[edit] Merge

I think that this article and grinder (milling) should be merged since they appear to be the same thing. -- Kjkolb 12:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


As someone that works with Mills I think that is a good idea. I think it would be closer to commonly used terminology if you went with the title Mill (Grinding) as no one I am aware of calls them "grinders". Hope to maybe oneday update this section on Minerals Processing. 121.44.125.54 14:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

This stuff definitely needs merging and more detail needs to be added. Recommend we use the Mill (grinding) as the main and use the Grinder (mill) as a redirect. Chris 21:20, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Done - Soime one appears to have undertaken the suggested merge. Thank you. Peterkingiron 16:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scope of article

Some of the cross-references at the end appear to sit incongruously alongside the content. I do not quite see where grinding between two millstones (as in a conr mill) or under an edge runner as in an olive or cider mill fit inot the pattern described. Could some one please think about this? Peterkingiron 16:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Two images of a groundwood grinder available at Commons. Failed to understand whether they fit the format of the article (I am not an ingeneur), so I place them here meanwhile. Alexei Kouprianov 14:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
