Rod Mill Operations. Designed to accept feed from a secondary crusher. Feed particle size = 6 25 mm. Peripheral speed = 85 146 m/min (280 480ft/m in) Reduction ratio = 2 20 depending on material. Typically R = 8. Rod Mill Charge: Typically 45% of internal volume;
In this paper the effects of flow rate, slurry solid content and feed size distribution on the rod mill efficiency have been investigated. It is difficult to achieve highest grinding efficiency
JeanPaul Duroudier, in Size Reduction of Divided Solids, 2016. Performance. Rod mills are used in an open circuit between crushing and the ball mill. They often operate in wet and where the pulp contains up to 50% solid by mass. This machine is equally very applicable to dry where it could take a feed that has achieved 6% moisture.
Optimization of mill performance by using online ball and pulp measurements Soon after a stop, a mill is a dangerous place to enter for the personnel tasked with taking measurements or samples. Crash stops are difficult to handle. The mill and all feed streams should be stopped simultaneously but, often, they are stopped around about the same time.
Rod mills accept feed up to about 50 mm (2 in.) and produce a product in the size range of 3000 to 270 mm (4 to 35 mesh). Grinding action is by line contact between the rods extending the length of the mill.
#0183;#32;The effects of mill feed size reduction on wet rod grinding has been studied by Strohl [2]: when the percent passing 13 mm in the mill feed was increased from 84% to 98% in rod grinding, the fineness of ground products increased from 85% to 94% passing mm, while there was a 10% increase in mill capacity and a 15% decrease in wear of the rods.
In Grinding, selecting (calculate) the correct or optimum ball size that allows for the best and optimum/ideal or target grind size to be achieved by your ball mill is an important thing for a Mineral Processing Engineer AKA Metallurgist to do. Often, the ball used in ball mills is oversize just in case. Well, this safety factor can cost you much in recovery and/or mill liner wear and

The first step in slag processing is size reduction to liberate metallic iron and ironbearing minerals. This is done by crushers or by autogenous grinding, that is, the slag is ground on its own in the grinding mill without any balls. The latter process yields higher quality product as the iron product discharged from grinding mill contains as high as 80% Fe (Shen and Forssberg, 2003).
SKIOLD Disc mills are suitable for grinding of many different types of raw materials, including pellets with a diameter of up to 12 mm. One of the advantages of the SKIOLD Disc mill is that it#180;s possible to vary the grinding degree during operation, and thereby optimize the feed
and optimal grinding charge trajectory for the SAG, Ball and Rod Mills. Identified potential benefits could be obtained with an ideal grinding media charge, mill speed as well as optimisation of lifter profile (specialty lifter face 20 angle) which is directly related with mill power draw, internal motion of mill

Importance of Particle Size Feed particle size should be maintained from 650 to 750 microns. Greater particle size results in poorer feed efficiency Every 100 microns greater than optimal results in approximately 65 cents additional feed costs per pig (Kansas State University) If a producer takes feed particle size from 1000 to 700
2010; 2011). For each grain size there is an optimal ball size (Trumic et. al., 2007). The bigger ball in relation to the optimal one will have an excess energy, and consequently, the smaller ball mill has less energy necessary for grinding. In both cases, the specific power consumption increases and the grinding capacity decreases
