Also any good information about cage mill.

Hello,

I have found a link with a picture of a cage mill (see the cage pins on page 3 of 4): http://www.stedman-machine.com/pdfs/H-Mill_Brochure.pdf. The cage mill has spins in two directions.

Here is an example of a hammer mill: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.miningbasics.com/assets/images/Hammer_Mill_Crusher.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.miningbasics.com/hammermill-picture&h=1139&w=934&sz=154&tbnid=UjN_IPgaY2u3YM:&tbnh=248&tbnw=203&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhammer%2Bmill%2Bpicture&zoom=1&q=hammer+mill+picture&hl=en&usg=__jyTsgwD4WA_YmYWnqBUa7h18w6M=&sa=X&ei=Kir3TMWeLY-isAOYkqWGAg&ved=0CCEQ9QEwAQ The Hammer Mill has one part of the equipment moving, while the other is stationary.

Although the two mills have the same result, they perform milling in a different way.

I hope this helps,

Eugene
