Overview

Molycop Tools© 3.0 is designed to help metallurgists and process engineers characterise and evaluate the operating efficiency of any given grinding circuit, following standardised methodologies and widely accepted evaluation criteria.

Molycop Tools incorporates a full set of digital simulators for conventional and semi-autogenous grinding applications with the corresponding mass balance and parameter estimation routines. They also include complementary spreadsheets regarding Bond’s Law calculations, grinding media ‘algebra’ and other useful utility functions.

Typical Uses

Metallurgists use Molycop Tools to characterise and evaluate the operating efficiency of a grinding circuit by applying advanced data-driven techniques for grinding and mineral processing. Molycop Tools simulators assist in refining milling parameters, improving wear life and enhancing overall process performance, leading to cost savings and more effective resource management.

Benefits

Improved milling efficiency: Molycop Tools help metallurgists optimise grinding processes, reduce energy consumption and increase throughput.
Longer equipment lifespan: Extend the life of milling equipment, reducing maintenance costs.
Data-driven insights: Make informed decisions that enhance operational accuracy and performance.
Cost savings: Reduce costs by improving process efficiency and reducing downtime.

Continuous improvement with MillROC support – Edikan Case Study

The initial installation and set-up of MillSlicer, MillStar and MillROC at the Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana's Ashanti Gold belt was completed by April 2019. The optimisation strategy resulted in a sustainable increase in throughput of 27% in 8 months.

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

The objective of a MillROC improvement project at a leading Australian nickel mine was to implement a new control philosophy around the grinding circuit, which allowed for stabilisation of key operating variables. The project led to significant improvement in circuit efficiency, reduction in energy requirements and increases in throughput.
