Webinar overview

Optimising mineral processing requires a holistic approach – it’s not about a single tool, but about integrating the right instrumentation, process insights and grinding media strategies. This webinar will explore how smart instrumentation, process characterisation and grinding media selection together enhance recovery, efficiency and throughput while reducing costs.


Key focus areas

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
  • leverage smart instrumentation to gather actionable insights on ore behaviour across the processing circuit
  • use process characterisation to understand and optimise plant performance
  • align grinding media selection with ore properties and operational goals
  • integrate data, control strategies and media choices to create long-term value.

What you’ll learn

  • The role of process characterisation in establishing a reliable data foundation
  • How to translate ore and process insights into smarter operational decisions
  • Practical ways to connect grinding media selection with ore properties and mill performance
  • Case-driven examples showing how integrated approaches deliver measurable improvements.

Who the webinar is for

  • Process engineers
  • Metallurgists
  • Plant managers
  • Operations and maintenance teams
  • Anyone looking to enhance plant optimisation by connecting data, control and grinding media.
