Course Details
Rod Mills can accept feed up to approximately 25 mm and are generally selected to grind products in the 4 mm to +0,5 mm range. Grinding action is by line contact between rods which extend the length of the mill. Rod Mills are usually operated in open circuit. Most rod mill applications involve wet grinding where material is reduced in size from crusher product size to a size suitable for ball mill feed. To avoid breakage or tangling of rods, the L/D ratio of rod mills is kept within the limits of 1, 3/1 to 2/1.
We supply the three most common rod mill types:
- Overflow
- End peripheral
- Center peripheral discharge
