Rod mill is very similar to ball mill except for the use of steel rods as grinding media. Steel rods grind the ore by rolling and rotating in the rod mill. The feeding of rod mill is about 50 mm and the output particle size is between -4 and 35 mesh. Inquiry competitive rod mill price directly from rod mill manufacturers.

Application Fields of Rod Mill

Rod mills are one of the heavy equipment machinerys widely used for mine, cement, silicate products, steel slag, construction materials, refractory materials, fertilizers, glass, ceramics and other materials.

Used for grinding rare metal ore

Rod mill is applied to the gravity separation or magnetic separation plant of tungsten tin ore and other rare metal ores to prevent over-crushing.

In the first grinding stage

The production capacity will be larger and the efficiency will be higher if the rod mill is used for the first stage industrial grinding mill to grind materials from 20~6 mm to 3~1 mm in the two-stage grinding process.

Cone crusher can be replaced for fine crushing

The short-head cone crusher can be replaced by the rod mill for fine crushing in some cases. Rod usage of rod mill is simpler and cheaper than a closed circuit formed by the short-head cone crusher and the sieve when processing 19-25 mm (or even 32 mm) to 6-10 mesh soft ores (especially viscous ores).

Advantages of Rod Mill

Saving power

The rods have a screening effect on the materials in the process of movement, which can make the large particle material be lifted to the high position of each layer and concentrated to the place with strong crushing ability. Therefore, the high work efficiency and the low power consumption is obtained.
