AN EVOLUTION OF QUALITY PRODUCTS
Broad Experience and Years of Development are reflected in the MARCY MILL
For more than fifty yea rs the names MINE
AND SMELTER and MARCY have been the
symbol of dependable quality ore milling ma-
chinery, industr ial and mining equipment, and
supplies created for your specific needs. Dur-
ing this period thousands of operators have
exper ienced continuous economical and un-
equalled service through their use.
No exact date is recorded as to when the
need first arose for some mechanical means
of reducing particles in size, but considering
that it has been many years, it is perhaps sur-
prising that grinding is still an "art" and not
an "exact science".
The Mine and Smelter Supply Company,
through its Manufacturing Divisi on, during
these years has continuously accumulated
knowledge on grinding applications. It has
contributed greatly to the grinding process
through the development and improvement of
such equipment.
Just what is grinding? It is the reduction
of lump solid materials to smaller particles by
the application of sheari'lg forces , pressure,
attrition, impact and abrasion. The primary
consideration. then, has been to develop some
mechanical means for applying these forces .
The modern grinding mill applies power to
rotate the mill shell and thus transmits energy
to some form of media which, in turn, frac-
tures individual particles.
Just how this can best be done reverts to
our history of grinding. In 1914 Mr. Frank E.
Marcy established the " Marcy pr inciple of
gri nd ing". This principle is simply stated
" rapid change of mill content is necessary for
high effic iency". This pri nc iple is incorpo-
rated in all Marcy Mills and has been proven
in hundreds of operating installations until it
is now generall y accepted as a world-wide
axiom. Since the first Marcy installat ion oper-
ators of every class. small as well as large.
have shown their preference for Marcy Mill s.
We point with pride to the grea t number of
large installations throughout the world where
Marcy Mill s are doing the gri nding. Sma ll
mills prof it from the experience of these large
operations.
Through constant and extensive research.
in the field of grinding as well as in the field
of manufacturing. Mine & Smelter cont inues
to pioneer. Constantly changing conditions
provide a challenge for the future. Meet ing
this challenge keeps our company young and
progressive. This progress ive spiri t , with the
knowledge gai ned through the years. assures
top quality equipment for the users of our
mills.
Today Mine & Smelter' s modern manu-
facturing facilities. rigid controls. and close

OVER SO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
It is quite understandable that The Mine
& Smelter Supply Company takes pride in the
quality of its Marcy Mills because of the
tradition established and carried forward in
the history of our company.
Complementing the human craftsmanship
built into these mills, our plants are equipped
with modern machines of advanced design
which permit accurate manufacturing of each
constituent part. Competent supervision en-
courages close inspection of each mill both
as to quality and proper fabrication. Each
mill produced is assured of meeting the high
required standards. New and higher speed
machi nes have replaced former pieces of
equipment to provide up-to-date procedures.
The use of high speed cutting and drilling
tools has stepped up production, thereby re-
ducing costs and permitting us to add other
refinements and pass these savings on to you,
the consumer.
Each foundry heat is checked metallurgic-
ally prior to pouring. All first castings of any
new design are carefully examined by the use
of an X-ray machine to be certain of uniform-
ity of structure. The X-ray is also used to
check welding work, mill heads, and other
castings.
Each Marcy Mill, regardless of size, is de-
signed to meet the specific grindi ng condi-
tions under which it will be used. The speed
of the mill , type of liner, discharge arrange-
ment, size of feeder, size of bearings, mill
diameter and length, and other factors are
all considered to take care of the size of feed,
tonnage, circulating sand load, selection of
balls or rods, and the final size of gri nd.
All Marcy Mills are built with jigs and tem-
plates so that any part may be duplicated.
A full set of detailed drawings is made for
each mill and its parts. This record is kept
up to date during the life of the mill. This
assures accurate duplication for the replace-
ment of wearing parts during the future years.
Views of our manufacturing plant in Den-
ver are shown on these pages. Other manu-
facturing plants are located in Canada, Eng-
land, Australia, Sweden, South Africa, and
Finland.

TEST FACI LITIES
As an additional service we offer our test-
ing laboratories to check your material for
grindability. Since all grinding problems are
different some basis must be established for
recommending the size and type of grind ing
equipment required. Experience plays a great
part in t his phase; however, to establish more
direct rel ationships it is often essential to con-
duct individua l grindability tests on the spe-
cific material involved. To do this we have
established certain definite procedures of lab-
Portion of Foundry
oratory grinding work to correlate data ob-
tained on any new specific material for com-
parison against certain standards. Such stand-
ards have been established from conducting
simi lar work on materi al which is actually
being ground in Marcy Mil ls throughout the
world. The correlation between the results
we obtain in our laboratory against these
standards, coupled with the broad experience
and our company' s background, insures the
proper selection and recommendation of the
required grinding equipment.

When selecting a gri nding mill there are many
factors to be taken into consideration. First let
us consider just what constitutes a grinding mill .
Essentially it is a revolving, cylindrical shaped ma-
chine, the internal volume of which is approxi -
mately one-half filled with some form of grinding
media such as steel balls, rods or non-ferrous
pebbles.
Size of feed to a mill may be considered: coarse
( l" to 2"); medium (1/4" to 3/.!"): or fine(less than
1/4"). Feed may be classified as hard, average or
soft. It may be tough, brittle, spongy, or ductile.
It may have a high specific gravity or a low specifi c
gravity. The desired product from a mill may range
in size from a 4 mesh down to 200 mesh, or int o
the fine micron sizes. For each of these properties
a different mill would be indicated.
The Marcy Mill has been designed to carry
out specific grinding work requirements with em-
phasis on economic factors . Consideration has
been given to minimizing shut-down time and to
provide long, dependable troublefree operation.
Wherever wear takes place renewable parts have
been designed to provide maximum life. A Marcy
Mill, given proper care, will last indefinitely.
Marcy Mills have beer manufactured in a wide
variety of sizes ranging from laboratory units to
mills l2V2' in diameter, with any suitable length.
Each of these mills, based on the Marcy principle
of grinding, provides the most economical grind-
ing apparatus.
Marcy offers you the following advantages:
l . Power requirements and consumption of
liners and media are kept at a minimum.
2. Superior mechanical construction provides
continuous low cost operations.
3. They are available in a large selection of
sizes and capacities.
4 . Low pulp level grinding provides an active
effective grinding mass within the mill to
act on particle size reduction only. There
is no wasteful cushioning of grinding action
by high pulp levels.
5. For any given capacity, Marcy Low Dis-
charge Level Mills require less floor space,
lower transportation costs, and minimum
required erection material.
ROD MI LLS
For a number of years ball mill grinding
was the only step in size reduct ion between
crushing and subsequent treatment . Subse-
quently rod mil ls have altered this situation,
providing in some instances a more econom-
ical means of size reduction in the coarser
fractions. The principal f ield of rod mill usage
is t he preparation of products in the 4-mesh
to 35-mesh range. Under some conditions it
may be recommended for grinding to about
48 mesh. Within these limits a rod mill is
often superior to and more efficient than a
ball mill . It is frequently used for such size
reduction followed by ball milling to proE:luce
a finished fine grind. It makes a product uni-
form in size with only a minimum amount of
tramp oversize.
The basic principle by which grinding is
done is reduction by line contact between
rods extending the full length of the mill.
Such line contact results in selective grinding
carried out on the largest particle sizes. As a
result of this selective grinding work the in-
herent tendency is to make s ize reduction
with the minimum production of extreme
fines or slimes.
The rod mill has been found advantageous
for use as a fine crusher on damp or sticky
materials. Under wet grinding conditions this
feed characteristic has no drawback for rod
mill ing whereas under crushing conditions
those characteristics do cause difficulty. This
asset is of particular importance in the man-
ufacture of sand, brick, or lime where such
material is ground and mixed with just suffi-
cient water to dampen, but not to produce a
pulp. The rod mill has been extensively used
for the reduction of coke breeze in the 8-mesh
to 20-mesh size range containing about l 0%
moisture to be used for sintering ores.

BALL MILLS
Grinding by use of nearly spheri cal shaped
gri nding media is termed ball milling. Strictly
speaking, such media are made of steel or
iron. When iron contamination is detrimental ,
procel.3in or natural non-metallic materials are
used and are referred to as pebbles. When ore
particles are used as grindi ng media this is
known as autogenous grinding.
Other shapes of media such as short cyl-
inders, cubes, cones, or irregular shapes have
been used for grinding work but today the
nearl y true spherical shape is predominant and
has been found to provide the most economic
form.
In contrast to rod milling the grindi ng
action results from point contact rather than
li ne contact. Such point contacts take place
between the balls and the shell liners, and
between the individual balls themselves. The
material at those points of contact is ground
to extremely fine sizes. The present day prac-
tice in ball milling is generally to reduce ma-
terial to 35 mesh or finer . Grinding in a ball
mill is not selective as it is in a rod mill and
as a result more extreme fines and tramp over-
size are produced.
Ball mills generally operate at slightly
higher speeds than rod mills and thereby im-
part a cascading action to the gri nding media.
Ball mills are generally recommended not
only for single stage fine gri nding but also
have wide application in regrind work. The
Marcy Ball Mill with its low pulp level is
especially adapted to single stage grinding
as evidenced by hundreds of installations
throughout the world. There are many appli-
cations in specialized industrial work for
either continuous or batch grinding.
WET AND DRY CRINDINC
Wet grinding may be considered as the
grindi ng of material in the presence of water
or other liquids in sufficient quantity to pro-
duce a fluid pulp (generally 60 % to 80 %
solids) . Dry grinding on the other hand is
carried out where moisture is restricted to a
very limited amount (generally less than 5 %).
Most materials may be ground by use of either
method in either ball mills or rod mi lls. Se-
lection is determined by the condition of feed
to the mill and the requirements of the
ground product for subsequent treatment .
When grinding dry some provision must be
made to permit material to flow through the
mill. Marcy Mills provide this necessary gra-
dient from the point of feeding to point of dis-
charge and thereby expedites flow.
ADVANTAGES OF WET GRINDING
l . No dust problem.
2. Damp and sticky feed may be treated.
3. Low power consumption.
4 . Simplified material handling.
5. Higher mill capacity.
6. Size classificat ion is simplified.
ADVANTAGES OF DRY GRINDING
l. Lower steel consumpti.on.
2. Elimination of dryi ng or filtering f in-
ished product.
FINENESS OF GRIND
The fineness to which material must be
ground is determined by the individual mate-
rial and the subsequent treatment of that
ground material. Where actual physical sepa-
ration of constituent part icles is to be rea l-
ized grinding must be carried to the fineness
where the individual components are sepa-
rated. Some materials are li berated in coarse
sizes whereas others are not liberated until
extremely fine sizes are reached.
Occasionally a sufficient amount of valu-
able particles are liberated in coarser sizes to
justify separate treatment at that grind. This
treatment is usually fol lowed by regrinding
for further liberation. Where chemica l treat-
ment is involved, the reaction between a solid
and a liquid, or a solid and a gas. will gen-
erally proceed more rapidly as the particle
sizes are reduced. The point of most rapid
and economical change would determine the
fineness of grind required.
Laboratory examinations and grinding tests
on specific materials should be conducted to
determine not only the fineness of grind
required, but also to indicate the size of
commercial equipment to handle any specific
problem.

