The growth of the horizontal drilling industry has led to a rising demand for drilling mud, especially finer-grit varieties made from barytes, bentonites, and limestone. This presents an ideal application for Bradley Mill and Classification Systems.
Additionally, our mills are widely used across the globe in the production of petroleum coke for fuel
