Mining & Mineral Processing

Mining fragmentation analysis from blast to mill using particle size, shape, volume and colour data collected in the field, from vehicle loads and continuously on conveyors.

Mining fragmentation and particle measurement across the value chain

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—from benches and vehicle loads to crushers, conveyors and process circuits. Together, WipFrag, रिफलेक्स तथा सोलो create a consistent measurement chain from pre-blast assessment through mineral processing.

Common use cases

Rock face assessed with WipJoint before blasting

Pre-blast rock-mass characterization

Use WipJoint within WipFrag to measure joint orientation, spacing, persistence, RQD and in-situ block size from bench-wall or highwall images. This geological context helps teams understand the conditions influencing fragmentation before evaluating blast results.

Blast fragmentation assessment and optimization

Mining fragmentation analysis measures particle size distribution, shape, oversize and fines from muckpile, scaled field or UAV imagery. Compare benches, blast designs, explosives, timing and geological conditions, then use measured results to refine future blasts and benchmark performance.
Fragmentation measurement across blasting, haulage and mineral processing

Mine-to-mill measurement and continuous improvement

Connect on-demand WipFrag measurements with load-by-load Reflex results and continuous Solo data. Comparing evidence across stages helps operations determine where variability begins, verify operational changes and close the improvement loop between blasting, crushing and processing.
