AGG1 AGGREGATES ACADEMY EXPO Tuesday March 17 7 30 9 A M T41 Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Crushing But Were Afraid To Ask Mark Krause McLanahan Corp This session provides an overview of crushing including the different types of primary and secondary crushers pros and cons associated with the different types what site conditions to consider when choosing crushers and how to optimize the process given a particular crusher Topics covered will be types of crushers available the features and benefits of each along with expected production capabilities end products and costs associated with using the various methods Videos will show how various machines work and why maintenance practices and proper monitoring is critical to the optimal operation of each machine T42 Conveyors Design Maintenance Their Effect On Material Segregation Jarrod Felton Superior Industries The harsh operating conditions experienced by aggregate conveyor systems not only increase the need for proper maintenance but they also create a need for design considerations that facilitate proper maintenance In many cases proper design considerations reduce the cost and time involved with conveyor maintenance In addition this course will explore stockpiling and material segregation T43 3D Mobile Mapping For Stockpile Inventory Analysis Mark Farber H2H Associates LLC 3D mobile mapping is rapidly becoming the method of choice for quarry managers and accountants who require safe accurate and cost effective inventories of their material stockpiles Vehicle mounted mobile laser scanning allows efficient collection of millions of data points on irregular piles and in areas with difficult and dangerous access usually with no effect on production Newly developed drone based aerial surveys have enabled the safe collection of data in inaccessible areas with higher accuracies than ever before Data collection in a typical quarry has been reduced to a matter of hours Processing of data and calculation of pile volumes is accomplished with cutting edge office software and delivery of results has been reduced to a matter of days AGG1 Academy tickets can now be used for any session offered T44 Dewatering Processes For Maximum Saleable Product Minimum Water Consumption Sam Palombo and Alan Bennetts Weir Minerals North America Stockpiled sand products for asphalt and concrete ideally need to contain low moisture levels for the end user Loss of fine sand products to settling ponds results in lost revenue and high process costs not to mention a negative environmental impact Additionally settling pond space requirements and availability of water can create issues for many producers For these reasons and more most sand andgravel operations across the globe require some form of a dewatering system This presentation will discuss a variety of dewatering processes for maximum saleable products and reduced water consumption T45 Permitting Its All About Air Water People Bob Archibald Global Proppant Supply LLC Chuck Baxter Turnkey Processing Solutions Scott OBrien McLanahan Corp Hamilton White Turnkey Processing Solutions Bronwyn Weaver Archibald Consulting Services LLC This presentation describes the design technology behind eliminating air and water emissions the equipment available to accomplish it and how this message is effectively communicated to the community and the regulatory agencies to streamline the permitting process T46 Mitigating Fatigue Risk Through Technologies Safety Culture Solutions Todd Dawson Caterpillar Safety Services The stark reality that nearly half of shift workers nod off while working at least once per week has driven the development of technologies that deliver valuable information about the conditions under which employees operate Few companies are equipped to leverage the data in a fatigue risk management system that touches all the influencers of a safety culture to deliver safer work conditions and improved performance Learn to pull together people processes and technologies to drive zero incident performance Discover the technologies used to generate safety related data and how systems engage all levels of the organization in mitigating fatigue risk T11 Leadership In The 21st Century Larry Kokkelenberg Center for Business Development We now have four different generations in the workplace and soon we will have five That is unprecedented Each generation has different values priorities and goals Managing and leading these individuals requires supervisors managers and leaders to have a variety of skills This program will show the difference between management and leadership and then demonstrate and review several different styles of leadership Further this program will differentiate between transactional and transformational leadership If you want to develop your people you will need to learn how to become a transformational leader 9 30 11 A M T51 Washing 101 John Bennington Superior Industries This presentation gives an overview of the basics of this easily misunderstood portion of operations Topics include washing techniques maintenance routines classifying tanks dewatering screws versus dewatering screens troubleshooting of common washing problems and consequences of wrong sized equipment With the ever increasing need for cost savings and efficient production of sand especially manufactured sand gaining this insight is invaluable T52 Tuning Operations Of VSI Crushing Neil Hise Cemco Inc Learn from 44 years of experience with operation and service of vertical shaft impactor VSI crushers about the history of crushing Review different types of impact crushers such as HSI crushers and the relationship of product output with associated horsepower need See a video of internal VSI crushing and hear an indepth discussion of the dynamics and configurations of a VSI Four types of VSI crushing will be discussed using actual processing photos videos and computer animation with informa AGG1 Academy 24 PIT QUARRY March 2015 www pitandquarry com
