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 […]

How Low Can you Go? 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. However, when analyzing material on conveyor belts, additional considerations impact the minimum particle size that can be […]

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 works on numerous case studies highlighting the effectiveness of WipWare Inc. tools. These tools optimized blasting practices and downstream processing. […]

WipWare proudly celebrates 30 years of innovation from a dusty DOS computer to AI-powered, real-time fragmentation systems. WipWare has been at the forefront for fragmentation analysis. Thirty years of transforming how the world sees and measures particle size. The Beginning From humble beginnings to global impact, we’ve come a long way. This year, we’re celebrating […]

Introduction Part 1 Efficient drilling and blasting design is fundamental to achieving optimal rock fragmentation, cost control, and downstream productivity. The first step in designing an effective blast is selecting appropriate geometrical parameters based on rock properties, explosive characteristics, and site-specific conditions. This article introduces initial design ratios that can be used as first approximations […]

Introduction In the field of mineral processing and comminution (crushing and grinding), accurate size analysis is essential for optimizing the performance of crushing circuits and downstream processing units. Effective rock breakage using explosive energy requires a well-optimized blast design to ensure the energy is directed into the rock mass for maximum fragmentation and minimal waste. […]
