Abstract
A mill for pumping and grinding solid particles in a fluid medium. The particles are circulated by centrifugal forces that result from rotational movement imparted to freely rolling balls or rollers about a powered circular race assembly. The balls or rollers ride along axially spaced shoulders on the ball race assembly. Apertures between the shoulders provide fluid circulation from the area in which the balls or rollers are located to the exterior of the ball race assembly.
