Mills & Mill Liners
A lot of mining operations do not place a lot of interest in mill linings as they have used a product for years, have a historical life and assume that is the best they can get. However we can do design changes to the liners (at no extra cost) that can change the grind in the mill, increase throughput, and reduce wear points on the shell ends.
