Modifying blasting practices to achieve a more suitable mill feed size – which varies according to the crushing/grinding circuit – can achieve up to a 30% increase in throughput. Following an initial benchmarking of an operation's practices, SRK can advise on how value-added blasting will deliver improvements in both mill capacity and ...
In a hard-rock mine, blasting is an important rock-breakage process that impacts energy consumption both in downstream comminution processes and mine productivity. Optimizing the blast fragmentation to improve rock-breakage efficiencies during crushing and grinding is key to mine-to-mill (MTM) optimization.

Mine Ball Mill Optimization. Mar 21 2007 As a result mines have shifted their emphasis in optimization from ball mills to SAG mills The rock load in the mill essentially depends on ore characteristics and the discharge rate of broken particles through the discharge end The discharge rate depends on how efficiently the discharge pump grate and pulp lifters operates
