en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 2nd International Symposium on Advanced Comminution Technology and Equipment was recently held in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. With the theme "Digital Intelligence Driven · Low-Carbon Leading: Industrial Innovation and Ecological Synergy of Comminution Technology," the symposium was jointly organized by BGRIMM Technology Group and Moly-Cop (Changzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd., and hosted by the Information Research Center of BGRIMM. It attracted over a hundred representatives from mining enterprises, research institutes, and universities both domestically and internationally.
Comminution is a core process in mineral processing and also the segment with the highest energy consumption and cost. Shang Yanbo, Vice President of BGRIMM, noted in his address that comminution accounts for over 40% of total energy consumption in mineral processing, making it a critical link for carbon reduction and efficiency improvement in mining. He emphasized that resource security, green and low-carbon practices, and intelligent efficiency have become core directions for high-quality development in the mining industry. Xu Su, General Manager of Moly-Cop China, stated that with declining ore grades, rising cost pressures, and increasingly stringent "dual carbon" goals and environmental requirements, innovation in comminution technology is urgent.
Founded in Chile in 1917, Moly-Cop now operates seven foundries and three grinding media production bases globally. Its ME FIT system, which leverages sensors, data analysis, and remote monitoring for grinding optimization, has achieved an 18% reduction in total operating costs in overseas mining applications. The two-day symposium covered topics such as digital intelligence empowering full-process control of comminution, and the iteration and upgrade of low-carbon, high-efficiency comminution technology and equipment. Experts and scholars from BGRIMM, Central South University, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), and other universities, research institutes, and enterprises shared their latest research findings on intelligent simulation technology, grinding process optimization control, SABC intelligent control systems, and digital twin-driven decision platforms.
Attendees unanimously agreed that comminution technology is transitioning from single-point breakthroughs to full-process system optimization, with digital intelligence and low-carbon leadership set to become the main trajectory for the evolution of next-generation comminution technology.
