Introduction of Four Kinds of Grinding Equipment

01Grinding Equipment One: Rod Mill

1. Application of rod mill:

Rod mill adopts the advanced controllable feeding and discharging technology, and uses the suitable grinding medium by combining with the actual grinding material. It changes the traditional face-to-face contact into line-to-line contact, which makes the particle size more uniform, and the yield higher. So, the rod mill is widely used in those industries who have high requirements on grinding result, such as refractory material, chemical industry, metallurgy, glass.

2. Working Process of rod mill:

The cylinder of rod mill is fitted with the suitable grinding medium- steel rod. Under the action of centrifugal force and friction force, the grinding medium is lifted to a certain height then falls down in a state of throwing or discharging. The materials are continuously sent into the cylinder from the ore feeding port, then crushed by the moving grinding medium, and discharged by the overflow and the continuous ore feeding.

02Grinding Equipment Two: Energy-saving ball mill

1. Structure of energy-saving grid ball mill:

Energy-saving grid ball mill design consists of feeding part, discharging part, rotary part, transmission part (reducer, small gear, motors, electrical control) and other major parts. The hollow shaft is steel castings, and the liner is detachable. Rotary gear is processed by casting hobbing. The cylinder is lined with the wear-resistant liner plate with good resistance to wear. This machine works stably.

03Grinding Equipment Three: Grid type ball mill

1. Advantages of grid type ball mill:

• Fast discharging speed, which can reduce the over crushing problem and increase per unit capacity;

• The discharging port of grid ball mill adopts cone design, which not only increases the volume, but also forces the classification of the steel ball at the end of the cone. The closer to the discharging port, the smaller the diameter of the steel ball is, which increases the effect of repeated grinding and further improves the fineness of the material;

• The grid type ball mill adopts the grooved ring-type lining plate, which increases the contact surface between steel ball and ore, strengthens the grinding effect and reduces the power;

• The particle size of grid type ball mill should be 0.2 ~ 0.3mm, so it is commonly used in the first stage grinding. What's more, the grid type ball mill can timely discharge the qualified products, reduce the over-crushing. Its processing capacity is about 15% higher than the overflow type ball mill with the same specifications. If the particle size needs to be ground to 48 ~ 65 mesh, the grid type ball mill is better.

04Grinding Equipment Four: Overflow type ball mill

1. Advantages of overflow ball mill:

• The jack-up device, easy maintenance;

• The hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings ensure the smooth operation;

• Low-speed transmission is easy for starting and maintenance;

• The oil-mist lubrication device guarantees reliable performance of bearings;

• The gas clutch adopts the flexible start-up model.

2. Application of overflow ball mill:

Overflow type ball mill is usually used for fine grinding of mineral materials. Generally, it formes a two-stage closed circuit grinding system with grid type ball mill.
