Evidently the setting of the trash turner is controlled by the quantityof cane or rather the quantity of fibre which has to be passed in a unit of increase in the quantity of fibre necessitates a deeper passage, unless anundue pressure is to be exerted by the bagasse. On the other hand, if thebagasse is not compressed to a certain limit, it will lack the cohesion andcompactness necessary to make it flow. In its passage over the bar, power is absorbed in friction, and this absorp-tion increases as the width of the trash turner increases, or as the apicalangle of the mill becomes flatter.
