Excessive burden in blasting refers to having too much rock mass in front of the blast holes. This is relative to the designed blast parameters. The burden is the distance between a blast hole and the free face. If this distance is too large, it can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the blasting […]

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 […]

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.

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

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

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 […]
