Patent disintegrator mills patent fan blower.
CARR'S PATENT DISINTEGRATOR MILL, for disintegrating and mixing conglomerated phosphates, guano, chemicals, etc. Also for pulverising bone ash, boiled bone, chemical crystals, coal, and other unfibrous or brittle materials. Also for mixing purposes, such as converting brown sugars of various shades into one uniform sample. Price,
Without external wood casing £60
With external casing complete £64
This machine, which requires about 6 horse-power to drive it, is warranted thoroughly to break up, pulverise, and perfectly mix from 30 to 40 tons per day, of either hard and dry, or soft and damp conglomerated phosphate, guano, etc. without any inconvenience from becoming clogged or choked in the operation.
When applied to pulverise bone ash, or boiled bone, no mill driven by the same power can at all approach it in rapidity, as from 60 to 70 tons a day of these materials have been reduced by it to a powder, varying from dust up to the size of rice. For mixing purposes alone the machine has also given great satisfaction at sugar works, and other manufactories.
A small machine, capable of being worked by hand as well as by power, chiefly for mixing purposes, is also manufactured. Price, with iron casing, complete, £21.
Further information may be obtained either from the patentee, Thomas Carr, New Ferry, near Birkenhead, or from the manufacturers, Messrs. Richmond and Chandler, Salford, Manchester, either of whom will forward, on application, an illustrated circular, fully explaining the details and principles of the machine.
