In this paper, we propose a methodology for the prediction of the performance of hydraulic rock breakers in the excavation of a rock mass. The case study area is located in Northwest Egypt on...

Ideal rock fragmentation in blasting operation reduces the workload of primary crushers and improves the energy efficiency of crushing and grinding processes (Siddiqui et al. 2009). In rock blasting, explosives deliver an extreme source of energy, which regularly exceeds the level that is required to cause adequate breakage in the adjacent rock ...

explosives for fragmentation of rock mass will help all other operations coming after drilling and blasting. Furthermore, Esmaeili et al. (2014) stated in their research that the key objectives of production blasting are to achieve optimum rock fragmentation and control the particle size distribution of a muck pile after rock fragmentation.

The degree of rock fragmentation influences the productivity of excavator and loader, the throughput of crusher and mill, the energy consumption of comminution equipment, and the price of crushed end-products such as the industrial minerals and the construction aggregates (Sanchidrián et al., 2012).

Rock fragmentation due to blasting depends upon many parameters. The properties of the explosive are one of them. In limestone quarries, ammonium nitrate–fuel oil (ANFO) or site mixed emulsion (SME) are generally used for rock fragmentation. ... The dumpers unload their contents onto a grizzly fitted on the crusher so as to control the …
