Beyond the Basics: Advanced Techniques in Pneumatic Conveying

This course provides a brief overview, and then dives into specifying, designing and sizing a pneumatic conveying system. It involves a combination of theory, calculations and practical hands-on application.

Hands-on learning using real components and operating conveying systems make up a key part of this impactful course.

Throughout the course, time will be provided to discuss real-life problems such as not making rate, degradation/friable materials, build-up in convey lines, abrasive wear, fine sticky powders, poor-flowing materials, light materials, heavy materials, angelhair and streamer formation, railcar and truck unloading, refilling feeders, closed loop systems and temperature or moisture issues.

Be sure to bring any additional questions to class so we can discuss them.
