FRAGMENTATION The key objective is to deliver a product that is broken well enough to maximise crusher throughput. That positions fragmentation as the main infl uence to performance of downstream activities in a mine. As a consequence, the profi t of a mining operation can be greatly improved through optimised fragmentation

Rock fragmentation is a fundamental goal of bench blasting where the most effective blasts can only be achieved through fragmentation optimization. The meaning of optimized fragmentation is site dependent, as there is no single fragment size that is the most cost effective for all mine sites, loading equipment, and processing facilities

Mar 13, 2021 The quarry operators wish to blast and deliver the run-off-mine (ROM) to the processing plant at the least minimum cost with little or no boulders. On the other hand, the regulatory authorities want blast operations to be carried out with minimum disturbances to the environment irrespective of their incurred costs, fragmentation distributions
