Product Description
California Pellet Mill (CPM) pellet mills were installed across U.S. commercial feed mills to press mash into pelletized livestock and poultry feed. According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, the main-drive friction clutches and brake facings allegedly contained asbestos friction material chosen for the heavy start-up loads and high-inertia flywheels typical of pellet mill service. Adjustment, replacement, and grinding of these facings allegedly released respirable asbestos fibers.
