If you’re new to crusher operation or wish to enhance your knowledge, our full crusher training course is an excellent option. The course is comprehensive and covers all the necessary skills needed to become a competent operator. Below is an overview of the course content, designed to prepare you thoroughly for real-world work environments.

In the initial stage of the Crusher Course, we cover the basics of crushers, explaining the various types of crushers commonly used in the construction and aggregate industries. This includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, and more. You’ll learn about their specific functions, applications, and advantages in different projects. Understanding the variety of machines available helps operators choose the right equipment for specific jobs.

Safety is the cornerstone of all construction operations, and crusher operation is no different. During this section, you’ll learn about essential safety procedures, including personal protective equipment (PPE) and the specific risks associated with crushers.

We cover everything from pre-operational checks to avoid malfunctions to emergency shutdown procedures. The importance of maintaining a safe work environment is reinforced, ensuring that you understand how to prevent accidents or equipment damage.

Once you’ve covered the safety procedures, we move into the basics of crusher operation. This section introduces you to the different controls, settings, and configurations of crusher machines. You will learn how to set up, start, operate, and shut down the equipment safely. The aim is to build your confidence in handling crushers and ensure that you can control the equipment in different worksite conditions.

This part of the crusher course also explains how to optimise the crusher for efficiency, maximising productivity while minimising potential wear and tear on the equipment.

Effective material handling is crucial to ensuring that the crusher operates efficiently. In this section, you’ll learn how to manage different types of materials, understand their properties, and how to feed them into the crusher correctly. Proper material handling helps reduce downtime and ensures the crusher functions optimally throughout its operation.

You will also be taught various crushing techniques, depending on the material being processed. Whether it’s hard rock, concrete, or softer materials, knowing the right techniques is essential for efficient crusher operation.

Every job site presents unique safety challenges, and this part of the crusher training ensures that you can identify and mitigate these risks. In addition to the specific hazards associated with crushers, you’ll be taught how to spot site-specific dangers, such as unstable ground, weather conditions, or surrounding structures. Hazard awareness and risk management are critical to keeping yourself and your team safe.

We also cover legal obligations and regulations related to crusher operations, ensuring that you are fully compliant with both NPORS and industry standards.

Preventative maintenance and regular inspections are essential for keeping crushers in peak condition. In this section, you’ll learn how to perform routine inspections and maintenance tasks to ensure the machine’s longevity and reliability.

We cover common mechanical issues and how to diagnose and fix them before they escalate. You’ll be trained on how to check for wear and tear, monitor the lubrication system, and perform other essential maintenance tasks. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to ensure that your crusher operates smoothly and efficiently with minimal downtime.

At VPT, we believe in the importance of practical crusher training, which is why hands-on experience is a crucial part of our NPORS Crusher Training course. You will be given the opportunity to operate crushers under the guidance of our experienced instructors. This practical experience allows you to apply the theoretical knowledge you’ve gained and develop the confidence needed to handle real-life situations.

By working with a crusher in a controlled environment, you will practice material feeding, monitoring outputs, and managing the machine during normal operation. This hands-on approach helps you become a proficient operator, ready to take on professional challenges.

Upon completing the NPORS Crusher Training course, you will undergo an assessment to ensure that you have fully grasped the course content and can demonstrate your competency in operating a crusher safely and effectively. This assessment involves both a theoretical test and a practical evaluation where you will be required to show your ability to operate the equipment under different conditions.
