Rod Mill Design & Power Draw
The rod mill motor power is in horsepower at the mill pinion-shaft. For different length rod mills power varies directly as rod length. For difference between new and worn liners increase power draw by 6%, and adjust for bulk density per Table A. Wet grinding rod mills are normally used in minerals processing plants.
What Are the Differences between Dry and Wet Type Ball Mill?
The water can wash away the fine particles in time to avoid over-grinding. The wet ball mill has a low noise, and low environmental pollution. The wet ball mill has a simple transportation device with less auxiliary equipment, so the investment is about 5%-10% lower than that of a dry ball mill.
Effect of ball and feed particle size distribution on the milling
During the grinding process, coarser material (size class 1) break to finer material (size class 2) and (size class 3) which are termed the daughter products, as shown in Fig. 1.A chemical reaction on the other hand can consist of say reactant 'A' forming intermediate product 'B' then proceeding to final product 'C' or a competing reactant 'A' to …
