The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, ave respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, the respective mullers heing of the same diameter,
same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity,
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amaigamator” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundyed and ten tons to the
same degree Of fineness in the same time.
The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in, the
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly nniform, thus
securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness
of motion to the muller,
bas heen attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor
Uniform wear of the grinding plates
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
or suhstance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfaces intd the quicksilver, thus excluding the possihility of its
hecoming coated with any forei
burmiished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan
Grinder has no equal, and as an Anialgamator no supeérior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use. “
