Patent ID: 7044435

Claim:
A system for influencing the rheological properties of a conveyable material, wherein the system is or can be allocated to a machine for machining or processing the conveyable material, in which the conveyable material is transported along a conveying direction the system comprising: a) at least one controllable impact system for generating and introducing mechanical oscillations in the material in at least one machining section of the machine, along with b) at least one acquisition system for acquiring the rheological properties of the material; wherein c) the acquired rheological properties are used as the basis for actuating the impact system for generating and introducing the mechanical oscillations, d) the acquisition system has a first means for determining the velocity field transverse to the conveying direction in an area of the material, and a second means for determining the pressure difference along the conveying direction in the area and/or at the edge of the area of the material.
