Spanish term or phrase: filas de levantadores
Hola, espero que alguien por ahí esté trabajando aún (aunque no por mucho tiempo tampoco)
Ok, el contexto es:

Logrado el objetivo y con mediciones de aumento de tratamiento de mineral del orden del 30%, una serie de molinos semiautógenos presentes en plantas mineras de Sudamérica optaron por similares cambios de configuración del revestimiento. Sin entrar en mayor detalle en cuanto a los cambios geométricos presentes en estas nuevas configuraciones, el factor común presente en los cambios efectuados en los molinos corresponde a la disminución en el número de filas de levantadores que conforman el cilindro.

Agradecería su ayuda, pues desconozco cómo usar filas en este contexto. Levantadores, es liftings acá...
¡¡Feliz Navidad!!

lifting plates
Explanation:
Less of a guess than my previous answer that I hid...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(grinding)
"A rotating drum throws large rocks and steel balls in a cataracting motion which causes impact breakage of larger rocks and compressive grinding of finer particles. Attrition in the charge causes grinding of finer particles. SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length. The inside of the mill is lined with lifting plates to lift the material inside up and around the inside of the mill, where it then falls off the plates and falls back down."