The following few pages are devoted to
the subject "From Theory to Practice" taking
you step by step through some of the vari-
ables encountered in grinding and how each
of these affect your operations.
As previously pointed out, grinding must
still be considered an art and not an exact
science. As a result many theories have been
expounded on the numerous variables which
enter into grinding work. Should it be pos-
sible to reduce all of these variables to a sim-
ple mathematical formula the selection of a
grinding mill would, of course, be simple.
Many approaches to this have been made but
to date a fool-proof formula, both mathe-
matically and practically applicable, has not
been devised. We must, therefore, take each
variable into consideration on its own merits
and then correlate such ideas into a single
selection. To do this a broad experience and
understanding of the complete subject of
grinding is essential. This is a part of the
problem of your engineers and our own con-
sulting staff. On page 5 two general points
have been discussed briefly wet or dry
grinding, and fineness of grind. Two main
categories of grinding equipment, namely rod
mills and ball mills, have also been mentioned.
Whether grinding is to be performed wet
or dry, or in a ball mill or rod mill, a choice
must be made between open or closed cir-
cuit. Other factors which require thought are
mill size, speed of mill rotation, moisture con-
tent, retention time, circulating load, type and
sizes of grinding media, mill pulp level, mill
shape, power, and relation between diameter
and length. These all influence operating re-
sults and are evaluated and incorporated in
the selection and design of the Marcy Mill.
A NOTE ABOUT MI L L SHAPE
Marcy mills are essentially cylindrical ir"""
shape and this design has been selected for
very definite reasons.
Mill capacity is a function of the mill vol
ume and the load of grinding media. There-
fore to obtain a mill of greatest capacity for
any given space, pure logic dictates a mill
having the greatest volume. While a square
section would provide the greatest volume,
smooth continuity of operation and uniformity
of media action must also be considered and
thus a true circle is the only practical answer.
Should the diameter vary from one end to an-
other there is but one thing which occurs
reduced volume, or in other words, reduced
capacity.
The cylinder simplifies mill construction,
resulting in a minimum amount of mainte-
nance and reflecting in less downtime. Power-
wise, cylindrical mills provide the most eco-
nomical piece of equipment for grinding work.
Floor space for any mill is proportional to the
diameter of the mill and its length. Therefore,
floor space is kept at a minimum. A mi l l . ~
keeping uniform diameter throughout its full
length obtains maximum volume for a given
floor space.
LENGTH OF MI LL
The relationship of mill diameter to length,
is of considerable importance. Rod mills should
have a length greater than the diameter to
avoid entanglement' of rods. The construction
of ball m'ills is different in that the diameter,
may be larger, equal to, or smaller than the
length.
The selection of mill length is depend-
ent upon the size of feed, size of product and'
type of grinding circuit selected. Considera-
tions given a short mill are the reduced floor
space, shorter retention time producing less
fines in the discharge product, and the possi-'
bility of producing a slight amount of tramp
oversize particles. Corresponding conditions
to be expected from a longer mill are greater
floor space requirements, higher capacity'
(closely proportional to mill length), greater
retention time thereby producing a finer mill
discharge product and a greater amount of ex-
treme fines, less tramp oversize in the product."
Since most mill variables act as a function of
the mill length, this consideration is relatively
simple. On pages 10 and 1 1 considerable dis-
cussion is provided on the subject of mill"
diameter.

OPEN AND CLOSED CI RCUITS
SINGLE AND TWO-STAGE
GRINDING
The method of operating a grindi ng mill
may be classified into two methods. open cir-
cuit or closed circuit. In open circuit grind-
ing feed enters one end of the mi II at a pre-
determined rate so as to make the desired fin-
ished product during a single pass through
that mill. In other words there is no size
classi f ication made on the discharge product .
One important application is on ores contain-
Advantages of ope n circuit grinding:
1. Simplicity of mill layout.
2. May be used where classifying is not
practical .
3. May be used where control of prod-
uct size is not important.
4. The use of rod mi l ls will produce an
ideal fine feed for ball mills.
5. May be used where classi f ier dilutuion
would be objectionable.
Advantages of closed circuit grinding:
1. Prov1des a close control of finished
product size.
2. Mill capacity is greatly increased.
ing damp and clay-like material which causes
difficulty in fine crushing. This problem is
generally solved by wet grinding in a rod
- mill or in this case it may be called wet fine
crushing.
3. Power requirements per ton of f i n-
ished material are lower.
4. Less overgrinding or production of ex-
t reme f i nes.
-
-
-
-
-
In closed circuit grinding the feed enters
one end of the mill and is discharged from
the other end into some type of classifier .
This classi fier is to limit maximum particle
size removed from the mill circuit. The over-
size material is returned to the grinding mill
for additional size reduction. Such material
returhed to the mill is defined as the circulat-
ing load. Classifying equipment may consist
of vibrating screens on coarse separations for
wet or dry grinding. For wet grinding in the
finer size ranges wet classifiers and/or cy-
clones are employed, generally to make a size
separation from 20 mesh down to 325 mesh.
Under dry grinding conditions air classifiers
are used to make the size classification.
Single stage grinding may be defined as
grinding original feed to finished size in a
single mill . It may o;:>erate in either open cir-
cuit or closed circuit.
Two stage or multiple stage grinding may
be defined as grinding in two or more uni t s
with each unit making a step in size reduc-
tion. Each mill may operat e either as open
circuit or closed ci rcuit.

CIRCULATING LOAD
Generally speaking circulating loads for
rod mi ll operation will be less than 200 %.
In most cases it will more closely approach
100% to 120 %. In ball mill operations the
ci rculat ing load will vary between 300% and
1000 % depending upon the grind required
and t ype of mat erial . As an average i t will
approach 3 50 % .

From Theory to Practice
MILL SPEEDS
Proper speed, or most efficient speed, at
which mills are to operate depends upon the
action desired by the grinding media, the amount
of media, its size and shape, percentage of solids
in each mill , and shape of liners. In the follow-
ing discussion we refer to critical speed apply-
ing to ball mills and peripheral speed referring
to rod mills. Reference g r ~ p h s giving these
speeds for various mill diameters will be found
on page 9.
Critical speed may be considered as the
speed at which an infinite particle will con-
tinue its travel around the periphery of the
mill , thus becoming part of a flywheel action.
Grinding balls actually will not centrifuge at
this theoretical critical speed since they are larger
than an infinite particle and also because of
slippage.
The following table illustrates the action of a
normal ball charge at various percentages of critical
speed.

Generally speaking ball mil ls operate within
the range of 50% to 90% of critical speed.
The average is found to be approximately 75 % .
Pebble Mills have been found to operate more
efficiently at higher speeds than ball mills.
When reaching the higher percentages of critical
speed caution must be used and consideration
given the action of the scoop feeder (see
page 22).
When considering rod mills, peripheral
speeds only should be considered. In the case
of ball milling, with a free moving grinding me-
dium, ball paths obtained are based on critical
speeds. ln a rod mill with a comparat ively rigid
grinding medium, a certain cascading and roll
of rods are obtained, which does not resemble
the action of loosely projected ball paths. There-
fore to simulate similar rod actions in mi lls of
various diameters it is necessary to operate be-
tween 60% and 98% of critical speed. There-
fore, Critical Speed is misleading if used in con-
junction with rod mi lls. It has been found that
Marcy low pulp level rod mills show increases
in efficiency as peripheral speeds are increased
from 300' per minute to the present practical
maximum of around 500' per minute.
To illustrate the comparison between critical
speeds and peripheral speeds and the misleading use
of critical speed for rod mills, we submit the follow-
ing illustrative table:

from Theory to Practice
POWER AND CAPACITY
Often grinding capacity and power are used
hand in hand since power is an index to the
potent ialities of any grinding mill. The grind
achieved is in direct relation to the power applied
in rotating a mill. This rotation transmits energy
input to the grinding media and energy is con-
sumed in reducing particle sizes. When any
particle is split , producing two or more smaller
part icles , the total surface area of the smaller
particles will be greater than the surface area of
the initial size. Therefore surface area often
is used to express the amount of grinding work
which is performed.
There are two methods of looking at power.
First and easily understood is the reference to
connected horsepower , or the actual consumed
horsepower required to drive the mill. The sec-
ond is bas ing power on the amount of work done.
We prefer to express this as kilowatt hours per
ton of materia l ground. The following formula
containing three factors may be found useful in
calculating power consumed per ton of material
ground. Wherever two of the factors are avail-
able, the third may easily be solved.
KWH/ton x tons per 24 hours

