Sauvamyllyissä

Sauvamyllyissä refers to a type of mill that utilizes a rotating shaft or pole to grind materials. The term can be translated loosely as "rod mill" or "shaft mill." These mills are characterized by their cylindrical shape and the presence of one or more rotating rods or shafts inside.

The primary function of a sauvamylly is to reduce the size of solid materials through impact and attrition. As the shaft rotates, it causes the material to tumble and collide with the rods, as well as with itself. This process breaks down larger particles into smaller ones. The effectiveness of the grinding depends on factors such as the speed of rotation, the size and material of the rods, and the feed rate of the material being processed.

Sauvamyllyissä are commonly employed in various industrial applications, particularly in the mining and mineral processing industries. They are often used for grinding ores, coal, cement clinker, and other hard materials. The choice of using a sauvamylly over other types of mills, such as ball mills or rod mills, is often based on the desired particle size distribution, the specific properties of the material being processed, and the operational efficiency. These mills can be designed to operate in either wet or dry grinding conditions.
