Blasting and fragmentation are critical operations in mining and quarrying, significantly influencing downstream processes such as loading, hauling, and crushing. At the core of successful blasting lies a precise understanding of how energy is distributed through the rock mass. Among the key factors that can drastically affect blast outcomes is drilling deviation, a common but […]
Introduction Blasting is a critical operation in mining, quarrying, and construction that involves the controlled detonation of explosives to break rock into manageable fragments. The fundamental principle behind blasting lies in understanding the interaction between explosive energy and rock mechanics, particularly the propagation of shock waves and the subsequent formation of fractures. The Shock-Wave Theory […]
Introduction WipFrag software provides detailed fragmentation analysis through histograms and Particle Size Distribution (PSD) charts. These tools help users assess particle size consistency and shape uniformity, which are critical for optimizing blasting and crushing operations. Two among the key elements in WipFrag analysis are the histogram and the sphericity lines on the PSD chart. Interpreting […]
