Abstract
A tearing mill for comminuting fruits is equipped with a rotatably supported plate having tearing elements And with a stuffing device with a feed screw for delivering the fruits to the plate. A gap of adjustable width exists between the stuffing device and the plate. By means of an independent control of the gap and the rotational speed of the feed screw and plate, a mash structure of the comminuted fruits is achieved which is well adapted to the type of fruits and to subsequent processing of the mash.
