WipJoint is Back and Better Than Ever! We’re excited to announce the newest update to WipFrag 4 – bringing back and modernizing one of our most powerful features: WipJoint. WipJoint was originally part of WipFrag 2.7, but never reached the full functionality we wanted for it due to limitations with what software and camera hardware […]

What happens to your blast fragmentation when you have excessive inter-row distance (burden)? Introduction – Excessive Burden According to Prasad et al. (2017), rock fragmentation size is a very important parameter for an economical point of view in any surface mining. Excessive inter-row distance, often referred to as an increased burden in blasting operations, can […]

Excessive burden in blasting refers to having too much rock mass in front of the blast holes. This is relative to the designed blast parameters. The burden is the distance between a blast hole and the free face. If this distance is too large, it can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the blasting […]

A Quick Summary on WipFrag version 4 and its New Features Overview Mining is the extraction of valuable materials called ore or sometimes industrial minerals from the earth crust, using appropriate technology with the aim to provide raw materials for industrial use. The materials exist in massive form and must therefore be broken into handable […]

One of the most common questions we receive is, “How small can you analyze?” The answer depends on multiple factors, but with the right imaging, WipWare’s systems can measure down to micron levels.

WipWare’s fragmentation analysis technologies have been widely applied across various mining operations to solve critical challenges. These were associated with material flow, fragmentation consistency, energy use, and overall process efficiency. I came across Tom Palangio‘s works on numerous case studies highlighting the effectiveness of WipWare‘s tools. These tools optimized blasting practices and downstream processing. This […]
