WEAR ON GRIT CONE

Every time you have the chance of

looking into the mill internals, you
should check all parts in regards to
wear ( especially for the classifier,
louvre and armour ring, tires, and
table liners)

exampl e
 Grit cone shows wear on two levels
in front of each roller. Wear positions
and shapes are similar
 The top level wear is in axis of each
roller
 The bottom level wear is about 50
cm ahead

wear in the top part
 There are 8 supporting tuber. Only
the four ones above the rollers show
wear
