A Rod Mill is a type of grinding mill used to break down materials into smaller pieces. It primarily uses long steel rods as the grinding medium, which are placed inside a rotating cylinder. As the cylinder turns, the rods tumble and grind the material, making it suitable for various applications in the mining and construction industries. Rod mills are often used in the processing of ores and minerals, where they help produce finer particles. They are particularly effective for grinding materials that require a uniform particle size, such as in the production of copper, gold, and iron concentrates.
