Course Description

Having a skilled team plays a key role in the optimal utilisation of the grinding installation in the cement plant. The operators and process engineers must be able to evaluate all the process variables in order to optimise the
production economy. This course provides an in depth understanding of grinding theory and equipment and gives you the tools to audit your own installation.

Learning objectives
The purpose of the course is to give operators and process engineers tools to optimise the output of an existing
grinding installation.

Benefits
By having a thorough understanding of the plant power consumption, proper process control and a full
understanding of the equipment and grinding theory the participants will be able to evaluate and optimise any existing grinding installation and thereby boost the production rate.
