GRINDING STAFFORDSHIRE CLAYS
THREE pairs of hungry rollers, ar
ranged vertically above each other, receive the properly weathered and mixed clays from an automatic feeder (the only one of its kind in Staffordshire) through a hopper in the floor above the grinding mill.
At the top of the mill are the kibblers, or grab rollers, for seizing the mixture and giving it a preliminary crush before passing it on to the other rollers, the last pair of which is so closely set that after the grinding process, the clay resembles thin, irregular pieces of chocolate.
The great feature of the grinding mill illustrated above is the different speeds of each of the last four rollers, which produce a tearing as well as a grinding action, thus ensuring the proper disintegration of the clays.
This is another of those carefully planned stages of production which are responsible for the par excellence of all ‘Triton products—a catalogue and price list of which can be obtained from Wheatly & Co., the sole manufacturers.
Trade Mark BCM/Triton.
