A powerful fragmentation analysis tool is a highlight of Maptek PointStudio 2020 geospatial modelling and reporting software.
According to Group Product Manager Mine Measurement, Jason Richards, better understanding of fragmentation can account for phenomenal downstream cost-efficiencies, with implications for many aspects of an operation.
‘Sub-optimal fragmentation is immediately associated with inefficient excavation and haulage,’ said Richards. ‘Undue damage to crusher parts is another impact. Excessive energy usage, crusher downtime due to wear and tear outside of planned maintenance and delivering out-of-specification product are directly linked to operational performance.’
