The act or employment of grinding or passing through a mill; the process of fulling; the process of making a raised or intented edge upon coin, etc.; the process of dressing surfaces of various shapes with rotary cutters. See Mill.
The process of separating the hull or husk and bran from the paddy or rough rice into milled rice and bran-and-chaff.
The grinding or crushing of ore, concentration, and other benefication, including the removal of valueless or harmful constituents and preparation for market.
Process by which uranium is extracted from its ore, usually at the mine site or close by.
A natural softening process in which leather is tumbled in a drum.
The first stage of mineral processing. Ore pieces from the mine are further mechanically reduced in size to maximise efficiency of the concentration process. In general two types of mills are used. Autogenous mills simply tumble the ore to achieve the desired grains size, whilst other mills which use an additional media, such as steel balls or rods to aid milling.
(2) the processing of ore to produce a product.
The process of removing metal with a circular cutter in a milling machine.
The malt is ground into grist to facilitate easier processing.
In brewing, the malt is ground into grist (or meal) to facilitate the extraction of sugars and other soluble substances during the mashing process. The endosperm must be crushed to medium-sized grits rather than to flour consistency. It is important that the husks remain intact when the grain is milled.
The process in which grains are cleaned, hulled, cracked, and sifted in order to break down the seed into the germ, bran, and endosperm.
The process of naturally softening the leather by tumbling it in a drum.
The mechanical removal of the dry parchment skin or the entire dried fruit husk from wet-processed coffee beans.
The grinding of the spine usually about 1/8" in perfect binding
Grinding up the existing road and laying new asphalt
Term used for grinding or crushing grain.
A process during commercial manufacturing where the soap is blended with fragrance, colorants and other ingredients using mechanical rollers.
a process of tumbling leather that softens leather.
a process of reducing broken ore to a size at which concentrating can be undertaken
The process of massaging hides to ensure softness. After hides have been tanned and dyed and finished they are tumbled for several hours to achieve extra softness.
The first step in the brewing process. Barley malt is crushed, not ground, between pairs of rollers in a mill. This separates the husk from the meal body and also fractures the meal body, preparing the malt for mashing.
The procedure where specific areas are ground or adjusted to achieve a specific fit or interface. Also referred to as selective grinding.
Process to extract the uranium from the ore. Ore is crushed to fine sand and treated with chemicals that remove impurities. Uranium concentrate (“yellowcake”) is produced at the mills, and then furthered processed for use in nuclear fuel assemblies.
A chemical and mechanical process mainly used on woollen fabrics which compacts the woven or knitted structure.
Process in which tanned hides are tumbled in rotating drums using a combination of heat and a misting of water to soften the hand or enhance the grain.
Grinding of ore into the fine particles to expose the valuable minerals.
A process in the uranium fuel cycle by which ore containing only a very small percentage of uranium oxide (U3O8) is converted into material containing a high percentage (80 percent) of U3O8 often referred to as yellowcake. See; Yellowcake.
A process of grinding malts down to make it easier for the brewing process to extract the sugars and enzymes.
Term for grain grinding or crushing.
To grind, pulverize, or break down into smaller particles; typically the first step in road resurfacing.
Process in which hides are tumbled in a drum to soften the hand, enhance the grain or increase the suppleness.
Process by which minerals are extracted from ore, usually at the mine site.
A process in which the particle size of the ore is reduced in order to extract the valuable component
1. The process of treating fabric in a fulling mill i.e. fulling. 2. In silk manufacturing the twisting of the filaments into yarn. 3. A grinding process i.e. ball-milling of dyes and pigments.
