This, the 1st International Crushers and High-Pressure Grinding Rolls Symposium (Crushers 08) is organised by Minerals Engineering International and sponsored by PMT-Jetmill, JKTech and Sigmund Lindner.

This conference precedes Grinding Mills 08 (June 17-18) and Ultrafine Grinding 08 (June 19-20). The three conferences together form Comminution 08, the proceedings of which will be published on CD-ROM, and selected papers, after peer-review, will be published in a special Comminution issue of Minerals Engineering journal.

There have been many developments in crusher technology and crushing circuits over the last few years, and recently high-pressure grinding rolls have become increasingly important in specialist areas. This 1-day conference, which initiates Comminution 08, will deal with all aspects of crusher and high-pressure grinding rolls technology, including machine developments, circuits, control and simulation. The integration of HPGR and similar bed breakage devices into current and future circuits will be of particular interest.
