The Laboratory XMQ Conical Rod Mill is a specialized equipment designed for fine grinding experiments of ores. It is widely used in laboratory research across various industries, including metallurgy, geology, chemicals, and building materials. This unit combines the functions of both rod and ball milling, supporting both wet and dry grinding processes. It ensures efficient and uniform ore crushing, minimizes over-grinding, and improves the accuracy of experimental data.

Structure and Working Principle

The conical rod mill mainly consists of a cylinder, feed inlet, discharge outlet, motor, and transmission system. The cylinder is typically made of ductile iron, with one end open and the other connected to a hollow journal. Both ends are supported by idler wheels and main bearings, respectively. During operation, the motor drives the cylinder to rotate via a belt, causing the steel rods or balls to impact and grind the ore under centrifugal force.

A unique feature of this equipment is its adjustable support plate, which can be rotated 180° to facilitate loading, discharging, and replacing grinding media. The discharge outlet is sealed with a rubber gasket to prevent slurry splashing, and it is equipped with a slurry collection cover to maintain a clean operating environment.

Applications and Advantages

The laboratory conical rod mill is suitable for ore processability studies, artificial heavy sand grinding, and other experiments. Compared with traditional ball mills, the rod mill produces a more uniform particle size distribution with less over-grinding, thereby enhancing the accuracy of mineral processing experiments. Moreover, the equipment is easy to operate, with electric control for feeding and discharging, and an LCD screen that displays operational parameters, ensuring a high level of automation.

Thanks to its compact structure and no need for fixed foundations, the laboratory conical rod mill is easy to relocate and install, making it adaptable to various experimental environments. Its low noise and low pollution features also align with the environmental requirements of modern laboratories.
