Demonstrating Rapid Particle Size Analysis
OreVia Slurry is an advanced particle size analysis solution that uses image-based technology to measure slurry particle size distribution following grinding and classification processes.During the demonstrations, customers observed how the system delivers particle size measurements within minutes, providing operational teams with rapid feedback on circuit performance. The ability to obtain near real-time information enables plant personnel to make more informed decisions and respond more quickly to changing operating conditions.
The demonstrations focused on the practical application of particle size analysis data and how improved process visibility can support optimisation initiatives throughout the comminution and beneficiation process.

Supporting Data-Driven Process Optimisation
Particle size distribution is a critical parameter in mineral processing, influencing grinding efficiency, classification performance, downstream recovery, and overall plant productivity.By providing fast and reliable measurement results, OreVia Slurry helps operators better understand process variability and identify opportunities for improvement. Enhanced visibility allows teams to assess circuit performance more effectively, monitor trends, and implement corrective actions with greater confidence. The technology can also be incorporated into Molycop's automatic advanced process control (APC) system, providing an integrated approach to monitoring and optimising plant performance.
Throughout the customer engagements, discussions centred on how data-driven process management can contribute to improved operational consistency and support broader plant performance objectives.
Strengthening Customer Engagement Across the Region
The Zambia demonstrations provided a valuable opportunity for direct collaboration between Molycop and mining operations throughout the Copperbelt region.By engaging with customers on site, Molycop was able to demonstrate practical applications of OreVia Slurry technology while gaining a deeper understanding of the operational challenges and priorities facing local operations. These conversations help ensure that technology solutions remain aligned with customer needs and deliver meaningful operational value.
The visits also reinforced Molycop's commitment to supporting customers through technical expertise, innovation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
