The Influence of Blast Fragmentation on Loadability (Room Lone Star DEF)

30 Jan 18
9:30 AM - 10:00 AM

Tracks: Blasters Forum Poster Session, Session 6 - FRAGBLAST

Speaker(s): Daniel Johansson
Loadability in sublevel caving drawpoints is heavily dependent on fragmentation. Digging time, machine wear and penetration depth are all affected negatively from excessive fines and boulders. Mid-range fragmentation promotes a productive and smooth LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) operation.
