Mining fragmentation analysis helps operations understand how blast results and changing feed conditions affect excavation, haulage, crushing, conveying, grinding and downstream processing. WipWare measures particle size, shape, volume and colour at points where the data supports operational decisions\u2014from benches and vehicle loads to crushers, conveyors and process circuits.