HP
There are several variables in mill horsepower
-the most important has to do with mill diame-
ter. Several of these variables also reflect simi-
larly on capacity. There have been various state-
ments made as to how power and capacity vary
with mill diameter, each using a figure of the
diameter raised to some power, such as 0

, 0 2.6

,

. For your convenience we have
listed on page 11 a table givi ng these various
diameters raised to the appropriate figures . We
have found in the Marcy low pulp level mills
that the capacity varies closely as the diameter
cubed. The mill power varies closely as the
diameter to the 2.5 power . With overflow type
mills, or high pulp level mills, the theoretical ex-
ponents more closely approach the 2.6 or 2.65
power. The difference lies in the waste of energy
when transmitted through a cushioning deep
quantity of pulp.
Power required in relationship to mill length
is a straight line function or direct proportion
within limits. In other words each foot of mill
will require a definite amount of power. Capac-
ity of a mill also varies in the same manner .
Example:
You are operating a No. 86 Marcy Mill con-
suming 245 HP and gri nding 500 tons per day
to 65 mesh. What will be the capacity of a
54 Marcy Mill? From the table on page 11 . the
86 diameter cubed is 512; the 54 diameter
cubed is 125 ; the 86 diameter to the 2.5 power
is 181 ; and the 54 diameter to the 2.5 power
is 55.91 . Such diameters are inside new liners.
Capacity
125 x4
x 500 = 81 tons
512 X 6
Horsepower
55.91 X 4
X 245 = 50 HP
181 X 6
Therefore the 54 mill will have a capacity of
81 tons and wi II consume 50 H P.
Power consumed is a reflection of the fine-
ness of grind. The finer a material is ground the
more power is consumed.
Power consumption is also a reflection of
the amount of media carried within the mill.
The maximum power requirements for any mill
will be when it is 45% to 50 % filled with
grinding media . Above or below this power
drops off. Similarly mill capacity will behave
the same way. Within limits the effect of add-
ing or decreasing grinding media will be pro-
portional to that weight.
Power is again reflected in mill dilution. A
mill carrying a high percentage of solids will
consume less power than a mill carrying a low
percentage of sol ids .
The above refers to wet grinding. Under dry
grinding conditions it has been found that the
power will be between 60 % and 90 % that of
a wet grinding mill. Wet grinding capacity will
be 1 Y2 to 2 times that of dry grinding.

MILL DIAMETER INSIDE
The above graph illustrates how power con-
sumed for various grinds changes with ball mi ll
diameter. It is noted that as the diameter of the
mi II increases the kilowatt hours consumed per ton
decrease. This shows the advantage of selecting as
large a diameter mil l as possible for any grinding
application. (Curves may be used within limits of
about 3 or 4 feet d iameter variance.)
Below is a graph showing the effect on mill
capacity by varying the size of feed . As feed size
decreases capacity increases: Example : 1" feed
equals 24.5 %: Y2" feed equals 43 %. Decreasing
feed would increase capacity (43-24.5) 18.5 %.

From Theory to Practice
GRINDING MEDIA
The subject of grinding medi a is still con-
troversial. The following information is gen-
eral and based upon facts gathered from many
operations.
General statements can be made and are
worthy of consideration when selecting grind-
ing media. For the best results it has been
found that the smallest diameter ball or rod
which will break down the particular material to
be ground is desirable since greatest surface area
is obtained. From the standpoi nt of economy.
the larger the media the higher will be the liner
consumpt ion and media consumption. The mini -
mum size of grinding balls should be selected
with caution si nce there will be a tendency for
such bal ls to float out of the mill in a dense
pulp (this is minimized by the use of a Marcy
grate di scha'rge mill) . Also the smaller the media
the quicker it will reach its reject size.
For the first stage of grinding, media will
generally be in the 4" to 2" size (in some cases
as high as 5") . In secondary finer grinding the
initial charge will begin at around 3" and in
the case of balls will grade down to about 3_4".
Extremely fine grindi ng will dictate the use of
1 %" and sma ller balls.
Grinding media is the working part of a mill.
It will consume power whether it is doing grind-
ing work or not. The amount of work which it
does depends upon its size, its material, its con-
struction and the quantity involved. It is, there-
fore, advantageous to select the type of grind-
ing media which will prove most economical ,
the size of media which will gi ve the best grind-
ing results, and the quantity of media which
will just produce the grind required.
One of the economic factors of grinding is
the wear of the gr inding media. This is de-
pendent upon the material used in its manu-
facture, method of manufacture, size of media ,
diameter of mill , speed of mil l, pulp level main-
tained in the mill , rate of feed, density of pulp
ma inta ined, shape of the liner surface, nature
of the feed, and the probl em of corrosion.
In general practice, tonnage rates and
power consumption will be in direct proportion
11
to the specific gravity of the media and approxi-
mately in direct proportion with the amount of
media.
Many shapes of gri nding media have been
tr ied over the past years . but essentially there
are only two efficient types of med ia used. These
are the spherical ball and the cylindrical rod.
Other shapes are relatively expensive to manu-
facture and they have shown no appreciable
improvement in grinding characterist ics.
It will be found that a seasoned charge will
provide a better grind than a new mill charge.
This, of course, is impossible to determine at
the offset, but after continuous operation the
media charge should be checked for size and
weight, and maintained at that optimum point .
After the charge has been selected, replacement
media should be made at the maximum size
used. In some cases it has been found advan-
tageous to add replacement media of two or
more sizes, so as to maintain more closely the
seasoned ratio.
The original charge to a mill is generally
between 40 % and 50 % of mill volume for ball
mills and 35 % to 45 % mill volume for rod mills.
As a general figure rod mills will have a
void space within the charge of around 20 %
to 22% for new rods. In ball mills the theo-
retical void space is around 42 % to 43%. It
has been found that as grinding rods wear a
4" or 4 Y2" rod will generally break up at about
1 Y2" diameter. The smaller diameter new rods
do not break up as easily and will generally
wear down to about 1". In many applications
it has been found . that grinding efficiency will
increase if rods are removed when they reach
the 1" size, and also if broken pieces of rods
are removed. The Marcy Open End Rod Mill
has the advantage of allowing the quick and
easy removal of such rods.
It is difficult to give figures on media con-
sumption since there are so many var iables.
Rods will be consumed at the rate of 0.2# per
ton on soft easily ground material up to 2#
per ton on harder material. Steel consumption
of balls is spread out over an even greater range.
Some indication as to media consumption can
be obtained from power consumed in grinding.
For example, balls or rods will generally wear
at a rate of about 1 # for each 6 or 7 kilowatt
hours consumed per ton of ore. Liner consump-
tion is generally about one-fifth of the media
consumption.

Rods are to be hot rolled, hot sawed or sheared,
with standard tolerance and machine straightened .
We have found that a good grade of forged
steel grinding balls is generally most efficient for
use with our Marcy grate discharge ball mills .

General
The Mine and Smelter Supply Company
does not attempt to build a "cheap" grinding
mill. Engineering based on long experience
with mill manufacture enters into the pro-
duction of Marcy Mills, with the result that
in field operation this equipment yields the
lowest possible operating costs, maximum op-
erating time, and years of useful service. As
such then it is not an expensive mill.
Every Marcy Mill is engineered and de-
signed to meet the specific grinding condi-
tions under which it will be used. The speed
of the mill, type of liners, grate openings for
ball mills, size and type of feeder, size and
type of bearings, trunnion openings, mill di-
ameter and length, as well as many other
smaller factors are all given careful consid-
eration in designing the Marcy Mill.
Each mill is of proper design, constructed
in a workmanlike manner, and guaranteed to
be free from defects in material or workman-
ship. All Marcy Mills are built to jigs and
templates so any part may be duplicated when-
ever required. All parts are accurately ma-
chined for fits with close tolerances. Before
shipment each mill is assembled in our shops,
carefully checked and match marked to fa-
cilitate field erection. The mill is given a
heavy coat of paint especially prepared for
this type of machinery and all machined sur-
faces are thoroughly coated with protecting
grease.
A complete set of detailed drawings is
made for each mill and kept in a fireproof
vault. This assures the future supply of per-
fectly fitting replacement parts for the life of
the mill. Wearing parts embodying the latest
developments are supplied on all orders.
Pages 14-19 are devoted to descriptions of
many of the integral parts composing a Marcy
Mill. The discharge parts and the various
feeders and drives are discussed on pages
20-23.
In these descriptions you will find the
word " MEEHA NI TE" . This is a trade name
for metal castings poured under a licensed
agreement with The Meehanite Metal Cor-
poration. A complete description of its char-
acteristics and inherent nature is found on
page 19.
The above heavy duty rol l s devel oped for our own use provi des
a tr ue ci r cul ar shel l havi ng cl ose tol er ances. Thi s assur es perfect
fi t for shel l l i ners and heads.
Marcy Mill shells are fabricated from rolled plate
steel. Under special conditions they can be cast of
Meehanite, steel, or special alloys. The plate steel shells
are rolled accurately to diameter and arc welded accord-
ing to ASME specifications, using a Union Melt Auto-
matic Welding Machine. This equipment provides an
even flow, uniform strength weld with full penetration.
On each end of the shell are steel flange rings bored
to fit the shell, set in place and welded to the shell in-
side and out by the Union Melt machine. Large diam-
eter shells are stress relieved under temperature and
atmosphere control after welding is completed. Such
heat treatment relieves any stresses or strains set up
during rolling and welding operations.
The method of attaching the flange rings leaves the
inside surface of the shell free from any pockets or de-
pressions which would cause pulp racing and wear. The
flanges are then machined true with the shell axis and
with each other and counterbored to gauge for male and
female fit with the separate mill heads. This construc-
tion eliminates any possibility of bolt shearing.
One or two manholes are provided in ball mill shells,
designed so that all interior wearing parts can readily
pass through such openings.
Marcy Mill shells are generally 5" to 7" greater in
diameter than the nominal mill diameter figure. In other
words the diameter of a Marcy Mill is the measurement
inside the average thickness of new l i ner snot inside
the shell as designated by some manufacturers.

