Abstract:
A base assembly for a grinding mill includes a first ring having a first mating surface. The base assembly includes a support frame having a second mating surface. The support frame is movably coupled to the first ring. The first mating surface and the second mating surface are in sliding engagement with one another. The base assembly includes a second ring removably coupled to the first ring. The second ring is operable to receive impact forces from grinding members which engage the second ring. The base assembly is operable to dampen vibrations resulting from the impact forces applied to the base assembly.
