Coarse grinding using a lab rod mill (3 replies and 2 comments)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
I have to grind a ore sample (1 kg at -6 mesh) to 80% passing 300 microns using a lab rod mill. However, I am getting inconsistent results. For a set time to achieve 300 microns determined from the grind curve, sometimes I get finer than 300 microns and other times it is coarser. For the same grinding time I also get 80% passing 300 microns. I am puzzled. For a given grind time the mill should provide the same grind size. However, in my case, the 80% passing differs. Any thoughts?