HEADS AND TRUNNIONS
Marcy Feed Head
Marcy feed and discharge heads are detachable.
cast of Meehanite metal of ample thickness. either
of GA or GC. depending on the size of mill and with
cons.i deration to bending stresses. These heads are
generally ribbed for extra strength and stiffness. Such
ribs terminate near the center of the head in a trun-
nion seat. A male and female fit to the shell fla nge
ring is provided and the back of the connecting fla nge
is faced or spot faced to furnish a true seat for t he
joint connecting bolts.
The head to which the gear will be attached has
a seat or flange with a shoulder turned accurately to
size providing a seat for the gear.
All turning and boring is done in one setting to
assure perfect concentrcity.
Smaller Marcy Mills are constructed with separate
trunnions ; larger diameter mills have trunnions cast
integral with the heads. Separate trunn ions are at-
tached to the heads with bolted flanges for male and
female fit . Flanges are faced and counter bored. All
trunn ions are cast of Meehanite metal. turned and
carefully polished. All trunnions have a la rge bear-
ing surface capable of carrying the heavy mill load
and to avoid heating during operation. The outer ends
of the trunnions are faced and drilled to receive
the trunnion liners. protecting the insi de surface from
wear.
Liner bolt holes are drilled to template and spot
faced on the outside of the head.
FEED HEAD
The feed head has ample depth to contain the
feed head liners. The rod mill feed head is conical
in shape to give the essential feature of a feed entry
pocket in front of the rods.
BALL MILL DISCHARGE HEAD
This head is of considerable depth providing a
pulp lifting chamber, and is designed to contai n the
discharge grates, clamp bars. and the lifters which
elevate the mill product through the trunnion. See
pages 20 and 21 .
Marcy Discharge Head showing lifters cast integral with head
ROD MILL DISCHARGE HEAD
For rod mill work the discharge head is conical
in shape causing the rods to travel by rotation later-
ally and away from the exceptionally large discharge
opening. The discharge opening is larger than the
in let opening. thus providing the Marcy Low Pulp
Line principle of grinding.
TRUNNION LINERS
The discharge trunn ion liner is cast of Meehanite
metal and has a wide mouthed bell to conduct the
mill product away from the mill . with no back dr ip.
The feed end trunn ion liner is also constructed
of Meehanite and can be furnished of several de-
signs to _meet each specific application. cor normal
closed circuit gri nd ing work a spiral liner is furn is hed
to screw new feed and return sands into the mill.
For spout fed mills a plain tapered liner is generally
furn ished. ~
The mill trunnions are machined with a taper
bored seat to receive the trunn ion liner. Such ar-
rangement permits the trunnion liner wei ght to be
carried by the seat rather than by the connecting
studs. This is of particular importance on the feed
end since the shearing effect of the added feeder
would cause breakage of the feeder connecting bolts.

TRUNNION BEARI CS
Swivel type lead-bronze bushed trunnion bearings
are generally furnished on large diameter Marcy Mills.
The bearing swivels are of Meehanite metal spherically
turned outside and bored and faced inside to receive
the removable bushing. The bushing is bored and
scraped to fit the mill trunnion. The bushing is pro-
vided with end flanges thus assuring that the trunnion
flanges run against a bronze face.
On smaller mills rigid or swivel type bearings sup-
port the mill trunnions. The lower half of such bear-
ings are lined with bronze or a special Marcy babbitt
which is peened in place and bored to fit the trunnion.
In all cases a low bearing pressure is maintained
to assure freedom from overheating, long life and
minimum maintenance. They are designed to provide
support to the mill proper, its media and pulp load.
Trunnion bearings are generally supplied with
seals for use with a circulating oil lubrication sys-
tem. They can be designed to accommodate block
grease or oi I with wool waste.
For special applications trunnion bushings can be
furnished c-onstructed of Micarta to allow water lubri-
cation or oi l lubrication.
In mdny dry gri nding applications, or where heat
is developed, the trunnion bearings can be furnished
for water cooling. This system carries away the ex-
cess heat transmitted through bearings and protects
them.
BRONZE BUSHINCS
Marcy Lead Bronze has been found to be the
most satisfactory bearing material for large diameter
bearings, affording the greatest protection against
damage of trunnions. Lead bronze wi ll withstand ex-
treme heat for a considerable period of time (for ex-
ample in the event of lubrication failure). Such heat
will cause the lead to sweat out and act as a lubricant
itself. This protection eliminates the possibility of
scoring a trunnion and there is no danger, as with
babbitt, of having the trunnions settle in the bearing
and rub on the bearing l>ase.
PINION SHAFT BEARINGS
Pinion shaft bearings are of the SKF anti-friction
type mounted in a common twin bearing assembly.
Bearings are fixed in place so that the pinion shaft
of the mill is always in alignment with the drive com-
ponents. V-belt driven mills are furnished with an
outboard bearing of similar construction.
Also available are bearings of the double rigid
ring oiling type for special applications. Such bear-
ings are cast integral with a heavy twin bearing sole
plate assuring perfect alignment and rigidity. These
bearings are equipped with bronze or babbitted bush-
ings.
16
BASE AND CAP
These are cast heavy in section of Meehanite
metal. Where swivel type bearings are used the base
is spherically bored inside to gauge to receive such
swivels. The bottom of the base is planed to fit a
planed top of the trunnion bearing sole plate. The
bearing cap is provided with a shroud feature ex-
tending out over drip flanges to protect the bearing
from entrance of dirt or grit.
Slotted holes are provided in the base for bolt-
ing the base to the sole plate ; this permits move-
ment of the bearing on the sole plate for adjustment
of gear and pinion mesh. Such adjustment is carried
out by the use of set screws.
LUBRICANT JACKS
A separate hand operated lubricant jack can be
furnished to be mounted on the bearing base or at
some distant point to provide a flow of lubricant prior
to starting mill rotation. This feature assures lubricant
being present at the bottom of the bearing and re-
flects somewhat in reducing bearing wear and shows
a slight reduction in starting torque.
....
GEARS AND PINIONS
Two general classifications of geari ng are used for Marcy Mill drives .
These are the spur gear and the helical gear. Helica l gearing may be either
of the single helical or double helical (Her ringbone) design.
SPUR GEARS
These are genera ll y furn ished on the smaller diameter mil ls using
V-belt drives or reducer drives. Spur gears and pinions are cut with teeth
of the ful l depth involute tooth form thus assuring maximum tooth strength
and long wear ing life. The main gear is cut from a special Meehanite
metal casting and is constructed split and revers ible. The pinion is cut
from a steel for ging bored, keyseated and mounted on the pinion shaft.
The pinion is also reversible.
All spur gears and pinions are careful ly machined and the teeth are
accurately cut to obta in proper tooth profile and spacing. thereby util izing
the maximum potential tooth strength and wear rating.
HELICAL GEARS
Helical gears are used for the larger diameter mills which are to be
direct connected to a low speed motor. There are primarily two ma in
reasons fo r use of helical gearing on this drive arrangement . First. in
order to permit higher gear ratios than are obtai nable from a practical
standpoint with use of the spur gear. This in turn permits the use of
a higher speed and less expensive motor. Second ; in order to take advan-
tage of the smoothe r continuous overlapping tooth action of helical geari ng
so essent ial where the re is no intermediate transmission element such as
a V-belt drive or speed reducer . All helical gears and pinions are cut with
the fu ll depth toot h form. The main gear is cut from a special gear steel
cast ing and is made split and reversible. The pinion, usually integral
with the pinion shaft , is cut from an alloy steel forging and heat treated
prior to cutting the teeth. The pinion shaft is double ended so it is also
reversible.
All Marcy Mill geari ng is designed in accordance with sound engineer-
ing principles and at the same time wit h consideration gi ven to the long
range economics involved. Extremes such as excessively high ratios or
a very low number of teeth in the pin ion are always avoided. This is done
to provide allowance for such later changes in power or capacity require-
ments as changing the mill speed through the use of different sized pinions.
Therefore, complete repl acement of the main gea r and pini on is not
required.
Furthermore, all gears and pinions are of ample proportion to with-
stand the dynamic overloads encountered in this service and to provide
sat isfactory performance under the conditions peculiar to mill operation .
PINION SHAFTS
As mentioned above pin ion shafts used with helical geari ng are usua lly
forged integral with the pinion. For other drives the pinion shaft is care-
fully t urned and keyseated to accommodate the pin ion for press f it .
GEAR GUARD
A plate steel gear gua rd , generally in the form of a full ci rcle is fur-
nished to protect t he gear from entrance of dirt or forei gn material. It is
furnished with an inspecti on door and a door to be used for the application
of gear lubr icant. It is made dust resista nt for operations under extremely
dirty and dusty condi t ions. The gear guards are designed to be mounted
independently of the mill proper.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Where specific cond itions call for specia l features . these can be pro-
vided. For example: Splitters for distri but ing mill d ischarge to two separate
cl assi fiers ; Rubber lining of heads , shells or feeders for resistance agai nst
abrasion or corrosion; sectionalizing for transportation restrictions ; special
"""' designs for metal reclaiming work ; discharge trammels and elevators ;
heavy duty scrubber applications.

