FRAGTrack™ Crusher is a state-of-the-art fragmentation measurement tool that uses advanced machine vision technologies to enable autonomous triggering and processing without interfering with the haulage operational continuity.

It is designed to be installed at the crusher feed point to measure and provide Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of material on the truck during the tipping operation.

Features and Benefits

Advanced stereoscopic machine vision technology

Unique hybrid AI and 2D/3D imaging with proprietary triggering and filtering algorithms allow direct particle measurement, reducing reliance on curve fitting for the smallest size fractions. Raw data and Rosin Rammler options are also available for modelling unmeasured fractions.

Drill and blast optimisation

Reliable and accurate fragmentation information enables optimisation of drill and blast parameters for crusher requirements through a quantitative evaluation of blasting performance and blast design adjustments. Crusher throughput can also be maximised by evaluating crusher performance through an automated fragmentation analysis association pre and post crusher.

Upstream and downstream data integration

Custom Fleet Management System (FMS) interface associates the measured PSD data to the tipping truck identifier, enabling a direct association of fragmentation measurements to each blast. Downstream data integration through Open Platform Communication (OPC UA) server standard allows near real-time streaming of fragmentation data to the site’s Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for alerts and control.

Install, commission, optimise and maintain without on-site hardware support

Users will be trained and supported throughout the FRAGTrack™ installation and operation process. Once installed and connected to the network, FRAGTrack™'s performance can be maintained, optimised, and maintain without on-site hardware support. Lens is maintained using a Pneumatic self-cleaning solution.

Web-based interface for superior analysis and decision making

The use of cloud architecture offers a range of data transfer and integration points, promoting centralised collaboration among stakeholders, from the plant control room to the data science team. Online access allows authorized users configurable display of historical data, key performance indicators and reporting needs, anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
