Abstract: A method and a mill (1) or crushing station (A) for crushing rubble, wherein the crushed material fills the mill discharging hopper (9) for a height (H1) which is higher than the height (H) of a hopper discharging opening (11) so that a continuous material plug (6) is formed which closes said discharging opening (11). The discharging means (2; 17) can be either integrated into the mill discharging hopper (9) or form a separated discharging device (2) which is associated to the mill (1). In operation the plug (6) is continuously removed from the plug bottom and fed to the plug top so that said continuous plug prevents the formation and exhausting of dust. The known dust separation chambers are thus superfluous.