SHELL LINERS
Shell liners may be furnished of various materials and
of several designs. In each case the material used is the
best obtainable, resulting in the lowest cost per ton of ore
ground. The liner contours are selected for the specific
grinding application and take into consideration liner wear,
scrap loss, and mill capacity.
Liners cast of Manganese Steel, Ni-Hard, Chrome-moly,
or other similar materials may be of the step type, block
type, wave type, or the two-piece plate and lifter con-
struction. These are illustrated on the right. During the
past years of building Marcy Mills various other shapes of
liners have been tried, such as the pocket type, spiral
liners, etc.; in most cases it is found that these special
shapes and designs are not justifiable frorry the standpoi nt
of economics. They involve additional costs which are not
generally recovered from an increased efficiency in mill-
ing operation.
Lorain Shell Liners consist of high carbon rolled steel
plates accurately formed to the mill shell radius. These
are held in place by rolled alloy steel heat treated lift bars.
This type liner is carefully engineered for the specific
grinding application. Variations in lift bar design and liner
plate thickness provide this flexibility of design for appli-
cation.
All shell liners designed for ball mill operations are of
such size and shape that they will easily pass through the
manhole opening to facilitate relining operations. In rod
mill work the design is such that they will easily pass
through the large Marcy open end discharge trunnion.
Where cast liners are used, and especially in rod mill
appl ications, we furnish rubber shell liner backing to help
cushion the impact effect of the media within the mill and
prevent pulp racing. With the Lorain type of liner such
shell liner backing is not required. For special applications
where severe corrosive conditions exist a shell I iner of
special alloys can be furnished and also the interior surface
of the shell can be treated to protect such parts from the
corrosive conditions.
HEAD LINERS
Head liners are of the segmental type constructed of
Manganese Steel , Chrome modybdenum, or Ni-Hard and
are designed to pass easily through the manhole opening
or discharge opening in the case of rod mills. For ball mill
work ribs are cast with the feed head liners to deflect the
ball mass and minimize wear on the head liner itself.
In grate ball mill work there are no discharge head
liners. The discharge grates and grate assembly replace
these parts.
LINER BOLTS
Where cast liners are used shell liner bolts and head
liner bolts are made of forged steel with an oval head to
prevent turning and loosening within the liners. These are
held in place with two hex nuts and a cut washer. For
wet grinding applications special waterproof washers can
be furnished .

MEEHANITE METAL
Meehanite is the copyrighted trade name for a
uniform, closely controlled iron cast to ri gid physical
properties. The Mine and Smelter Supply Company
pioneered the use of Meehanite as applied to gri nd-
ing mi II construction.
Because of the uniformity of properties and as-
surance of manufacture according to engineering
specifications, Meehanite metal has been selected
for use in the construction of Marcy Mill heads ,
spur gears. bearings and other castings. Service
performance during the past years has thoroughly
justified and demonstrated the soundness of judg-
ment in selecting this material .
COMPARISON OF PROPERTIES
A structural comparison of medium carbon cast
steel, ordina ry cast iron, and engineering types of
Meehanite metal shows considerable similarity be-
tween ordinary cast iron and cast steel. They exhibit
a matr ix consisting of soft , free ferrite with areas
of pearl ite. In addition the cast irons contain a con-
siderable quantity of coarse flake graphite. When
making a direct comparison between a carbon spring
steel and an engineering type Meehanite it is found
that both materials exhibit a high strength, excel-
lent wear resisting, fully pearlitic structure. The
Meehan ite metal, however, contains in addition a
limited controll ed amount of short, well distributed
flake graphite which is of great importance since it
imparts free machining qualities as well as casting
soundness , high dampening capacity for resonant
vibrat ions, and freedom from notch sensitivity, par-
ticularly under dynamic fatigue stresses.
All meta ls tend to exhibit columnar crystalliza-
tions on changi ng from the liquid to the solid state
and the junction of columnar crystals is a common
cause of structural weakness in steel and other
alloys. In the manufacture of Meehanite the nu-
cleation of crystal growth assures the formation of
an equiaxed crystal structure, free from planes of
internal weakness, shrinks, cracks and columnar
crystal embrittlement .
SOLIDITY, UNIFORMITY AND DEPENDABILITY
In the manufacture of any metal casting, uni-
form solidity and closeness of grain throughout all
sections are basic essentials for dependable castings
and the el imination or even reduction of shrink is
a major problem with most metals. During the pro-
cess of solidification steel will shrink some 12%.
A soft gray iron casting wi II expand due to the
separation of large amounts of soft flake graphite,
and then contracts during the liquid-solid metal
transformation. This results in expansion voids and
internal porosity. With the mechanism of solidifi-
cation of Meehanite castings the amount of graph-
ite separating approximately compensates for this
liquid-soli d shrinkage. The significance of these
facts is apparent since the Meehanite casting alone
provides density and solidity when two or more sec-
tions come together.
A design and materials engineer is concerned
with the many property characteristics of metals as
an index of their behavior under service conditions.
Thus the well recognized stress-strain diagram is
often cons ide red. Such a diagram wi II show that
both steel and Meehanite type GA will have true
modulus values where stress is proportional to
strain. There is , however . no true index of modulus
for ordinary cast iron . Steel has a cl early def ined
yie ld strength of a little over 35,000 PSI where very
considerable plastic deformation occurs without
further load increments. Beyond this yield strength
steel would have little service value . On the other
hand a Meehanite metal casting could withstand
momentarily, overloads beyond th is value without
serious deformation even though the ultimate
strength was markedly lower than that of the steel
casting.
SERVICE PERFORMANCE
Several properties which are of particular sig-
nificance to the engineer have been listed. Low
notch sensitivity of Meehanite metal in relation to
the effects of keyways. grooves, sharp fillets or
defective machine finish as stress raisers. in com-
parison with high notch sensitivity of steel is of
major importance with parts subjected to dynamic
stresses. The significance of this property is clearly
defined by data obtained on the marked reduct ion
in fatigue strength of steel when subjected to notch
effects.
The reduction of endurance limit of Mehanite
type GA by induction of a groove or notch amounts
to only about 20% as compared with 50 % reduc-
tion for steel under the same conditions.
Since the fully pearlitic structure of Meehanite
is comparable to that obtained in spring and carbon
tool steels, this engineering iron provides excellent
resistance to abrasion and erosion with the added
advantage of high dampening capacity which is
effective in units subjected to dynamic loading.
Cast steels contain considerable quantities of soft
free ferrite which has low strength and low hard-
ness with poor abr.asion resisting qualities , and also
poor machine characteristics.
As a gear material Meehanite metal is excel-
lent . The high dampening capacity for vibration of
Meehanite irons prevents building up of resonant
stresses and assures noiseless, smoother operation.
The maintaining of high strength properties with
low coefficient of friction and excellent resistance
to wear assures long life in service while its capac-
ity to resist surface breakdown renders it as an
ideal gear material.
The above statements briefly discuss the main
qualities of Meehanite which are especially im-
portant when considering a material to be used in
the manufacture of grinding mills. In both ball
mill and rod mill operations the heads are stressed
alternately in compression and tension. This con-
dition is produced by rotation and aggravated by
vibration caused by the grinding media . Meehanite ,
due to its controlled structure and uniformly dis-
seminated carbon content has dampen ing qualitieo
which minimize the effect of vibrat ion.
19
The Marcy Principle of Grinding-"Rapid change
of mill content is necessary for high efficiency."
Marcy Mills have a very large discharge opening or
area and smaller area for incoming feed. The gradient
between the incoming feed opening and the discharge
near the periphery of the shell provides a faster mi-
/"'at ion of the fines than the oversize particles. In
~ e e p pulp level mills commonly known as "overflow
mills" this migration can not occur since material
enters and leaves at the same level by displacement
only. Independent tests have shown that regardless
of mi II shape or design, the discharge product of an
overflow mill will be the same no matter at which
end the feed enters.
Marcy low pulp mills benefit from the full im-
pact of the grinding media acting on the ore particles,
as it falls into the shallow pulp. With a deep pulp
level t ~ e grinding media is cushioned in the pulp,
thus losing its energy and reducing its grinding ability.
Marcy Mills have shown 25% to 45% more tonnage
ground and a substantial reduction in power consumed
per ton of material compared size for size with over-
flow mills.
To illustrate the characteristics of various type
mills we have shown the types of discharge for rod
mills and ball mills. There are essentially four types
of rod mill discharge-the overflow type, the Marcy
,rOpen End discharge, the end peripheral discharge, and
1e center peripheral discharge. In the case of ball
mills these are the overflow type, semi-grate or inter-
mediate pulp level discharge, and the true Marcy
grate discharge. These specified mills are discussed
in more detail on pages 24-35.
A general statement can be made that the closer
the discharge is to the periphery of the shell, the
quicker the material will pass through and less over-
grinding will take place. This is important in both
rod mill and ball mill grinding. First, regardless of
how fine a grind is required, overgrinding is costly
and undesirable. The ideal condition is to remove
the particles as soon as they have reached the opti-
mum size. Secondly, in grinding applications where a
minimum amount of fine material is preferred, again
a rapid flow through the grinding mill is required.
These can be accomplished with the Marcy grate for
ball mill operations, or the various Marcy discharge
arrangements for the rod mill.

OVERFLOW TYPE MIU
-
The di scharge end of the conventional Marcy
Open End Rod Mill is virtually open as the name
implies. As a means of controlling splash and to
prevent unruly rods from moving out of the mill a
discharge plug or plug door arrangement is furnished.
The use of this construction permits pulp to discharge
freely around the annular opening between the plug
and the discharge trunnion liner. By simple removal
of the plug the full large area of the discharge end
may be used for re-rodding, inspection of the mill
when in ope ration, and an easy access to the mill in-
terior for relining. This large opening does away with
the necessity of manholes for mill entrance as com-
monly employed in the overflow type mill. The plug
door arrangement is a great time saver during re-
rodding and re- lining operations.
On sma ller diameter tylarcy Rod Mills a discharge
plug is furnished mounted on the trunnion liner and
extending through to line up with the discharge head
liners. The larger diameter Marcy Mills are furnished
with a discha rge housing arrangement independent of
the mill. A hinged door is mounted in this housing
and easily swi ngs in or out of the discharge trunnion
liner. These housings are also used to control the di -
rect ion of discharge pulp flow leaving the mill. Such
flow may be di rected to the left. right, or directly
below the mi ll centerline.
The discharge housing is of very heavy construc-
t ion for strength and rigidly. Maintenance of this
housing is kept at a minimum, the only wearing part
being the replaceable Manganese Steel plug door liner.
Marcy Open End Discharge Housing

