Roller Mill Size and production
This looks like a 10 ton per hour roller mill using 6 pound shot. What this worker is doing removing the shot with the ground up ore clinging to the shot. It is an extremely dangerous job with the shot hanging on the wall of the roller mill. Current price of shot this size is about $30.00 per shot. The price of the mill is about $50,000.00.
