La textura del chocolate es un factor esencial en su calidad. Por eso resultan muy
importantes el triturado y la molienda (triturado fino); es decir, el grano obtenido se
hace cada vez más pequeño. Para tal efecto, los granos descascarillados pasan por
una batería de rodillos muy unidos y, después, continúan siendo desmenuzados en
molinos especiales hasta obtenerse una masa fina de color pardo brillante llamada
pasta o licor de cacao.

set very close to each other
IMHO, "muy unidos" is a somewhat awkward formulation in Spanish when referring to inanimate objects.
Example sentence:
...go through a battery of rollers set very close to each other...

: Is that really good English? Of those hits, a large number appear to be by foreign authors. / OK, but it still sounds strange to my perhaps rather wonky ears!

I think these are pretty reliable: https://books.google.es/books?isbn=0122004000 and https://books.google.es/books?isbn=1593703139 Both are technical dictionaries by native speakers.
