Overflow Rod Mill. Ore discharge refers to the rod mill that the ore is discharged by the ore pulp itself. Unlike the overflow ball mill, which has no neck of hollow shaft at the discharge port, instead, it has a wide aperture trumpet overflow port in the center of discharge port (Fig. 1). In order to avoid pulp splashing and steel rod sliding ...

Quantifying the energy efficiency of fine grinding circuits
In this example, the OWi of the SAG mill was found to be 30% higher than the ball mill, thus suggesting that the SAG mill was less efficient than the ball mill. The apparent inefficiency of SAG mills when using Bond analysis is widely understood to be due to the difference in the slopes of the size distributions.
