DENVER (Muleback Type) Ball Mill is built for muleback transportation in 30 and 3
diameters 8inside liners). A 4 Denver 8Muleback Type) Ball Mill is of special design and will be
carefully considered upon request. Man kinds search for valuable mineral often leads him far
away from modern transportation facilities. The potential sources of gold, silver and strategic
minerals are often found by the prospector, not close by our modern highways, but far back in
the mountains and deserts all over the world. The Denver Equipment Company has realized
this fact, and therefore has designed a Denver Ball Mill that can be transported to these
faraway and relatively inaccessible properties, either by the age old 2muleback transportation
system, or by the modern airplane. As a result these properties may now obtain a well-
designed ball mill with the heaviest individual piece weighing only350 pounds.
The prime factor considered in this design was to furnish equipment having a maximum
strength with a minimum weight. For this reason, these mills are made of steel, giving a high
tensile strength and light weight to the mills. The muleback design consists of the sturdy cast
iron head construction on the 30 size and cast steel head construction on the larger sizes. The
flanges on the heads are arranged to bolt to the rolled steel shell provided with flanged rings.
When required, the total length of the shell may consist of several shell lengths flanged
together to provide the desired mill length. Liners, bearings, gears and drives are similar to
those standard on all Denver Ball Mills.
Submission of your problem to the Engineering Department of the Denver Equipment
Company will result in prompt and accurate analysis of the conditions involved, with a
recommended solution to the problem.

BALL MILL,Denver 30
THIS Denver (Convertible) Ball Mill is unique in design and is particularly adapted to small
milling plants. The shell is cast in one piece with a flange for bolting to the head. In converting
the mill from a 30x18 to a 30x36 unit with double the capacity, it is only necessary to
secure a second cast shell ( a duplicate of the first) and bolt it to the original section.
Denver 30Convertible Ball Mills are furnished with scoop feeders with replaceable lips.
Standard mills are furnished with liners to avoid replacement of the shell; however, the mill
can be obtained less liners. This ball mill is often driven by belts placed around the center,
although gear drive units with cast gears can be furnished. A Denver Spiral Screen can be
attached to the discharge.
More complete information can be obtained by writing any Denver Equipment Company
office.
Denver Equipment Company publishes DECO TREFOIL, an exchange of helpful engineering
information designed to improve milling. DECO TREFOIL is published every other month. If

BALL MILL,Denver Batch
TTHIS mill may be used for batch or intermitted grinding, or mixing of dry or wet materials in
the ore dressing industry, metallurgical, chemical, ceramic, or paint industries. The material is
ground and mixed in one operation by rotating it together with balls, or pebbles in a
hermetically sealed cylinder.
The cast iron shell which is bolted to the heads is made with an extra thick wall to give long
wearing life. Two grate cleanout doors are provided on opposite sides of the shell by means of
which the mill can be either gradually discharged and washed, while running, or easily and
rapidly emptied and flushed out while shut down. Wash- water is introduced into the interior
of the mill through a tapped opening in the trunnion. The mill may be lined with rubber, silex
(buhrstone) or wood if desired.
Drivers available are as follows: (1) Motor, V-belts and spur gears; (2) Flat-belt drive through
tight and loose pulleys and spur gears; (3) Flat-belt drive through tight and loose pulleys direct
to trunnion shaft.

BALL MILL, Hardinge Conical
THE Hardinge Conical Ball Mill has been widely used with outstanding success in grinding many
materials in a wide variety of fields. The conical mill operates on the principle of an ordinary
ball mill with a certain amount of classification within the mill itself, due to its shape.
In operations in the field one of the main advantages of this type of ball mill is the structural
strength due to the conical steel ends.
Sizes of conical mills are given in diameter of the cylindrical section in feet and the length of
the cylindrical section in inches. Liners can be had of hard iron, manganese steel or Belgian
Silex. Forged steel balls or Danish Flint Pebbles are used for the grinding media, depending
upon the material being milled.
Various types of drives can be furnished to suit the individual requirements of particular
installations. Let us make recommendations for most efficiently solving your grinding problem.
BALL-ROD MILL, Denver steel head
The Denver steel head ball- rod mill gives the ore dressing engineer a wide choice in grinding
design so that he can easily secure a Denver Ball-Rod Mill suited to his particular problem.
The successful operation of any grinding unit is largely dependent on the method of removing
the ground pulp.
The Denver Ball-Rod Mill is available with five types of discharge trunnions, each type of
discharge trunnions, each type obtainable in small, medium or large diameters. The types of
discharge trunnions are overflow, perforated overflow, return spiral, grate, and peripheral.
Thus the engineer can fit any one of fifteen methods of discharging a ball mill into grinding
problem.
The superiority of the Denver Steel Head Ball-Rod Mill is due to the all steel construction. The
trunnions are an integral part of the cast steel heads and are machined with the axis of the
mill. The mill heads are assured against breakage due to the high tensile strength of cast steel
as compared to that of the cast iron head found on the ordinary ball mill. Denver Trunnion
Bearings are made of high-grade nickel Babbitt.
Denver Steel Head Ball- Rod Mills can be converted into larger capacity mills by bolting an
additional shell length onto the flange of the original shell. This is possible because all Denver
Steel Head Ball-Rod Mills have bearing suitable for mills with length twice the diameter. Head
and shell liners for Denver Steel Head Ball-Rod Mills are available in Decolloy (a chrome-nickel
alloy), hard iron, electric steel, molychrome steel, and manganese steel. Drive gears are
furnished either in cast tooth spur gear and pinion or cut tooth spur gear and pinion. The gears
are furnished as standard on the discharge end of the mill, out of the way of the way of the
classifier return feed, but can be furnished at the mill feed end by request. Drives may be
obtained according to the customers specifications.
Denver Ball- Rod Mills have greater capacity than most mills because the diameters of Denver
Ball- Rod Mills are measured inside the liners, while most mills measure inside the shell.
Additional data gladly furnished upon request.
BALL MILLS, Marcy
THE MARCY Ball has found wide application in wet or dry grinding of materials for industries
uses. It consists of a cylinder mounted on trunions and lined with removable manganese steel
liners. Material feeds in one end, rapidly passes through and is discharged at the other in a
continuous operation. The entire discharge end is fitted with a grate or screen, back of which
are radial lifters or blades which elevate and quickly remove the ground material. This material
rapidly sifts through the grates; the lifters pick it up at once and discharge it out the trunnion,
through which no balls or coarse pieces of material can escape.
The Marcy Mill will take material as coarse as 2
