WipWare and Tecnoil celebrate more than 25 years of partnership as the Vega family’s Peruvian company marks its 30th anniversary. Their relationship has helped bring fragmentation measurement technology to major mining operations across Peru.
Every operation has a specification they need their material size to be within: Whether it’s ASTM specifications for aggregate operations, key performance indicators for crushers and SAGs, or blast metrics for explosives selection, these standards are crucial in streamlining an operation’s process. For example: an operation in northern Quebec, Canada (if you are looking at […]
WipWare has been in the image analysis business for over 30 years commercially. We’ve seen a wide range of mining and aggregate sites, all with their unique challenges. One thing that stays consistent with every operation is the need to reduce particle sizes to ideal sizes for either the extraction of minerals, or for more […]
Optimizing Blast Predictions with BlastCast in WipFrag Predicting blast fragmentation is a complex process influenced by numerous variables and uncertainties. Achieving optimal fragmentation is essential for controlling costs and enhancing operational efficiency. BlastCast, an advanced blast fragmentation prediction module integrated into WipFrag software, provides a valuable tool for improving blast outcomes. Available as a free […]
Fragmentation analysis is a critical driver of mine performance, profitability, and sustainability. Accurate measurement and control of rock fragmentation from drill and blast to crushing and milling directly influence throughput, energy consumption, equipment wear, and operating costs. WipWare’s fragmentation analysis solutions use advanced image processing and AI-driven technologies to deliver high-quality, real-time particle size distribution […]
The Need for Energy Efficiency Assessment in Blasting In today’s mining and quarrying operations, energy efficiency remains one of the most pressing challenges. Blasting, being the first step in the comminution process, consumes a significant portion of total energy in mineral production. Yet, the true measure of blasting efficiency is not merely how rock is […]
