In terms of breakage mechanisms, while abrasion and impact prevail in ball mills, rod mills are used for their type of preferential grinding over larger particles . In general, in the milling stage, in order to avoid the generation of finer particles, the most desirable effect should be impact and compression, rather abrasion and shear, as ...

Rods in place weigh approximately 400 pounds per cu. ft. and balls in place approximately 300 pounds per cu. ft.. Thus, quantitatively, less material can progress through the voids in the rod mill grinding media than in the ball mill, and the path of the material is more confined.

The way the rubber technology has evolved over the last 30 years, I would tell you that you can use rubber in virtually any ball mill, pebble mill, and most rod mills. In SAG mills the limits are in the size of the mills (larger tend to go to steel) and the top size of the balls (larger tend to go to steel).

Ball mills. Ball mill (Fig 1) is same kind of mill as rod mill, except that it is filled with balls instead of rods. Because of balls have greater ratio of surface area than rods they are more suitable for fine grinding. Balls are also lighter, so the kinetic energy of a single dropping ball is smaller than a rod.

Closed Circuit Grinding VS Open Circuit Grinding. The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier; the flow sheet is shown in Fig. 25 and the actual layout in Fig. 9. This singlestage circuit is chiefly employed for coarse grinding when a product finer than 65 mesh is not required, but it can be ...

SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media, while AG mills use only the ore itself. Both types of mills are used for grinding ore in mineral processing operations, but SAG mills are larger in size and can grind larger quantities of ore. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...

These differences between steel balls and steel rods can be measured by: Ball mill has a strong adaptation of material, and it is suitable for grinding hard materials, such as slag, iron ore, copper ore, etc. Rod mill is suitable for grinding brittle material, such as rare metals. The steel ball and the mineral material are in point contact, so ...

Ball and Rod Mills. JeanPaul Duroudier, in Size Reduction of Divided Solids, 2016. Operation principle. The ball mill is a cylindrical drum (or cylindrical conical) turning around its horizontal axis. It is partially filled with grinding bodies: cast iron or steel balls, or even flint (silica) or porcelain bearings.

The dominant mechanisms of comminution are very different in the two tests (the crushing test is mostly measuring impact crushing strength of fractures in the rock, whereas the ball mill test is measuring the abrasion strength of the matrix of a rock and the attrition resistance of individual grains within the rock).

These can be rod mills which are suitable for relatively coarse grinding, and ball mills which are practically capable of grinding down to finer sizes. Both types use a rotating shell containing either rod or ball shaped grinding media, which are lifted and dropped as the mill rotates, grinding the charge down with impact and attrition forces ...

Autogenous grinding is favored when the ore is quite competent and a fine grind is required. Semiautogenous grinding is applied when fine crushing could cause severe problems or when ore is variable in hardness or competency.

What's the Difference Between Ball Mill, Rod Mill and SAG Mill? There are several classification methods for grinding machines. Among them, the more commonly used one is to divide them according to different grinding media: whose media is metal balls is called the ball mill, steel rods the rod mill and the ore itself the autogenous mill (AG mill).
