Crushing is performed by large pendulum that, under the action of the centrifuge power, apply huge pressure to the track
fitted in the base of the mill.
Once the material has been crushed it is transferred to the top of the mill by the air that is circulated by the fan or suction by
a filter located at the bottom.
The material is also classified by the separator configured at the bottom of the crushing process to be created.
In the MS-CYCLONE pendular type of mills, the solid-air separation process occurs in the cycle reduction collector. This is
placed between the pendular mill and the fan, connected by a whole range of tubes: this system is also known as closed cycle.
This process is used in special conditions: for example in the presence of explosive materials or materials with an electrostatic
charge. In the case of the presence of raw materials with a high percentage of humidity, this system may be integrated with a
warm air generator.
In the MS-AIR type pendulars, the crushed material is extracted and collected by a process filter, that subsequently downloads
it to the following stage of the engineering cycle.
This kind of plant is also known as open cycle.
This technique allows for further optimisation of performance of the machine by increasing the final values of production,
especially in the presence of fine particles previously pre-treated. In MS-AIR pendular type mills it is also possible to insert hot
gases into air veins with excellent results in terms of heat yield.

The following example is based on a Manfredini & Schianchi complete raw materials preparation plant with a MOLOMOX
pendular mill and a non M&S process with a rotating track mill which has the same throughput of 30 T/h for the same single
fired ceramic composition.
(*) With a humidity higher than 6 % , the rotating track is not able to handle the composition.
