Dust Control Equipment

Exchange 2010 marks the fourth year of small-group "pod" educational sessions in the Expo Hall. Since it started with the first sessions back in 2007, the pod program has since grown steadily over the years in response to demand. The upcoming Exchange will offer a dozen pod sessions, all on topics related to dust collection systems and maintenance.

What makes the pods such a standout? It's the real-world information not available anywhere else. Exchange delegates get up close to equipment, learning about it directly from manufacturers. It's a golden opportunity for hands-on education on equipment features, uses and maintenance.

"Our pod focus this year is on `Dust Collection'--from bag house maintenance and troubleshooting, to demonstrating how air velocity and material weight impact the efficiency of a dust filter. The pods will also cover dust suppression using mineral oil, newer filter systems, and how to save energy using controllers," said Educational Programming Committee Chair Kathy Reading. "We will be bringing in the experts in these fields so they can share their tips and know-how right to the show floor. You won't find this opportunity for hands-on demonstrations in a small group atmosphere at any other convention!"

Pods have a maximum capacity of 30 people, and attendance is first-come, first served. Take a look at the pod schedule (below) and show up early to help secure your place.

Thanks to the EPC, GEAPS Associate members and other vendors, who offer their equipment for use in the pods and help produce the program.
