Flow of Granular Material through Rotating Cylinders: …

Granular material, fed continuously into the top of a slowly rotating, slightly inclined cylinder, forms a moving bed. Much of the bed rotates with the cylinder in solid body motion. When particles reach the surface of the bed, they move rapidly down it, and are absorbed once more into the solid body motion. Such cylinders are used in …

$begingroup$ @Bernhard The axis of the cylinder is the dot in the middle of the picture (in the direction out of the page). The cylinder rotates on that axis. No translations, just rotational motion, something like a hamster on a wheel, only this time the hamster is stationary on a certain point in the inside of the wheel, and the wheel rotates with a …

Study on the Polishing Characteristics of the Rotating Cylinder …

In addition, a higher speed of the rotating cylinder led to a higher material removal rate. The rotating cylinder, driven by a servo motor with 1200 rpm, was the highest speed used for polishing the workpiece surface. After 6 min, the material removal reached a saturation point and the surface roughness did not change further.
