The problem it solves

The grinding circuit controls everything. But nobody could see it in real time.

Particle size is the variable that most impacts flotation recovery. Yet most plants rely on manual sieve tests with response times of hours.

BPSM delivers the P80 of the grinding product continuously, allowing circuit adjustment in minutes. Less variability, better average P80, higher recovery.

Capabilities

What BPSM does for your operation

Continuous P80 measurement

Permanent particle size analysis of the grinding product, generating real-time P80 values without interrupting the process.

DCS / SCADA integration

Direct communication with plant control systems via standard protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA), enabling closed-loop grinding control.

Certified BGRIMM technology

Equipment manufactured by BGRIMM Technology (Beijing) with validation in high-demand grinding circuits for copper and molybdenum projects.

Comprehensive Simplex support

Technical backing from design through operation: vendor engineering, commissioning, PEM and critical spare parts management.

Grinding circuit optimisation

Real-time P80 data allows adjusting loads, speeds and water dosing without waiting for manual sieve results.

High operational availability

Robust design to operate in dusty, humid and vibrating conditions, with planned maintenance that does not interrupt production.
