through which the mill rolls rotate from the actuation of the trip bar until the
rolls have come to rest.
3.3.1
specified stopping angle αααα
0
The stopping angle specified by the machine manufacturer (see figure 2), related to the following conditions:
Machine unloaded;
Machine running at maximum speed.
3.3.2
Maximum stopping angle αααα
max
The upper limit value of the stopping angle
3.3.3
Measured stopping angles αααα
m
Stopping angles measured in order to compare with:
α under the conditions given in 3.3.1;
0
α under the same conditions and, in addition, power assisted braking (if existing) inoperative
max
(simulation of a power failure).
These measured braking angles are intended to verify the state of the braking system.
3.4
safety limit
this definition applies only to two roll mills equipped with a trip bar. The safety limit is the vertical plane
indicated by line S in figure 2 demarcating the zone which is unsafe for operators who can reach into it without
actuating the trip bar.

3.5
stock guide (also known as "ear")
a part which prevents material in process from going beyond the mill roll end (see figure 1, location 4)
3.6
strip cutting device
a device, equipped with rotating or stationary blades, to cut off strips of the material from a mill roll (see figure
1, location 5)
3.7
stock blender
equipment used to continuously recirculate the material in process to obtain a uniform mixing, distributing it
with a reciprocating motion along the length of the mill rolls (see figure 1, location 6).
3.8
mill tray
equipment for catching material which falls under the mill rolls (see figure 1, location 7)
3.9
recovery conveyor belt
equipment for recirculating material which falls under the mill rolls (see figure 3c)
3.10
retractable plough
equipment which can be moved towards the mill roll in order to cut and turn over the material, and which can
be retracted (see figure 3b).

These devices, designed for involuntary actuation by the hand, shall meet the following requirements:
They shall extend over the full length of the mill rolls;
Actuation shall stop the movement of the mill rolls, stopping time shall be smaller than access time (see
EN 1088:1995, 3.8 and 3.9);
Openings in these devices shall not allow access to the principal crushing zone (see EN 294:1992, table
