Abstract
An example method for estimating a wear profile of a consumable wear product used in conjunction with the processing of ore includes obtaining historical data related to wear of the consumable wear product, building a historical wear model based on the historical data, and obtaining a current single measurement point for the consumable wear product. The method includes extrapolating an estimated wear profile using the current measurement point and the historical wear model, and estimating a performance characteristic based on the estimated wear profile.
Claims4
A method for estimating a wear profile of a liner assembly of a grinding mill that processes ore, the method comprising:
- building a historical wear model based on historical data from the grinding mill;
- obtaining a current single measurement point for the liner assembly;
- extrapolating an estimated wear profile using the current single measurement point and the historical wear model;
- and
- estimating a change-out date for the liner assembly based on the estimated wear profile.
