Bond Work Index Tests - Grinding Solutions Ltd
Bond Rod Mill Grindability Test. Grinding Solutions can carry out Bond Rod Mill Work Index tests to determine the energy requirements for milling ore in a rod mill. The test requires a minimum of 20kg of -12.5mm material. Closing screen sizes typically range from 4.75mm to 212µm. Abrasion Index Test
Rod Mill - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Bond had used short tons to determine work index. To convert to metric tons the factor 1.1 has been used here, (62 × 1.1 = 68.2). 2. W i conforms to the motor output on an average overflow rod mill of 2.44 m internal diameter, wet grinding in open circuit.

Bond Rod Mill Index Test | JKTech
Measuring ore grindability in rod mills. The Bond Rod Mill Work Index is a measure of the resistance of the material to grinding in a rod mill. It can be used to determine the grinding power required for a given throughput of material under rod mill grinding conditions. It is a locked cycle test conducted in closed circuit with a laboratory screen. Sample Requirements: A minimum of 20 kg of ...

Testwork: Bond rod mill work index - …
The Bond rod mill work index is not as common as the Bond ball mill work index, and there are two different variations on the mill apparatus. The SAGMILLING.COM models expect a mill with a "wave liner", and is not compatible with mills using "smooth liners". Most laboratories outside of Australia use the wave liner style of machine – these results can safely be used in the models. Bond rod ...

Rod Mills, How Do They Work? - Mine …
Rod Mills, How Do They Work? Rod mills are very similar to ball mills, except they use long rods for grinding media. The rods grind the ore by tumbling within the the mill, similar to the grinding balls in a ball mill. To prevent the conditions leading to rod charge tangling, the length to diameter ratio is maintained at 1.4 to 1.6. Rod mills accept feed up to about 50 mm (2 in.) and produce a ...
Tubular Rod Mills - ScienceDirect
The rod mill feeds a wet ball mill at a feed size of 1.0 mm (1000 μm) and produces a product with 80% passing a 150 μm screen. The rod mill is in an open grinding circuit. Determine: 1. the shaft power of the rod mill, 2. the size of the industrial mill. Data: Laboratory Standard Bond Test: Rod Mill: Grindability index at 10 mesh = 13.5 kWh/t ...
