JKSimMet is an award-winning computer software package, developed from years of research out of the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC). 

The package has been tailored specifically for both plant and development metallurgists and design engineers. It utilises process simulation models which allow the use to explore options for optimising existing circuits, and to assess design alternatives for new operations.

JKSimMet Allows the User to: 

  • Build a graphic-based flowsheet of the processing plant
  • Assign machine criteria and model parameters to each plant case study
  • Simulate the effect of changes in operating conditions to predict product flows and size distributions
  • Determine optimum conditions, including plant throughput

Standard Features: 

  • Graphical user interface
  • Flowsheet specified interactively on the graphics screen
  • Models selected from a built-in library
  • Model parameters can be specified by the user
  • Range of data output displays and printed reports
  • Simple data import and export

Models Available: 

  • Rod mill and ball mill
  • Autogenous and semi-autogenous mill
  • Crusher
  • HPGR
  • Simple degradation
  • Vibrating screen – single and double deck
  • DSM screen
  • Hydrocyclone
  • Efficiency curve
