Grinding 1 - Fundamentals is a course for process engineers, mill operators and mineral processing students. This course is the first of a suite of three courses on grinding engineering from Metso Performance Solutions... the companion titles are Grinding 2 - Unit Operations and Grinding 3 - Circuits. A partial list of topics covered by this course includes Mineral Processing Basics, Particles, Slurries, Comminution, Classification, Dynamics, Physics and General Mill Safety.
In recent years the mineral processing industry has downsized its labor force, installed new technology with larger equipment and incorporated plant wide automation, all in an effort to improve productivity and performance while maintaining operating cost at a minimum. As a consequence of these actions the operator is now required to make more and better informed decisions. To meet the educational needs at the mill operation level Metso has developed a Computer Based Mill Operator Education Program. The full program includes a suite of mineral processing courses for mill operators and process engineers on Grinding and Flotation which have been adapted for Web presentation on Edumine.
The program is presented by Edumine as online self-paced, self-learning courses. The courses include online certification as well as performance tracking and reporting. For information on the courses, contact support@edumine.com.
Well-trained operators mean higher profits, more throughput, safer operation, better morale, better grade and recovery and improved communication.
