Cement Grinding Technology Training

Where the operating programme deals with running a mill, this one deals with the equipment itself. It covers mill and press design, the internals that determine performance, wear mechanisms and material selection, drive and transmission systems, and the auxiliary circuits that stop a mill when they fail. It is aimed at the people who specify, maintain and rebuild grinding equipment rather than those who operate it hour to hour.

It runs 5 times over the published calendar, in 3 cities and live online. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

• Describe mill and press design and the function of each component.
• Specify liners, diaphragms and grinding media for a duty.
• Identify wear mechanisms and select materials against them.
• Assess drive, bearing and lubrication systems.
• Plan a mill inspection and rebuild.

Mechanical and maintenance engineers, reliability engineers, project engineers specifying grinding equipment, and senior technicians rebuilding mill internals.

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

• A mill internals specification.
• A wear assessment from a real inspection.
• A mill inspection checklist and rebuild scope.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
