In general, vertical sand mills can use common grinding media with sizes ranging from 0.1 to 2 mm, while horizontal sand mills typically use grinding media in the range of 0.3 to 2mm.

Typically R = 8. Rod Mill Charge: Typically 45% of internal volume; 35% – 65% range. Bed porosity typically 40%. Height of bed measured in the same way as ball mills. Bulk density of rods = 6.25 tons/m3. In wet grinding, the solids concentration 1s typically 60% – 75% by mass. A rod in situ and a cutaway of a rod mill interior.

First, set up the test roll in your machine. Measure the ends and middle of the roll or the profile of the roll, using the end or middle for diameter reference. Test the first wheel; measure the wheel diameter before the test grind. After the grind cycle has been set, run several short cycles and record the data.

The equation for Rittinger's Law can be written as: E = K R f c (1/L 2 – 1/L 1) Where: E=Energy, K R =Rittinger's Constant, f c =crushing strength of the material, L 1 =initial length, and L 2 =reduced length. Kick's Law states that the energy is proportional to the size reduction ratio. The equation for Kick's Law can be written as:

There are three types of grinding media that can be used in ball mills of cement plants. 1. Steel Balls. Steel balls are one of the most widely used grinding media in cement ball mills, their diameters can range from 20mm to 120mm according to different grinding requirements. In a cement ball mill, generally, φ50–100mm steel balls are used ...

In this theory, new material characteristics have been added: the surface and volumetric density of grinding energy. The thermodynamic theory is a combination of the classical Kick's theory and the modified form of Rittinger's theory. The tested physical magnitudes are a measure of the energy consumption of the grinding process.
