testimonials

For more than 25 years, delegates have described MEI's Comminution event as the leading international forum for crushing and grinding research and practice - combining outstanding technical content, practical industrial insights, exceptional networking leading to valuable business connections, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps them coming back.

Thanks to the MEI team for assembling the world leaders to participate in this prestigious conference [Comminution '23].

Taswald Llewelyn Moodley, Mintek, South Africa

Comminution '23 was a great event, perfectly organised, perfect venue, interesting people and papers. For me particularly interesting, the papers by Weir and Köppern on HPGR and the following discussion with Polysius. "To flange or not to flange" really divides the industry at the moment!

Holger Lieberwirth, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany

It was a great opportunity to join you at Comminution '23. I was really impressed about the perfect organization and high level of the presentations. It is also such a good environment that allows people to really share ideas and make connections. This is key for creativity and for the development of the minerals industry.

Priscila Esteves, STEINERT Latinoamericana, Brasil

I had a great week at Comminution '23. I presented a novel model to simulate particle fracture embedded in DEM and had very interesting chats with other researchers and delegates from industry. Thank you MEI Conferences for organizing and all the people at the conference, see you next time.

Michael Denzel, University of Leoben, Austria

A very insightful week at Comminution '23. We were reminded during the week that our industry is built upon great research into the founding principles of comminution and in the same way our future is tied to the success of the research being done by academia and industry's ability to collaborate and effect efficiency improvement in our great industry.

Marnu Lombaard, Orway IQ, Australia

I've experienced a great week at the Comminution '23 conference in Cape Town. Thanks to all who contributed in that awesome event.

Orkun Öksüz , Minova Process, Turkey

I had some very interesting chats about my own research at Comminution '23, and got to ask other people about theirs - you really can't beat face-to-face for this, Zoom just isn't the same.

Daniel Lay, University of Queensland, Australia

Thanks to all the organisers of Comminution '23 for such a great conference.

Nick Wilshaw, GSL, UK

Thanks for yet another successful Comminution conference [Comminution '18], the setting is as good as it gets, quality papers and excellent networking opportunities makes this a must attend for academics, leaders and process engineers in the comminution business. Looking forward to 2020's event.

Nic Barkhuysen, Derrick Solutions International, South Africa

Thank you for organizing such a wonderful event [Comminution '18]. Being part of it really contributes to our career and hope you will continue to carry the flag for upcoming events.

Okay Altun, Hacettepe University, Turkey

An excellent seminar [Comminution '16]; lots of interesting papers from plant operations, good interaction with key industry players and academics. We shall definitely participate in the next one.

Tapash Bhattacharjee, Business Head, Polycorp, Canada

A thoroughly enjoyable experience [Comminution '16]. It was interesting to look at the comminution business from a slightly different angle. Most of us commercial people specialise in a specific area, so good to see what everybody else is doing.

Tim Lane, Sales and Marketing Engineer, Crushing and Screening, Sandvik Mining, South Africa

I was impressed with Comminution '16 because a positive attitude was maintained in the conference. We got several good leads that are looking like new business for us – both in the mill design and the partner lab area.

John Starkey, Starkey & Associates, Canada

Excellent conference [Comminution '16]! High quality presentations and discussions. A great mix of application and innovation.

Bern Klein, Uni. of British Columbia, Canada

Thanks for organizing the Comminution '14 Conference. It not only enhanced my knowledge but also helped me identify solutions to the milling circuit I manage. Some of the discussions we had, we have carried them forward as part of the business process improvements. I also managed to identify with a huge pool of knowledgeable people from across the world. I could not imagine communicating daily and interacting with people from SA, USA, France, Iran, China, Australia and various other countries. Some have become my friends, importantly. Thanks so much and I look forward to be at the next conference.

Clifford Farai Mutevhe, Anglo American Platinum, Zimbabwe

Another excellent conference [Comminution '14] ... There was a very good mix of industrial and academic papers/posters stimulating a lot of discussion and exchanges. Looking forward to Comminution '16!

Comminution '14 offers a high concentration of potential clients as well as contact with former colleagues and friends within the industry. The coffee breaks, lunches and social functions are an extremely important part of the event.

The conference [Comminution '12] is very useful for both, scientists and practicing specialists, working in this field. I would like to thank all the organizers once again for a wonderful conference. TOMS is planning to participate in the conference in 2014 and to be a sponsor as well.

We have received a lot of pleasure from the organization of your conference [Comminution 08]. At your conference we felt as our home. The fine organization!!!

Also many thanks for yours spouse, your son, your daughter and all your assistants, who helped you to make such fine conference.

Alexander Hvan, Navoi Mining, Uzbekistan

I congratulate you for a very successful conference. Thank you very much for everything.
I met valuable colleagues which may result in lasting relationships. This Comminution 08 conference did move my career forward in a meaningful way. It was one of the most productive conferences I have ever attended.

Prof. Tarik Ozkahraman, University of Suleyman, Turkey

Comminution 08 was a really enjoyable and important conference. It gave an excellent update of the current status in comminution research. Also, thanks to its (fairly) small format it was possible to have informal discussions with those in the field.

Dr. B. Pålsson, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden

I really liked Falmouth, wonderful choice of place for this conference [Comminution 08]. Good organization, good food, nice hotel.

Mattias Åstholm, Metso Minerals (Sala) AB, Sweden

Cornwall was a very pleasant surprise and apart from being effective business-wise, I had an excellent time [at Comminution 08].

Hans von Michaelis, Randol International, USA

It was my first visit to the Comminution conference [Comminution 08] and I would like to send you and your family my thanks and appreciation for an excellently organized meeting. I am looking forward to participating in your future meetings.

It was my third time attending Comminution [Comminution 08]. I enjoyed it!

Prof. Jorge Pontt, University Federico Santa Maria, Chile

Thank you for providing a valuable comminution forum [Comminution 04] in Perth. We enjoyed being associated with this conference and the exposure it brought with it.

Sarah DeBono, Senior Process Engineer, Xstrata Technology

The conferences [Gravity Concentration 04 & Comminution 04] were very informative and I will be passing on some information from the CD to my bosses... There was quite a bit of networking to be done, and I also picked up some advantageous processing operations tips.

Andrew Taylor, Equigold NL, Australia

This conference [Comminution 01] has provided a good mix for us because we are not only into grinding mills as capital equipment, but we're also in consumables and wear parts for both crushing and grinding operations.

Steve Hall, Bradken Mineral Processing Sales and Marketing Manager
