Flow of materials in rod mills as compared to ball mills in dry systems
At feed rate of 2.8 g/s, rotational speed of the drum 72 rpm, and 40% stirring media filling, the dispersion coefficient was 1.7 cm 2 /s and 0.22 cm 2 /s in the case of using balls and rods as stirring media, respectively. This means that the dispersion in the ball mill is about 8 times that in the rod mill.
