- 2Processes: Foundries melt and cast metal into specific shapes while mills grind or crush materials into smaller particles or pieces.
- 3Products: Foundries produce metal goods or components while mills produce finished products, such as flour, lumber, or fabric.
- 4Equipment: Foundries use furnaces, molds, and casting machines while mills use grinders, crushers, and saws.
- 5Industry: Foundries are primarily associated with the metalworking industry while mills are associated with various industries, such as food, lumber, or textile.
Remember this!
Foundry and mill are both industrial facilities that involve manufacturing processes. However, the difference between foundry and mill lies in the materials they work with, the processes they use, and the products they produce. Foundries specialize in melting and casting metal into specific shapes and components, while mills grind or crush materials into smaller particles or pieces to produce finished products for various industries.
