PATENT AMALGAMATOR.,.
These Machines Stand Unrivaled.
For rapldly pulverizing and amalganiating ores, they
have nocqual. Noelort has been, or willbe, spared to
have them constructed In Ihe nest perleet manner, and of
the great number now In operation, tot one has ever reulred repairs, The constant and Increasing demand for
thein 1s sulficlent evidence of thelr merits.
They ore constructed so nsto apply steam direetly Into
the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired.
This Amaigamator Operates as Follows:
The pan being filled, tho motion of the muller forces the
pulp io the center, where it ls drawn down throngh the Bu:
erture and between the grinding suriaces. Theuce It is
thrown to the pertphery {nto the quicksilver. The curved
plates ayain draw It to tho’center, where It passes down,
aud tothe cireumference as before. Thus ltis constantly
assing In a regular flow between the grinding surlaces and
nto the quicksilver, until ie ore 1s reduced to an lmpalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated.
Sctlurs mude on the same prigcipnlo excel all others.—
They bring the pulp so constantly and perfectly In contact
witi quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and eom
pictoly absorbed.
