Mill liners fill a basic role: to protect your mills from the intense
wear and tear that comes from grinding down hard, raw
materials. But even if they all do the same job, not all mill liners
are created equal. From the abrasion resistance of rubber to the
impact resistance of steel, different material parts offer different
advantages. FLSmidth supplies the full range of mill liners
