Benjamin Alexander Hernandez from Nicaragua, a degree student at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, completed his two-month stay at the Institute of Mineral Processing Machines (IAM) on 30 August as part of the IAESTE exchange program. During his time in Freiberg, he assisted us with the crushing, classification/sorting and analysis of ores in our pilot plant in a nearby quarry.
Benjamin operated our jaw crusher and screening machine to preprocess the test material. He then divided it into representative samples, with which he then fed our impact mill. He also took time, weight and wear measurements. Continue reading “IAESTE student completes stay at the Institute of Mineral Processing Machines”
