Our Comminution Technology (CT) division developed means of analyzing, identifying, and improving ore comminution in the mineral processing circuit from blasting, block caving, and crushing through milling and classifying ore. Special developments include 3-D discrete element method (DEM: granular material), 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.

News: The mineral processing portion of Comminution Technology has been sold to Metso Minerals.
