Rod mill is loaded by the cylinder body named grinding medium for steel bar, rod mill is usually adopts wet the overflow type. Rod mill are very similar to ball mill, except they use long rods for grinding media.

The rod mill is a kind of high-efficient energy-saving crusher and sand maker, its energy consumption is 50% less the traditional sand-making equipment, and it is a kind of advanced sand-making equipment in the world.
 

To prevent the conditions leading to rod charge tangling, the length to diameter ratio is maintained at 1.4 to 1.6.Rod mill accept feed up to about 50 mm and produce a product in the size range of 3000 to 270 mm (4 to 35 mesh).

Rod mill is widely applied in metal and nonmetal mine, water conservancy, glass and construction materials industries, mainly suitable for grinding various ores and rocks and artificial sand-making. Selects the ball mill or choose rod mill, must according to the actual situation.

The rod mill is especially applicable for the fine and middle crushing of such hard and fragile materials as sand for building (to crush such raw materials as the blue stone, limestone, scree and granite boulder into sand for building), abrasive materials, corhart, cement, quartz sand, steel sand, slag, powdery copper ore, iron ore, gold sand, aggregate of concrete and pitch and so on.

Advantages of rod mill

— Wide application range

Rod Mill has wide application range, its performance has reached the international advanced level, and it is the most effective, practical, and reliable sand-making equipment at present.

— High-efficient  and energy-saving

Than the old type of equipment to save more than 40% power.The particle size is uniform, with coarse particles and less slime.

— High yield

Using advanced controlled import and export rod mill technology, combined with the actual grinding materials, the output of a more uniform grain size, higher yield.
