Pneumatic conveying is the most widely used method for transporting bulk solid materials, but frequent problems occur because few people receive formal training about the technology. This course provides a broad education about everything related to pneumatic conveying. Students receive an expert lecture about each topic, then take part in hands-on demonstrations using working components and actual conveying systems.
This is an in-person course across two full days. This course is offered at K-State Olathe with lab demos at a local industry lab. An optional industry tour and dinner are included at the end of the first day. This course will also be offered from March 26-27, 2024.
