F Dry locations require less
maintenance.
F Ambient conditions are favorable at
the top of the mill.
F Can economically update existing
disk-shaped cell installations.

designed to fit beneath rocker
block at bottom of mill.
F Provides integration of line load
from rocker block with no need for
line distribution plates.
