Comminution accounts for 35–50% of the energy consumed at a mine site yet is very energy inefficient
Comminution also consumes approximately 4% of the world’s electricity
Ball and SAG mill platform technologies have not changed in decades
The CAHM platform technology includes a ball mill retrofit (MonoRoll) and a crusher/SAG replacement (CAHM)
The 50 tph demonstration technology co-developed with a group of 9 mining companies has demonstrated energy reductions of 65% with simpler circuits and superior products
The 2 tph MonoRoll technology has demonstrated a 35% reduction in energy compared to ball mills
Project Timeline
Ongoing
Expected Outcomes
Implementation of a 50-15-tph Mark 2 unit at a mine site
Further development of the ball mill retrofit technology, MonoRail; stimulate additional collaboration between companies and the greater ecosystem partners
A new commercial offering for the CAHM and MonoRoll technologies
