CT Services   

Our Comminution Technology (CT) division developed means of analyzing, identifying, and improving ore comminution in the mineral processing circuit from blasting, blockcaving, and crushing through milling and classifying ore.

Special developments include our 3-D Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) software program ROCKY; metal wear modeling, population balance modeling (PBM), and mill circuit statistical analysis. Many of the world's largest mills are being aided by these tools to improve comminution efficiency, save power, and extend life.
