Differs from other mills in that the material is not ground against a hard surface. Instead, a gaseous medium is introduced.

The high turbulence causes the particles and feed material to collide and grind upon themselves.
Industry:Mining
Digging in undisturbed soil, as distinguished from rehandling stockpiles.
Industry:Mining
