In 193S the C-E Raymond Bowl M ill cam into the team-power held with design and operating ad vantage that revolutionised previous concept of coal pulverization. It had a wide capacity range. It handled wet coal with great facility. It was rugged, accessible and easily maintained. The mill ran quietly and power consumption was low. In
consequence, the Bowl Mill won immediate and widespread acceptance among plant engineers -- more than a million Ih pr hr of grinding capacity was ordered within five year.
Today, the Bowl Mill with all of it initial ad vantages. offers leveral new improvements, among which the following are of major importance:
O Flat-Bottom Bowl --Increases the response of the mill to load changes by eliminating any inactive area where coal can remain in the mill; also avoids any tendency of heavy, abrasive materiel such as pyrites, to accumulate in the bottom of the bowl,
Q The Whiwer Wheel --a new exhauster wheel design which gTeatly Increases the life of exhauster blades. A shrouded wheel carries heavily constructed "whiszer" blade which bypass a por tion of the air-coal mixture directly to (he exhauster outlet, fn service this has doubled the life of exhauster blades - in some caaea more than doubled it.
$ New, Wear-Resisting Materials --are now being used far ex* hsuster liners and deflectors, resulting in greatly increased life at thesfc ports.
Q Center Feed --where conditions permit, larger Bowl Milt can now be arranged for center feed which asaure* a freer flow of coal to the mill and serves to equalise wear on grinding parts.
Thu* 1940 finds the C-E Raymond Bowl Mill, after more than 10 years at the top of it field, stiU adding refinements in design and materials that make it better than ever before.

The chemical activity of a solid is considerably Increased by a reduction in particle size. Thus the rate of oxidation is Increased as is evidenced by occasional dis astrous dust explosion- The phe nomena of adsorption becomes more important as gases are more easily adsorbed on the surface of the smaller particle.
From the standpoint of health hazards resulting from dust ex posures, the physiological proper ties of du*t vary somewhat with the particle size. It 1b an accepted fact that with exposures to silica dust, the smaller the particle size, the greater the hazard.
