This article answer the question below: What happens to your blast fragmentation when you have excessive inter row distance (Burden)? Introduction – Excessive Burden According to Prasad et al. (2017), Rock fragmentation size is very important parameters for economical point of view in any surface mining. Excessive inter-row distance, often referred to as an increased […]
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 […]
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 […]
