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, Рефлекс а также Соло create a consistent measurement chain from pre-blast assessment through mineral processing.

Common use cases

Reflex measuring fragmentation in mine haul-truck loads and quarry haul-truck loads.

Load-by-load mine-to-crusher monitoring

Measure fragmentation and colour characteristics as haul trucks, LHDs or railcars pass through a monitored location. Reflex provides load-based feedback for oversize detection, blast reconciliation, material-quality indicators and crusher-feed consistency without interrupting haulage.
Monitoring PSD of crushed ore on a mining conveyor

Crusher and conveyor performance

Continuously monitor material on belts or chutes to detect oversize, excessive fines, broken screens and changes in feed distribution. Solo trends help teams relate upstream fragmentation to crusher settings, throughput and downstream process stability.
Particle size and colour monitoring of SAG mill output

Grinding and process-feed stability

Track the size, shape, volume and colour characteristics of feed entering SAG, AG and other process circuits. Continuous Solo results can support operator decisions, advanced control strategies, blending, throughput improvement and energy-efficiency initiatives.
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.
