Hi Rich,
We use Bico-Braun’s UA Pulverizer, and have settled on using their 'hardened iron alloy' plates [part nos. UA-85 (stationary) and UA-86 (revolving)] as the best lasting type - they wear more than a factor of two slower than the standard alloy plates so makes up for the higher cost.
Best,
Mark

Hello folks, those of you that use a disc mill for mineral separation work (where you are not concerned about metal contamination), what type of metal plates do you use? Iron or steel and which subtype?
