COURSE DETAILS
This 4-day seminar explores ball and vertical roller mills, emphasizing grinding principles, design fundamentals, and hands-on training with the addition of the Fuller CEMulator® for control, troubleshooting, and optimization.
Topics
■ 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.
■ Practice with Fuller® CEMulator process simulator.
■ Optimization.
■ Practical Case Studies
Benefits
■ Understand the operating principles: how raw, coal/ petcoke, and cement mills 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).
■ A full day will be devoted to using the Fuller® Cement CEMulator simulator to analyse grinding control responses and process variables..
■ Review how to use these KPIs to spot inefficiencies. Understand how to find bottlenecks and review system upgrades options (separators, liners, grinding
media charge, process controls) for modernization and productivity improvements.
