Cost
Event Registration: 
$995 per participant
taxes not included

Duration
Two full days of expert-led instruction and hands-on discussion.

Who should attend

This program is tailored for professionals looking to sharpen their technical knowledge and improve operational outcomes, including:

Whether you run a mobile spread or manage a full-scale fixed plant, this session will provide the tools to optimize your operation.

Why you should attend

This course turns decades of crushing and screening experience into practical insights you can apply immediately.

Participants will leave confident in their ability to analyze data, identify inefficiencies, and make informed operational decisions.

You’ll learn how to:

• Diagnose and prevent crusher abuses such as underfeeding, cavity packing, and ring bounce 
• Balance feed parameters and reduction ratios for optimal throughput and liner life 
• Select the right liners and feed practices to extend wear life by up to 40% 
• Calculate and manage material balance across circuits to improve tonnage and reduce recirculation 
• Evaluate screening efficiency and design screen setups using proven formulas rather than trial and error
