Optimising Vertical Mine Ore Pass Design Using Rocky DEM and OptiSLang

Discover how Rocky DEM combined with OptiSLang can be used to optimise the design of vertical mine ore passes. In this technical session, we explore how adjusting the angles of the second and third sections affects ore flow, wear, and overall system efficiency. With advanced simulation and automated optimisation, you’ll see how to find the best geometrical configuration to reduce blockages, cut down on maintenance, and boost productivity in mining operations.
