Cell Lab Laboratory Scale Rod Mill [Wet & Dry Grinding, Convertible to Ball Mill]

Cell Lab Laboratory Scale Rod Mill [Wet & Dry Grinding, Convertible to Ball Mill]

Efficient laboratory rod grinding equipment for mineral and material processing

The Cell Lab Laboratory Scale Rod Mill is a versatile and high-efficiency milling system designed for wet and dry grinding of mineral ores, metal oxides, and synthetic materials.
Engineered for research laboratories and small-scale production, it provides uniform particle size reduction for metallurgy, geology, construction materials, coal, and environmental analysis.

Fitted with stainless steel rods as the standard grinding media, this mill produces consistent particle size distribution with minimal contamination.
For added flexibility, the unit can be quickly converted into a ball mill by replacing the rods with grinding balls, offering dual functionality within one compact design.

Key Features

• Wet & dry grinding flexibility – supports both operational modes for versatile laboratory applications.

• Convertible to ball mill – easily switch grinding media between rods and balls depending on material type.

• High-efficiency grinding – stainless steel rods deliver uniform particle reduction with low contamination.

• Durable construction – robust chamber and drive system built for long-term, continuous laboratory operation.

• User-friendly operation – designed for easy sample loading, unloading, and cleaning to streamline workflow.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

Q1: What is the main advantage of a rod mill over a ball mill?
A: A rod mill produces a more uniform particle size distribution with less over-grinding, making it ideal for coarse or intermediate milling.

Q2: Can this rod mill operate in both wet and dry modes?
A: Yes. It is designed to support both wet slurry grinding and dry powder processing, depending on research requirements.

Q3: How do I convert it to a ball mill?
A: Simply replace the rod media with stainless steel balls of the desired diameter—no mechanical modification required.

Q4: What materials can be processed?
A: Suitable for ores, ceramics, minerals, slag, cement clinker, and laboratory composite materials.

Q5: Is the chamber material corrosion-resistant?
A: Yes. The internal chamber and media are made from stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life.
