GRINDING TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Maximize Learning and Minimize Downtime

GRINDING TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR
The training aims to Identify and understand necessary known and unknown information towards the completed cycle of the crushing and grinding system. Throughout the course, the lectures are supplemented with exercises and case studies, allowing the participants to relate the course material to their cement crushing and grinding facility and, as a result understanding the changing needs of cement producers and how to tailor solutions to meet those needs. Optimizing output, improving efficiency and reliability while keeping production costs to a minimum comprises some of the topics covered in this seminar.
Benefits
- Maintenance and process consideration – best practices.
- Optimize and standardize operation and maintenance techniques, improving the overall equipment efficiency.
- Review and implement the most efficient operation and maintenance practices to achieve a sustainable and stable run time in the system.
Highlights
A unique combination of theoretical and practical skills throughout this course will be learned, which will help you develop and execute the concepts and technical knowledge acquired in the daily activities of operation and maintenance.

“The seminar is designed for operation and maintenance personnel.”
Aims of the seminar
An emphasis on the understanding of the crushing and milling technology system:
Evaluation and optimization of the function and primary stress of the different types of crushers from the process and mechanical standpoint — Test efficiency evaluation and the different grindability measurement methods — Time evolution of the mill and grinding department. Gas flow, advantage, and disadvantage in the Coal, Raw mill, and Cement mill installations – Grindability concept and the effects of inter-grinding materials of different grindability – Ball mill grinding equations and dimensioning – Working principles of a separator – Grinding aids and other tools to boost efficiency – Control concepts – Influence of the grinding process on raw material and cement quality – Evaluation of performance and optimization of ball mills, roller presses, and vertical roller mills.
Define accurately and continuously measure student progress and knowledge, graphing and analyzing technical and conceptual data to provide staff and organization with the tools to respond effectively to the needs of the plant and current and future demands.
Help Operation and Maintenance Personnel improve productivity, efficiency, performance, and quality of the workforce; anticipating and eliminating possible delays through the understanding and identification of the critical elements that impact the cement crushing’s performance and reliability grinding system.
