  • Such inclusion of the extremely fine particles represents an undesired and unavoidable useless product of the grinding, which occurs during reduction in the size of a material such as ore, for example, and the transfer and inclusion of such fine particles with the coarse particles which are eliminated should be avoided to the greatest possible extent because these extremely fine particles are not extracted from the entire process and in particular load a mill such as the mill 2 which is included in the installation.
  • the reduction of the extent of inclusion of extremely fine particles in the yield of coarse particles from 12 percent by weight down to 7 percent by weight with the present invention represents a highly important and very significant advance since it becomes possible in this way to reduce the amount of material which is required to be processed in the mill by 10 percent so that the grinding mill itself can be of a smaller size.