The discharge end of a Marcy Ball Mill is f itted
with grate sections approximately 3 Y2" thick, made
of special heat treated alloy steel developed for this
part icular application. The grate sections have tapered
openings between 1/.1" and Ya" dependent upon the
specific grinding application. These are selected to
provide the greatest efficiency for any particular job.
The grate sections are held in place by tapered Man-
ganese Steel side clamp bars, a center discharge liner,
and end clamp bars. The discharge grates are very
simple to install and require no attention during opera-
tion. The overall life of the discharge end parts gen-
era lly is greater than that of the feed head liners or
shell liners. The discharge end of the Marcy Ball Mill
has at least ten times the discharge opening area,
through the grate slots, compared to the common
trunn ion overflow type mill. The discharge grates are
designed to run clean and free of any blinding or
choking. The pulp level in the mill may be varied
by merely changing the pulp dilution. There is no
compli cated mechanical arrangement to compensate
for pulp level changes. The side clamp bars and center
discharge liner bes ides holding the grate sections in
place, act as a means of stirring up the ball charge
and reduces the amount of wear on the grate sections.
The pulp discharges through the grate slots into a
lifter compartment in the discharge head, lined with
replaceable wearing parts. This lifting compartment
el evates the discharge pulp up to the level of the
discharge trunnion liner opening and spills this against
a deflecting cone which directs it out through the
trunn ion liner.
The above is a Marcy Mill discharge head with dis-
charge grates, side clamp bars, end clomp bars, and
center discharge li ne rs in place. The grates and side
clamp bars are accurately ground to fit the machined
surfaces of the discha rge head lifters.
2.1
Drives and Feeders
Several types of drives can be furnished, made up
of various combinations of gearing, motors and trans-
mission equipment. The correct combination to be se-
lected takes into consideration power requirements, gear
ratings, floor space, interference from other plant equip-
ment and motor characteristics. The ma in types are de-
scribed and illustrated on these pages.
Motors considered are the squirrel cage motor, wound
rotor motor, and synchronous motor. One important ad-
vantage of the synchronous motor is the possible cor-
rect ing of power factor within your operation, through
its use. When using a synchronous motor we recom-
mend having 200% starting torque, 120% to 130%
pull -i n torque, and 225 % pull-out torque. These assume
no greater than a 1 0 % voltage drop at the motor
terminals.
FEEDERS
Each application dictates the selection of proper feed-
ing arrangement . This depends upon whether the grind-
ing will be open circuit or closed circuit, and dry grind-
ing or wet gri nding. The size of feed and tonnage rates
are also important factors.
Speed of scoop lip is important. Listed below for
your convenience is a table showing critical speeds for
various radius scoops. Tip of scoop lip speed should not
exceed 90 to 95% of critical speed. Beyond this scoop
efficiency decreases and scoop will have the tendency
to throw material rather than pick it up.

V-BEL T DRIVE
V-belt or poly-V drives are generally used on
grinding mills consuming 350 HP or less. Where
power exceeds this , drives become so large and
motors become special , resulting in an uneco-
nomical applicat ion. Generally the driven mill
sheave is of split hub construction to facilitate
field assembly. V-belt drives allow use of higher
speed motors, generally low in initial cost . Motor
speeds should be between 580 and 1160 rpm.
The lower speeds apply to large diameter mills,
the higher speeds to the smaller.
SCOOP FEEDERS
The single scoop feede r provides a simple
means of picking up and deliver ing the entire
amount of feed to the grinding mill. These feed-
ers are generally used where the size of feed
will be relat ively fine. The internal construction
of the feeder is such that a spiral carries the
feed into the trunni on liner.
The double scoop feeder is furnished of sim-
ilar construct ion but has an additional advantage
of maintaining a balanced and more uniform
feed rate to the mill. This design also provides
a counter-balanced rotat ing mass smoothing out
power peaks and permits handl ing slightly higher
tonnages. Each scoop is provided with replace-
able Manganese Steel wearing lips.

DIRECT CONNECTED DRIVE
When power exceeds 300 HP a direct connected
drive is recommended. This drive is also applicable
for lower power requirements if desired. Synchronous
motors are preferred, but in some cases wound rotor
motors may be used. Motor speeds will vary from 225
rpm to 450 rpm.
The motor and pinion shafts are connected to-
gether through a flexible coupling. This drive is the
most compact, resulting in minimum floor space. In
cases where motors must be placed away from the
mill a pilot shaft extension with flexible couplings
can be provided.
SPOUT FEEDERS
DRUM FEEDERS
SPEED REDUCER DRIVE
This is essentially a direct connected drive
permitting the use of higher speed motors . The
motor shaft is connected to the high speed shaft
of a reducer by a flexible coupling and similarly
the low speed shaft and pinion shaft are coupled.
Gear motors or motor reducers may similarly
be used but such applications are usually re-
stricted to drives under 75 HP.
Any direct connected drive necessitates per-
efct alignment of all rotating shafts. With Marcy
Mills the pinion shaft is fixed in position. Any
gear adjustments are made by moving mill gear
into proper mesh with the pinion.
COMBINATION FEEDERS
This is the simplest form of
feeder consisting of a cylindrical
or elliptical chute supported in-
dependent of the mill and pro-
jecting directly into the trunnion
liner. This permits a continuous
flow of material into the mill and
reduces maintenance compared
to other types. This feeder pro-
vides maximum feed capacity to
a mill. It is limited to applica-
tions where sufficient elevation
of feed and any circulating load
permits this gravity flow. A spe-
cial trunnion liner is required.
This feeder is genera ll y used
for single pass grinding work.
The entire mi II feed enters the
drum via a chute or spout and
an internal spiral carr ies the feed
into the trunnion liner. The drum
feeder may be used in I ieu of a
spout feeder when headroom lim-
its d irect spouting. The drum also
provides a convenient method of
adding grindi ng balls to a ball
mill. The drum is genera lly lined
with Manganese Steel.
Thi s is most often used in
closed circuit grinding. It is gen-
erally split for easy access to the
interior and lined with Manga-
nese Steel. Original feed enters
the drum and return classifier
sands are picked up by the scoop.
Either a single or double scoop
arrangement can be furn ished.

Rod Mills
Rod Mills may be considered either
f ine crushers or coarse grinding equip-
ment. They are capable of taking as large
as 2" feed and making a product as fine
as 35-48 mesh. Of particular advantage
is their adaptability to handling wet sticky
ores, which normally would cause diffi-
culty in crushing operations. Under wet
grinding condi ti'ons of course the prob-
lem of dust is eliminated.
The grinding action of a rod mill is
line contact. As mater ial travels from
the feed end to the discharge end it is
subjected to crushing forces inflicted by
the grinding rods. The rods both tumble
in essentially a parallel alignment and
also spin, thus simulating the crushing
and grinding action obtained from a
ser ies of roll crushers. The large feed
tends to spread the rods at the feed end
which imparts still an additional action
which may be termed scissoring. As a
result of this spreading the rods tend to
work on the larger particles and thereby
produce a minimum amount of extremely
f ine material.
The Ma rcy Rod Mill encourages the
use of a thick pulp coating both t he
liners and the rods, t hus minimizing steel
consumption. Continuous movement of
the pulp through the rod mass eliminates
the possibility of short circuiting any
mater ial. The discharge end of the Marcy
Rod Mill is virtually open and larger in
diameter than the feed end, providi ng a
steep gradient of mater ial flow through
the mill. This is described in more detail
on pages 20 and 21 .
End Per ipheral discharge and center
peripheral discharge rod mills are de-
scribed in detail on pages 28 and 29.

Feed and discharge heads of Marcy Rod
Mills are conical in shape providing important
advantages over a mi II with straight heads.
1. They provide the essential feed pocket and
also a space for the pulp to squeeze from the
rod mass . This internal feed pocket permits
coarser pieces of material to roll down to
the toe of the rod load and be absor bed,
minimizing rod spread.
2. Rods will not tangle or jam.
3. Wear on head liners is minimized.
4. The sloping heads tend to align the rods
within the mill.
5. Ample space is provided to assist in inspect-
ing and sorting rods when required.

The following cost advantages should be
considered when evaluating rod mill grinding:
1. Rod Mills use low cost grinding media .
2. Less power is required since grinding rods
are not cascaded and operate at lower per-
ipheral speeds.
3. Higher grinding efficiency is obtained since
there is less void space in a rod charge com-
pared to any other grinding media . This also
results in lower steel consumption.
4. Marcy' s heavy rigid construction combined
with the Marcy open end feature insures
maximum operating time.
5. Grinding rods can be kept in maximum work-
ing condition since worn rods may easily be
withdrawn.

The Marcy Rod Mill is probably the most
flexible type of grinding unit available. The fine-
ness of grind and tonnage may be easily varied
by altering the mill speed. rod charge or dilution.
Under dry grinding conditions the rod mili
product may be altered by varying tonnage . size
of feed, size and quantity of grinding med ia and
the use of peripheral discharge ports.
Normally Marcy Mills are furnished of the
two trunnion design. For special applications they
may be furnished of the tire--trunnion or two-
tire construction. These mills can be equipped
with any type of feeder and type of drive. dis-
cussed separately in this catalog.

