A grinding circuit comprises a grinding mill having a shaft in a grinding chamber, a cyclone for receiving circuit feed material and for feeding said circuit feed material further in the grinding circuit, and monitoring devices. The grinding mill process comprises pumping circuit feed material from a feed tank to the cyclone upstream of the mill, and pumping the circuit feed material forming slurry into the grinding mill for grinding the slurry into finer particles. The method of controlling the grinding mill process comprises monitoring at least one operational parameter, and controlling particle fineness online by adjusting at least one of the following operational parameters: flow rate of the circuit feed material, density of the circuit feed material, shaft speed, filling rate in the grinding mill, milling density and retention time.

An improved rubber composition and method to create the improved rubber composition is achieved by milling reduced graphene oxide (RGO) in liquid rubber to induce a reduction of bulk density of the reduced graphene oxide while maintaining dispersibility in rubber without using a solvent-based process resulting in an industrially scalable process and an improved rubber composition.

A vertical ball mill includes: a rotor, which is axially and radially supported at an upper end; a stator, which radially extends around the rotor, stands in a self-supporting manner and has a lateral surface that is oriented tangentially to the rotor; and a base plate supporting the weight of the stator. The stator includes least two stator segments, which may be separated from one another, stand unsupported in the separated state and may be moved relative to one another; wherein each of the stator segments has, on at least one side edge of a wall which forms the lateral surface, a sealing surface for sealing to the other stator segment, and has, on the bottom edge, a standing surface for sealing to the base plate; wherein the stator segment standing surface weighs on a load-bearing surface of the base plate.

A method for making a shell plate that is mountable to a shell of a grinding mill for grinding ore, said shell plate includes a shell plate body having a first portion including a fixing surface for fixing the shell plate body to the shell and a second portion including a wear surface facing toward interior of the grinding mill, said first portion and said second portion forming a continuous shell plate body, the second portion includes polyurethane such that the wear surface is made of polyurethane.

A bearing block assembly for a plant-trimming machine having a rotatable perforated tumbler, a rotatable reel and a bed bar assembly. The bearing block assembly comprises an outer bearing plate having a bearing-receiving bore for holding a reel bearing to rotatably support an end of the reel, and an inner bearing plate affixed to the outer bearing plate. The inner bearing plate has a pocket for receiving the bearing-receiving bore of the outer bearing plate, the pocket having a tolerance permitting the bearing-receiving bore to be set at a selected position within the pocket. The inner bearing plate also has a contact surface for engagement with the bed bar assembly and a bore for receiving a tumbler bearing for a rotatable tumbler support. The bearing block assembly has connectors for affixing the outer bearing plate to the inner bearing plate. The bearing block assembly sets the positions of the reel, bed knife and tumbler correctly during assembly of the plant-trimming machine, reducing the time and skill required for maintenance.
