  • Using Science to Maximize Sorting Efficiency

    Recent implementations of sensor-based sorting have shown major positive impacts on mining economics. Maximizing sorting efficiency requires two linked pieces of information: particle size and particle grade. In addition to reducing downstream processing, particle sorting improves throughput of viable ore. In general, the coarser the size fraction, the easier the sorting and the greater the […]
