Example projects
What they are for
Five ready-made projects show what Mining Flow does. All of them calculate without warnings and have a title block, stream names and tags. Use them to learn or as a starting point.
How to open them
- In the project list: New from example; or
- in the New project wizard, step 1, under How to start, choose the example and click Create from the example. The client, project and phase you type go into the title block.
The project created is yours: it can be edited and saved normally, without affecting the original example.
The examples
Closed-circuit grinding
Ball mill with pump box, pump and cyclone cluster; the underflow returns to the mill. It shows particle size, P80, control sizes (100# and 325#) and circulating load.
Try it: change the corrected d50 (d50c) of the hydrocyclone and watch the circulating load and the overflow P80 in the table.
Iron ore screening
Crushed ROM with particle size entered by points, 3-deck vibrating screen by sieve size (1", 1/4" and 1 mm), spray through the water intake; recrushing, lump, sinter feed and pellet feed.
Try it: open the panel of an oversize stream and look at the log-log chart with the screen feed curve dashed.
Magnetic concentration with grades
WHIMS rougher, cleaner and scavenger with recycles to the box, recovery calculated from the Fe grades; dewatering (thickener, filter, recovered water) on another tab.
Try it: open Balance closure → Grades and distribution and read the Fe recovery in the concentrate.
Iron ore plant (3 tabs)
Crushing and screening, grinding and classification, concentration and dewatering, on three tabs linked by connectors, with particle size and grades. The PDF includes the particle size table.
Try it: double-click a "To: …" connector to go to the other tab.
WHIMS pilot plant
Rotary screen, WHIMS rougher and cleaner, clarifier and dewatering screen. This is the product demo.
Limits
- The crusher is still a pass-through unit, so the example plant has no closed crushing circuit: the ROM comes in already crushed.
