Special reports

David Mikalonis, SKF, highlights the transformative potential of hybrid ceramic bearings, illustrating how they could significantly improve the reliability and efficiency of operations in the cement industry.

John Stanton, DCL, explores how cement plants can maximise efficiency and enhance dust control in load-out operations.

R. Todd Swinderman, Martin Engineering, explains how preventing fugitive material around conveyors can improve safety and reduce the costs of operations.

Brian Giese, BEUMER Group, explains how to select the right overland conveying technology to improve cement plant operational efficiency.

Leading building products supplier Aggregate Industries has achieved a significant milestone with the inflation of its dome silo airform at Tilbury.

A significant contribution to the decarbonisation of cement production is being made, with new types of cement which use calcined clay and a smaller proportion of clinker than in traditional cement manufacture.

Reiner Bachthaler, Axians, explores how safety training apps can lead to safer and more efficient logistics processes at cement plants.

Waldo Mariscal, Unacem Peru S.A., and Oscar Lijap, Parker, explore the impact of dust generation in underground conveyor systems and consider measures to combat this problem.

Marcus Bronner, ENVEA, explains how the challenges of storage silo over-pressurisation can be solved with ambient air monitoring.

Hayley Ventor, Sila Australia, takes a look at the ways novel ceramic technology is advancing cement production.
