Rollenstuhlmischer
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacture of Granule Raw Materials
In a list of various machines in a production plant: "Rollenstuhlmischer zweiachsig mit Kardan-Antrieb". Additional information is that it is a "Faßmischer" (barrel mixer) and is used for making raw material mixtures.
There is one entry for "Rollenstuhl" in the ProZ glossary, but I'm not sure whether pulleys would be involved with this or not.
The "Mischer" part is obviously pretty straightforward, so it is the "Rollenstuhl" bit that I really need help with. TIA for your assistance.

Series of rollers to grind pigments and pastes , normally having adjustable gaps.Used in the plastics and paint industry.By the way your rotating drum mixer is also known as a tumbler , for blending powders.Maybe you can tell from the context what's what.

Comment: "I think "roller mill" is probably closest to the mark. In another part of the text, the device (and it is clearly the same thing being referred to) is called a "Rollenmischer", which is "roller mixer". However, a "roller mixer" can also be a "mill". So I'm rather more certain about it now. Thanks to everyone for your help."

movable mixer
Just a proposition. Perhaps in this case the "Rollenstuhl" is not part of a conveyor system but simply some fixture on wheels on which the mixer is mounted.

I think that having a rotating drum is a general feature of mixers and has nothing to do with whether they are stationary or movable. In my interpretation the component \"Rollenstuhl\" points to a movable device. And wouldn\'t \"rotating drum mixer\" be rather synonymous with \"barrel mixer\"?

Discussion
It would be great to get this one into the ProZ glossary and resolve it once and for all.