Rod Mills
PERIPHERAL DISCHARGE ROD MILLS
END PERIPHERAL DISCHARGE
The Marcy End Peripheral Discharge Rod Mill
is designed to produce a minimum amount of fines
when grinding either wet or dry. Material to be
ground enters through a standard trunnion and is
discharged through port openings equally spaced
around the mill periphery. These ports are in a
separate ring placed between the shell and the dis-
charge head.
Wet Grinding
The construction of the end peripheral dis-
charge mill emphasizes the Marcy principle of
grinding. Due to the steep gradient between the
point of entry and the point of discharge the pulp
flows rapidly through the mill providing a fast
change of mill content with a relatively small
amount of pulp within the grinding chamber.
The sloping or conical shaped feed head pro-
es ample space for a feed pocket to accom-
n .odate large quantities of material and assure
their entrance into the grinding rods. Any type
of feeder listed on pages 22 and 23 can be fur-
nished for these mi lis; however, since the mi lis
are not usually operated in closed circuit grinding,
the drum or spout feeder is normally preferred.
The pulp discharge from the mill is collected
by a housing around the discharge ring and may
be directed to either side of the mill or immedi-
ately below the mill centerline.
Dry Grinding
No other type of mill is so well adapted to dry
grinding materials to -4 or -8 mesh in single pass
with the production of a minimum amount of
fines. A major factor in dry grinding is the rapid
removal of finished material to prevent cushioning
of the rods. This is accomplislied in the Marcy
End Peripheral Discharge Rod Mill.
The free discharge feature permits the grind-
ing of material having a higher moisture content
)1;Jan with other types of rod or ball mills. Marcy
ipheral Discharge Mills have found wide appli-
Cdtion in grinding coke and friable non-metallics,
material for glass, pyroborates, as well as gravel to
produce sand. Another application is for grinding
and mixing sand lime brick materials. The rod
action gives a thorough mixture while grinding of
the hydrated lime and sand.
A dust-proof housing is provided to deliver the
finished product underneath the mill. Any type of
feeder can be provided but again the drum or spout
type feeder is preferred.
For specifications of Marcy End Peripheral Dis-
charge Rod Mills use table of standard open end
rod mills given on pages 24 and 25. The capacity
of the end peripheral discharge rod mill is slightly
higher than shown for the Marcy Open End Rod
Mills.
2.8
CENTER PERIPHERAL DISCHARGE
The Marcy CPD (Center Peripheral Discharge)
Rod Mill has been developed to produce sand to
meet U. S. Government or State specifications. It
has also found application in grinding friable n<;>n-
metallics, and industrial materials and ores whtch
tend to slime excessively. Another application is
in the field of " abrasion milling" on ores such as
found on the Mesabi Iron Range. In this latter
application true grinding is not desired, but more
of a surface scrubbing of the individual particles.
Again with this construction grinding may be
done either wet or dry. In this design , however.
feed enters both ends by means of feeders and is
discharged at the center through rectangular dis-
charge ports equally spaced around the mill per-
iphery. The center discharge openings are gener-
ally contained in a separate ring placed between
shell halves. The ground material is discharged and
directed to either side or directly under the mill
by the use of a discharge ring housing.
In standard rod-milling it will be found that
rods spread apart at the feed end in the amount
of the maximum size of feed entering the mill.
In the Marcy center peripheral discharge mill the
rods are spread at both ends and parallel through-
out the length of the mill. This feature results in
more space between the rods and thereby lessens
the amount of fines produced. Furthermore, fines
are also diminished because the material moves
rapidly through the mill due to the steep gradient
of travel and the distance of travel is reduced by
half. Similarly time of contact with the grinding
media is reduced by half.
Another Marcy center peripheral discharge ad-
vantage is that a cubical shaped particle is pro-
duced. Maintenance is negligible and grinding
media is relatively inexpensive. Other types of sand
manufacturing equipment lose efficiency with wear
and require excessive maintenance. This loss of
efficiency increases rapidly as hardness of feed
increases. The Marcy Center Peripheral Discharge
Rod Mill can be easily maintained at peak oper-
ating efficiency by the periodical addition of rods.
Marcy CPD Rod Mills give a wide range of flexi-
bility to sand plant operation. By changing the
rate of feed , pulp dilution (wet grinding), and dis-
charge port area it is possible to produce and blend
sand of virtually any fineness modulus and main-
tain it within Government specifications.
Unlike many crushers or grinders the CPD Mill
can easily handle wet or sticky material. When
grinding wet, the dust nuisance is completely el im-
inated. For dry grinding applications the mill is
furnished with a dust proof discharge housing.
Various items must be considered in computing
the cost of producing manufactured sand. These
include wear on the constituent parts, power con-
sumption, lubrication, labor and general mainte-
nance. Maintenance of the center peripheral dis-
charge mill is definitely much lower than that of
any other sand manufacturing mach ine. The greater
portion of the wear which takes place is on the
inexpensive high carbon steel rods. Field installa-
tions show an average of less than 1 # per ton of
sand ground as rod consumption, and from 0.08#
to 0. 1 0# per ton of sand ground as the steel liner
wear. The overall cost of mill operation, exclusive
- of amortization. is generally less than 30c per ton
(year 1958) .
-
-
Every possible operating convenience has been
incorporated in the Marcy center peripheral dis-
charge mill design. On most sizes the trunnions
are carried in large lead bronze bushed bearings.
The interior of the mill is readily accessible through
these large trunnion openings. The peripheral ring
housing is furnished with a door for inspection and
another lower door to facilitate sampling of the
mill discharge. Covers for the discharge ports are
furn ished allowing any variation in discharge area
which might be desired.
Given below are approximate capacities for sev-
eral sizes of the Marcy center peripheral discharge
mills. Such capacities are expressed in dry tons per
hour , based on _3,4" x 4 mesh screened feed of me-
dium hard gravel. Mill discharge is generally less
than 5 % + 4 mesh in wet open circuit operations.
for dry grinding work reduce the capacities indi-
cated by approximately 30 % to 50 %.

On the previous pages of this catalog we
have discussed grinding in a general way and
have referred numerous times to the Marcy
principle of grinding. To illustrate roughly
this principle, take a certain weight of crushed
grind it with a mortar and pestle until
,I of the ore particles will pass through a
65-mesh screen. Then take a similar sample
but th is time grind for a few minutes and
screen at 65-mesh the finished ma-
ter ial , then ret urn the oversize particles and
grind for anot her short period of time and
repeat the screening operation. You would
find that t he actual net grinding time required
for the second sample is about half the time
required under the first condition. This same
process takes place in the Marcy Grate Dis-
charge Ball Mill. It must be borne in mind
that it is the classifier which determines the
size of the finished product , not the grinding
mill itself. The Marcy Grate Discharge Mill
permits a quick discharge of the finished ma-
terial into the classifier which makes the de-
sired mesh size separation and returns the
particles to the mill for another pass.
Contrary to the usual belief, material does
not discharge through the grates at the bot-
tom. In fact it is carried up in the ball load
so that the greater portion passes out from
the ball load on the upturning side of the
mill , in the grate area from about half way
below the centerline of the mill, on up to
the point where the balls start to leave the
shell on their downward paths. This indicates
then that the thick pulp carried in the mill is
well within the ball mass where the actual
grinding is taking place. The discharge grates
are not to control the size of particle dis-
charged, but merely to retain the grinding balls
within the mill , provide the full discharge area
required, and form the steep gradient between
the feed entrance and product discharge.

FIELD EXAMPLES OF QUICK
DISCHARGE CAINS
To illustrate the comparison of the Marcy grat e
ciischarge Ball Mill to an overflow type of mill we are
showing on page 31 several actual case histories of
installations where the performance of grate discha rge
mills versus overflow mills have been proven. In each
such test, run for long periods of t ime , the ore charac-
teristics and size of feed were ma intained identi cal so
that the tests could be compared under like condit ions.
It will be noted that in each case the grate di scharge
Marcy Mill provided a high increase in tonnage with
a lesser increase in power consumpt ion so that the
actual KWH per ton consumed was reduced. From
these field examples you can verify the previous state-
ment that an overflow type of mill has somewhere
near 70% the capacity of the Marcy grate mill. These
tests were conducted independently by the actual op-
erating companies involved.

Essentially tube mills and pebble mills may be
considered as ball mills, the basic difference being
that the ratio of length to diameter is greater. Usually
the shell length is between 2 and 5 times the diam-
eter. These mills are primarily used to grind various
materials to 100 mesh and finer . The Marcy Tube
Mill uses iron or steel balls as the grinding media , and
~ e r s of various metals and alloys.
Where iron contamination is detrimental such as
in the case of grinding Feldspar for porcelain, Corun-
dum, talc, certain clays, chemicals and glass sand,
a pebble mill is indicated. In such cases the mill is
then lined with silex, granite blocks or porcelain, held
in place by special cements. The general construc-
tion of a pebble mill is much lighter since the load
is much reduced. The horsepower requirement, size
for size, is lower than for a tube mill.
Either type of mill may be operated wet or dry.
In wet grinding the tube mill operates in closed
circuit with a mechanical classifier. In dry grinding
an air separator is used on the finer separations to
classify and return the oversize to the mill. A great
number of these mills will operate in open circuit
on single pass grinding. Feed size is usually limited
to -Ys" in pebble mill grinding and may be increased
slightly to about lh" in tube mill grinding. One of
the main applications is in the regrinding of flota-
tion concentrates prior to further treatment.
The use of grates in these long mills for the pur-
~ s e of increasing the migration of finished product
becoming more and more common. Tests con-
ducted at a Canadian plant have shown 30% to
40% tonnage increase when using grates as com-
pared to an overflow type. L1ttle or no increase
in power or pebble consumption was noticed. Tests
run by Sylvanite Gold Mines in Canada have shown
13% to 25% more -200 mesh produced on a power
basis in a Marcy Grate Tube Mill than produced in
an overflow tube mill. On the basis of mill volume
the grate mill shows 10% to 29% more capacity per
cubic foot than overflow tube mills.
These Marcy Mills are available with a wide
variety of feeders and types of drives. These are
described in more detail on pages 22 and 23. The
general construction of these mills is similar to that
outlined in the section pertaining to Marcy Mill con-
struction.
For special applications these mills can be de-
signed for batch grinding work rather than the nor-
mal continuous grind.

