The grit return screw was a crucial part of the milling process, cycling coarse material back to the ball mill after separation. Overhead, the ducting twists and bends through the structure—a later addition, fabricated locally to meet the plant’s needs.
Even with upgrades, the system was relentless, operating around the clock to ensure every last bit of usable material was reprocessed. Now, with the plant silent, the only movement comes from the shifting light filtering through the steel grates above, casting patterns across the dust-covered machinery below.
With its dramatic lines and interplay of shadow and structure, this print captures the mechanical precision and endurance of industrial design.
