Mill Operation Optimization
Increasing throughput, while reducing steel & energy consumption
In mining comminution, the process of grinding rocks is not only energy-intensive but also costly. Traditional rock comminution projects alone consume about 4% of global energy, with a staggering 80-90% of this energy expended in grinding equipment. Surprisingly, the efficiency of this process is estimated to be just 5%, making it one of the most significant inefficiencies in a historically energy-intensive process. Unfortunately, there is limited understanding of the internal crushing dynamics within the mill, creating a critical technological gap that needs to be addressed.
Our mission is to digitally transform this crucial part of the metals supply chain by evolving it to Industry 4.0. Promet.ai, through advanced data capture using real-time sensing and analytics reduces the energy footprint of mining equipment used in comminution. The technology provided by Promet.ai offers real-time data on liner thickness and wear rate with millimeter-level accuracy or better, paired with data intelligence for risk assessment and mitigation.
By addressing this critical technological gap, Kite aims to revolutionize the mining comminution process, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable, contributing to a greener and more responsible future for the mining industry.
