(under the class definition) Processes in which the step of comminuting the material is combined with process steps for other purposes and not provided for above.
(1) Note. The combined steps are in addition to the steps of feeding and/or discharging the material from the comminuting zone, controlling the flow to, through or from the comminuting zone, additional comminuting or disintegrating steps, and altering the atmospheric pressure within the comminuting zone.
(2) Note. In this subclass, for example, will be found comminuting steps combined with steps of adding material to the feed to clean the comminuting surfaces, or steps of polishing the comminuted particles.
(3) Note. All preceding subclasses must be investigated for particular combinations within this definition but which are specifically provided for above.
(4) Note. See the class definition for combinations of comminuting steps with steps of other types that are provided for in other classes.
