  • Each rotary element has a longitudinal dimension in the direction of its respective axis at least equal to its largest transverse dimension.
  • these rotary elements can be staggered.
  • the planes of the same double row can be subdivided into a first and a second group, in particular equal, all the planes of the same group being parallel to each other, two planes, each of a different group, being symmetrical l ' one of the other with respect to a plane orthogonal to the plane P of reference.
  • the S planes of the two groups can be arranged so that an S plane of the first group follows an S plane of the second group alternately.
  • Means for adjusting the beta obliquity angle of the axes of the rotary elements can be provided.
  • the rotary elements of elongated shape, have ends opposite those close to the skin which form an outlet opening which is significantly narrower than the inlet opening.
  • the outlet opening can be between 1 mm and 50 mm, and a device for varying the opening output can be expected. Two rotating elements cooperating together thus form a sort of bottleneck for the skin between them.

It will be noted that points 12 and 13 are each located on the circular end of each roll 2, 3, the further from the point 10 of intersection of the extension of axes 4 and 5.

  • the beta obliquity angle 4 of the apparatus of FIG. 5 is equal to the beta obliquity angle 3 of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
  • the angles of inclination alpha are not shown but for reasons of symmetry, they are equal.
