Wednesday at Comminution '23

A good start to the day with a keynote lecture from our comminution consultant Aubrey Mainza, and further commitments to sponsorship of Comminution '25 from Italian company Eracles, and Keramos.

Eracles is part of the global company Torrecid, and in the photo below Jon thanks Eracles' Managing Director Jorge Roudriguez for their sponsorship, watched by Mehtab Sarao of Eracles and Poulo George Kariyatty of Torrecid South Africa.

Keramos will be sponsoring Comminution '25 as Global Met Tech, which separates the comminution sector of Keramos from other areas of the company (posting of 6th April). In the photo below Jon shakes hands with Simon Bailey, head of grinding media and metallurgy, who is based in Falmouth, UK, watched by Australian representatives Charlie Ingham and Matthew Toll.

Following Aubrey's keynote there were 13 presentations. A less intensive day today to allow for the after effects of last night's dinner! Plenty of time for more chat, exhibition and poster viewing.

The exhibition is dominated by the huge Russell Mineral Equipment display and I managed to catch all 12 of their conference team by the booth this morning.
