The Rod Mill is the same as the Ball Mill in the construction and available to both of wet and dry processing. Unlike the Ball Mill, however, the Rod Mill uses rods instead of balls as the grinding medium. As a result, its uses are different from those with the Ball Mill. In other words, the Rod Mill gives impact on and grinds coarse particles present between each rod, while no fine particles receive impact and are ground. Therefore, the Rod Mill causes no excessive grinding, enabling you to produce products of relatively sharp particle size distribution curve. 

Features

1) Peripheral Discharge Type

1. Wet grinding type (E.P.D. type and C.P.D. type)
This type of mills is used to produce products of relatively coarse particles such as fine aggregate for concrete (e.g. sand making). Normally, it is available not only to produce a variety range of products from feeds of less than 20 to 30 mm in diameter to products of some 5 mm or less in diameter but also make adjustments of particles size of natural sand. The rod mills, which have a discharge port in one end of the shell, are called “End Peripheral Discharge Type” (E.P.D. type as per Fig.1), while those having a discharge port in the center of the shell are called “Center Peripheral Discharge Type” (C.P.D. type as per Fig. 2). Materials are fed through one end opposite to the discharge end on the former type and through both ends of the shell on the latter type. The choice of either the E.P.D. type or the C.P.D. type is to be made in accordance with capacity, product particle size, and conditions before and after the system configuration.

2. Dry grinding type (E.P.D. type)
This type of mills is used to produce products of coarse particles of less than 1 to 5 mm in diameter. You are able to run these mills with elimination of troubles such as sticking or bridging as not only pre-mill to the dry-grinding ball mill but also fine grinding mill for wet coke and ores, and others. The E.P.D. type of mills is mainly used for this application.

2) Wet-grinding Overflow Discharge Type (O.F.D. Type)

Generally, this type of mills is used for preliminary grinding step before the grinding by ball mill or grinding with less excessive grinding for gravity classification. The rod and ball grinding methods are used for relatively large products crushed, enabling you to attain the open-circuit crushing method and to drastically cut your crushing costs. Furthermore, you are able to minimize the feed ball size to achieve higher degree of efficiency of ball grinding, which is exceedingly useful for a large amount of grinding. This type of rod mills normally feeds balls of less than 15 to 30 mm in diameter to produce 80% product size 500 to 1000m.

Notes

The rod charging amount shall be limited up to 38% of the mill’s internal volume.

Capacities listed in the above table are based on tests with ores of Wi=15KWH/MT and 80% of 15-mm undersized particles, with wet grinding in closed circuit.
A : Capacities are based on tests with grinding material of 80% of 2-mm undersized particles using the Peripheral Discharge Type Rod Mill.
B : Capacities are based on tests with grinding material of 80% of 0.8-mm undersized particles using the Overflow Type Rod Mill.

Mills are available for inside dia. ‘ length of shell (both in increments of 100 mm) other than those listed above.
