About the Media Charge_Wear_Rod Mills Spreadsheet ...

Scope :

The Media Charge_Linear Wear_Rod Mills spreadsheet was designed to estimate the Linear Wear Rate Constants for
a rod charge in a Conventional Rod Mill, as a function of its known dimensions and basic operating conditions. Also, the
spreadsheet allows for the calculation of the typical Rod Consumption Rate indicators; that is, gr/ton, gr/kWh, kg/hr or
tons/month.


Theoretical Framework :

See Media Charge_Wear Ball Mills.
