Scope and Contents

In the background is a ball mill, a rotating steel tank lined with heavy steel plates and containing steel balls which ground the crushed ore to fine sand size. In front of the ball mill is a drag classifier that separated the sand from the water and slimes by dragging the sand up a ramp. The objects with round openings in the foreground are spare bearing caps for the roll crushers.
