ROD MILL APPARATUS

Product Description

Specification:

RODMILL APPARATUS

Rod Mills are horizontal rotatingcylindrical steel chamber of half filled with steel rods of length slightlyless than the length of chamber. The rods are of different diameter. The sizereduction is accomplished by the impact of rods as they fall back after beinglifted by the rotating chamber. Rod Mill is fitted on a sturdy MS frame.

Charging of rods and material is doneby the means of opening provided in the chamber.

The chamber is turning about thehorizontal axis through a reduction gearbox drive through a motor.

The stepped pulley arrangement isdone for moving the Rod Mill at three different speeds.

A revolution counter is provided tofind out the number of turns. Special arrangement is done to free the Rod Millfrom reduction gearbox for charging and discharging the material.
