SIM 2026 Conference: Fives will highlight its expertise in dry-process technologies for optimizing and recovering value from mineral resources
From October 7 to 9, 2026, Fives will participate in the Société de l'Industrie Minérale (SIM) Congress in Châlons-en-Champagne, a must-attend event for professionals in the mineral, construction materials, and recycling industries.
At the event, we will showcase our expertise in dry-process technologies for the grinding, classification, and calcination of mineral resources, as well as our comprehensive range of services designed to help manufacturers optimize their facilities.
Technologies designed to address the challenges of resource recovery
Transforming alternative resources into high-performance materials requires precise control of treatment processes. To meet these challenges, Fives offers solutions that address every key stage of the value chain.
Selective grinding, in particular, optimizes the recovery of different mineral fractions by leveraging their specific characteristics. Combined with dynamic classification, it helps control particle size distribution and optimize material performance.
For some mineral resources or industrial byproducts, additional thermal treatment is necessary to unlock their reactivity potential. The flash calcination technology developed by Fives enables the thermal activation of a wide range of SCMs and alternative resources. This process is a key driver for the production of lower-carbon-footprint cementitious materials. The combination of these technologies thus makes it possible to transform some industrial byproducts and underexploited mineral resources into high-value-added materials, while helping to reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint of the processes.
An expertise that goes beyond equipment
Beyond the design and supply of equipment, Fives supports its customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their installations with a range of services covering audits, maintenance, upgrades and remote support. This comprehensive approach helps identify opportunities for process improvement and sustainably optimize the performance of industrial units.
Discussing the challenges of tomorrow
At a time when industry is seeking new ways to make the most of available resources and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, optimizing grinding and calcination processes plays a crucial role.
Fives experts will be present at the SIM 2026 Congress to share their experience and discuss technical solutions for addressing these challenges, from raw material characterization to the industrial implementation of recovery processes.
