METHOD FOR OPERATING A DEVICE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE ROTATING SHAFT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a device (1) comprising at least one rotating shaft (5) which comprises functional elements (7) which act upon the material which is to be treated in the device (1). Said device (1) comprises a fill opening (15) and an outlet opening (9) having an adjustable lower edge (13) and the material is guided continuously through the device (1) from the fill opening (15) to the outlet opening (9). Said method consists of the following steps: a) measuring the charge data of at least one rotating shaft (5) in order to determine the shaft load, b) lowering the lower edge (13) of the outlet opening (9) and/or reducing the amount of material which is to be supplied, if the shaft load exceeds a predetermined maximum load, or upwardly shifting the lower edge (13) of the outlet opening (9) and/or increasing the amount of material which is to be supplied, if the shaft load is lower than a predetermined shaft load.
