Cement Quarries Operation

Course Code: CI 06

Course Overview

This course has been developed to quarry operation.

quarry operation is part of the operation of the cement factory. The term “Quarry operation” is here taken to include:

1. Prospecting and evaluation of the deposit with regards to extension, depth, composition and total yield.

2. Planning of operation, i.e. determination of quarry sections orientation of fronts and depths of benches.

3. Evaluation of quarry machinery, transport equipment and internal transport lines.

4. The daily operation.

5. Familiarize the trainees with principals of crushing, the types of crushers, Crushing Operation, Design Limitation, Liner Consideration and Effect on Production technology and procedures necessary to operate Crushers with troubleshooting.

The purpose of the course is to upgrade the skills and knowledge of process engineers and operators in Quarries operation.cement industry.
