Fragmentation Analysis: Turning Rock Size into Operational Insight

Understanding rock fragmentation is critical to the success of any mining or aggregate operation. Fragment size affects everything—from loader efficiency and crusher throughput to haul truck cycle times and overall energy use. Yet, for years, accurate sizing has been costly, labor-intensive, and often inconsistent.

Not anymore.

Whether you're looking for a one-time study or a fully integrated monitoring solution, we can scale our services to meet your needs—quickly, affordably, and with precision.
