Roller mill

In a roller mill having a frame, a fixed roller mounted on said frame, a floating roller mounted on said frame for movements toward and away from said fixed roller, means for urging said floating roller into engagement with said fixed roller under high contact pressure, drive gearing contained in casings and coupled to the respective rollers for driving said rollers in opposite directions, and means for absorbing torque occuring between said gearing and said frame, the improvement wherein said torque absorbing means comprises first support means directly connecting said casings to one another for taking up contrarotating principal torque, and second support means connecting one of said casings to said frame for taking up differential torque, said first support means having a flexible member for accommodating relative movement between said rollers.
