Scientific novelty
Digital twins of industrial equipment, based on modern computer modeling of solid mineral ore preparation processes, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, and predictive analytics, allow mining enterprises to reach a new level of production process efficiency and significantly improve online monitoring and equipment condition forecasting.
Advantages
Improving energy and technological efficiency through: - Reducing specific energy consumption per unit of finished product by 11.6%; - Reducing specific energy consumption per unit of time by 23.9%; - Reducing total grinding time by 20%; - Increasing finished product yield by 12.2%; - Increasing specific mass of finished product per unit of time by 30.4%.
Commercial implementation
Automated grinding technology can be used for drum-type ball mills at mining, processing, and metallurgical enterprises. Furthermore, it can be successfully applied in dry and wet grinding processes for various ore and non-metallic minerals, construction materials of varying hardness, and in the food industry.
