The
Modelling Process
Initial enquiries with BSM can be made by telephone
or email. During initial discussions, aspects
of the proposed project such as scope and timing
can be discussed, and points regarding the modelling
technique can be clarified.

Based on the information provided, a quotation for the Modelling task will be supplied.
Following acceptance of the quotation, a model will be constructed, normally in transparent
Perspex, and normally at 1/10 scale.
Based on the properties of the material being handled by the transfer chute, one or more
materials will be selected for use as a model ore.
The model will be mounted on the test rig, and the model ore will be run through it, with
visual observations being made of the behaviour of the ore. |

Video clips and still photographs of the chute performance will be provided, together with
suggestions for design modifications if necessary.
Modifications to the model will be made according in consultation with the client, and the
revised model will be trialed on the test rig. This process can be repeated as necessary to
achieve the desired result. |
