Problems

Optimisation of crushing circuit

Increase output of the first-grade product

Operator and APC systems unable to manage optimal settings from recirculating crushers

Reduction in quality of resulting production

Solution

Application for crushing circuit control

Digital advisor selects optimal settings for crushing circuit

Aggregate of models for tracking ore granularity, movement of ore from bunkers and stockpiles, and multiple crushing operations

Predicts ratio between lumpy and fine ore fractions at output of 3rd crushing stage 25 minutes in advance

Result

Increase in production of lump ore