PEBBLE MILL MEDIA AND LINING
The lining for pebble mills may be either stand-
ard types of metallic lining, or for the prevent ion of
iron contamination non-metallic material s can be
used. Such non-metall ic lining material is Jasper.
Silex, or other tough, hard natural stone. A recent
development is the Coors high-strength Alumina ce-
ramic mill lining brick. This has the following char-
acter istics :
Tensile strength-18,000 to 20,000 PSI
Compressive strength-200.000 to 225.000 PSI
Flexural strength--45,000 to 46,000 PSI
Modulus of elasticity-31 ,900.000
Hardness, Moh ' s Scale-9
Specific Gravity-3.4
It is avai lable in 1 Y2" thick plain brick. 1 Y2"
thi ck with lifter bar integral, and 2" thick plain.
Grind ing media may be either pebbles, rock, or
the new development known as Coors Alumina Ce-
ramic hi gh density grinding med ia. The media charged
to a pebble mill should be between 50 % to 55% of
the mill volume. The desirable characteristics of such
grind ing media are that they should be tough, hard .
heavy, and resistant to any chemical action, with the
material to be ground. Pebbl e consumption generally
averages 2# per ton with a wide variation of between
Y2# to 9# per ton. Relat ively smooth lining results
in less media wear, as does maintaining a high cir-
cu lating load.

RECLAIMING METALS
The Marcy Grate Discharge Ball Mill in con-
junction with the Wil fley Concentrating table finds
wide application in foundry practice. This equip-
ment is used for recovering metals from ashes,
slag, clinker, furnace linings and cinders.
In brass foundry applications this combination
has often produced results in recovering 99Y2% of
the metal content in the foundry waste. The Marcy
method is not complex nor expensive--only limited
space is required and operation requires no specially
tra ined personnel.
COKE GRINDING
With the advent of finer grinding of iron
ores. improvements in beneficiating such ores, and
changes in pyrometallurgical treatment of ores
comes the requirement of reducing coke to finer
sizes. Marcy has in essence again pioneered in
th is application and developed the EPD Rod Mill
to solve this problem.
DRY GRINDING
Marcy Open End, End Periphe,al Discharge,
CPD Rod Mills and Grate Discharge Ball Mills are
part icularly efficient for dry grinding. Such ma-
terials as limestone, cement clinker, gravel , phos-
phates, clays, gypsum, oil shale, terra cotta mix-
tures, coal and coke are economically reduced in
size through their use.
Many such applications indicate the use of
open circuit coarse grinding and in such cases the
product will contain only a small amount of over-
size material. Generally such operations are to the
4-20 mesh product size and work is done by the
Marcy Rod Mill.
As product size becomes finer closed circuit
grinding is indicated. Where the finish grind is to
Generally, no preliminary crushing need be con-
sidered since the Marcy Mill will handle material
up to 3 Y2" in size. This feed can be shoveled by
hand into the mill feeder or in larger plants auto-
matic feeding can be used. Water is added with
the feed . The pounding action of the balls within
the mill liberates the metallics from waste. The
coarse and fine metallics are not ground or appreci-
ably reduced in size but are clean and discharge
thru the special Marcy Grate slots out of the mill
and over an integral trommel. The trommel screen
removes the coarse metallics and the fines pass
thru to the Wilfley Table.
Since the waste material is ground to a slime
these fines quickly pass off the table to waste. The
heavier metallics separate out on the table and
move forward to the concentrate zone to be col-
lected. Such concentrates are about 98% pure
suitable for direct melting in a crucible. Operation
is continuous. One man may operate such a plant .
Coke will contain a variable amount of mois-
ture which critically affects the behavior in trans-
porting and actual size reduction within the rod
mill. Moisture content approximating 12% is most
common. Below this the problems are simplified.
Above 12%, moisture can nearly stop a II grinding
action-Marcy experience will guide your engi-
neers in selecting the proper mill for your specific
conditions.
35 mesh or coarser, screens can be used to ad-
vantage. A typical circuit of this type is shown
to the right on page 37. As grinding becomes finer
Marcy Ball Mills are required and closed circuit
operation is generally recommended. Air separa-
tors do the sizing work as shown in a typical cir-
cuit on the left of page 37.
In dry grinding work, principally fine grinding,
size reduction is accomplished predominately by
attrition rather than impact. This is accomplished
by operating such mills at lower peripheral speeds
than under wet grinding applications. Power con-
sumption for any given size mill then is lower al -
though KWH/ton of material treated will be higher
than wet grinding. This reaction is a result of a
differently acting "bed of pulp" and lack of grind-
ing media "coating".
Due to a common "swelling action" of dry
material being ground, the grinding media level is
often reduced to approximately 40-42 % of mill
volume. Dry grinding offers less steel consumption
than its equivalent wet grinding counterpart.

The Marcy principle of grinding is nearly universally
adapted in the cement industry. Grate Discharge
Ball Mills are the rule rather than the exception.
Rod Mills for raw and finish grinding begin to enter
the picture. Larger and larger diameter mills become
common. Lengths tend to shorten. These are in
reality Marcy Firsts-Marcy Pioneering-The
Marcy principles developed in the ore milling indus-
try applied to the cement industry. This experience
plus the years of manufacturing know how unques-
tionabl y qualify Marcy for the Cement Industry.
RAW GRINDING
This phase of grinding may be either the wet or dry
process, the end product going to a kiln. Material
ground consists of limestone, cement rock, marl or
marine shells along with secondary materials usually
shale or clay. A typical raw mix consists of 75-85%
limestone, 12-25% shale, the balance consisting of
silica or quartzite and iron oxide. Exact proportion-
ing is dependent upon their chemical properties be-
fore and after calcining to cement clinker. For good
kiln practice the grind required is 88-92%-200
mesh for standard cement, 99% - 200 mesh for
high early. Uniform kiln feed size helps reduce ten-
dency to form kiln rings.
WET VS. DRY
Wet grinding is generally more efficient and permits
a balanced feed direct to the grinding mill since a
thorough mixing takes place during comminution.
Since dust is not prevalent this hazard is eliminated
and a cleaner plant results. More efficient classifica-
tion is possible although due to high dilutions thick-
eners are required to provide about 65% solids for
kiln feed. Where low cost fuel is available, the extra
heat required during calcining, to drive off water.
is actually less costly than resorting to less efficient
dry grinding.
Improvements in air separators and more efficient
dust collecting systems have minimized some of
these problems to a point where present day costs

ing facilities, Denver, Colorado.
become closely parallel . Only close economic study
can determine which process should be used.
CLINKER GRINDING
Cl inker, the discharge product from the kiln, is par-
tially cooled and broken or crushed to about 3/.J''- 1"
as feed to finish mills. Fineness of grind is depen-
dent upon the type of cement to be produced. Since
fineness of grind falls below standard screen size
accuracy, fineness of grind is determined by use of
a " Wagner" Turbidometer. Desired grind then is
expressed for example as 1750 Wagner. Another
determination is by air permeability surface area
method termed " Blaine". For close approximation
and comparison the two have the following arbi-
trary relation Wagner = Blaine -:- 1.75. An indi -
cation of Wagner in terms of mesh sizes is pro-
vided in the followi ng table:

MILL FORMULAS
To estimate Circulat ing Load of closed circuit operation of Ball Mill and Classifier having tons original feed and
screen analys is of products :
X equals tons classifier sands
T equals tons original feed
D equals % -200 Mesh in mill discharge
F equals % -200 Mesh in classif ier overflow
S equals % -200 Mesh in classifier sands
X = T(F - D )
D-S-
If screen analyses are accurate any other mesh may be used , or better . solve for several meshes and get
average fi gure.

TEMPERATURE
Centigrade-The freezing point of water is 0.
The boiling point of water is 100 . The Cen-
tigrade scale is divided into 100 equal de-
grees between these points.
Fahrenheit-The freezing point of water is 32.
The boiling point of water is 212. The Fahr-
enheit scale is divided into 180 equal degrees
between these points. The same gradation
above or below is used and when tempera-
tures drop below the zero point a minus sign
is pre-fixed. To convert degrees Fahrenheit
into Centigrade subtract 32, then multiply
that figure by 5 and divide by 9. To convert
Cent igrade into Fahrenheit multiply degrees
by 9 and divide by 5 . then add 32.
Reaumur Scale-The freezing ,::oint of water is
0 . The boiling r:;oint of water is 80 . The
Reaumur scale is divided into 80 equal de-
grees between these points. To convert Fahr-
enheit into Reaumur subtract 32 and multiply
that by 4 and divide by 9 . To convert Centi -
grade into Reaumur multiply by 4/5.

CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS
Adequate foundations for any heavy equipment ,
and in particular Marcy grinding mills, are extremely
important to assure proper operation of that equip-
ment . Any slight settling of foundations will cause
bearing and gear misalignment, resulting in excessive
wear and higher maintenance costs. It has been
found that concrete foundations on a weight basis
should be approximately 1 Y2 times the total weight
of the grinding mill with its grinding media.
Allowable bearing pressure between concrete
footings and the soi I upon which the foundation rests
should first be considered. The center of pressure
must through the center of the footing.
. subject to shock should be designed
w1th less un1t pressures than foundat ions for station-
ary loads. High moisture content in soils reduces the
amount of allowa ble pressure that that material can
support. The following f igures may be used for quick
foundation calculat ions:

An accurate determination by experimentation
and close examination should be made to check the
exact soi I characteristics.
Portland cement mixed with sand and aggregate
in the proper proportions has come to be standard
practice in making concrete. For general reference
cem.ent is usually in sacks conta ining one
foot of matenal. A barred usually consists of 4
cu?lc feet . Cement will deteriorate with age and will
qu1ckl y absorb moisture so it should be stored in a
cool , dry place. The sand and gravel used should be
carefully cleaned for best results to be sure of mini-
mizing the amount of sedimentation in that material.
Concrete may be made up in different mixtures
having different proportions of sand and aggregate.
These are expressed in parts- for example a 1 :2:4
mixture indicates one bag of cement, 2 cubic feet
of sand, and 4 cubic feet of gravel . We recommend
a mixture of 1:2:3 for ball mill and rod mill founda-
tions . The proper water to sand ratio should be care-
fully regulated since excess water wi II tend to weaken
the concrete even more than corresponding variat ions
in other material ratios. Between SY2 to 8Y2 gallons
of water to a sack of cement is usually recommended,
!he lov.:-er amount to be used where higher strength
IS requ1red or where the concrete will be subject to
severe weathering condit ions.
