COURSE DETAILS
The seminar offers classroom instruction from FLSmidth specialists' function, and evaluation of grinding systems in a cement plant.
Topics Covered:
- Safety & Hazard Recognition.
- Equipment: Ball Mills, Vertical Mills, Separators.
- Grinding process principles y and fundamentals.
- Ball & vertical mill systems and equipment components.
- Process design basic parameters.
- Control loops & regulation.
- Process and operations troubleshooting.
- Key process and quality performance indicators and influencers.
- Process calculations.
- Optimization.
- Practical Case Studies
BENEFITS
- Understand the operating principles: how raw materials are fed, how grinding takes place, separation, drying, and product transport.
- Develop skills to monitor mill performance.
- Identify common issues (e.g., vibration, wear, poor particle size distribution, high energy consumption).
- Learn diagnostic methods to detect root causes of inefficiencies or failures.
- Explore how variables like feed size, moisture, grinding media, separator efficiency, and mill airflow influence energy use and product quality. Connect these operating parameters to production costs (energy, wear parts, downtime, throughput).
- Learn which KPIs matter (e.g., specific energy consumption, throughput, fineness, mill availability). Review how to use these KPIs to spot inefficiencies. Understand how to find bottlenecks and review system upgrades options (better separators, liners,grinding media charge, process controls) for modernization and productivity improvements.
