Hands-On Training for the Operation & Maintenance of Conveying Equipment

GEAPS is happy to announce we are working with Kansas State University to offer Hands-On Training for the Operation & Maintenance of Conveying Equipment December 5-7 at the IGP Institute on the campus of Kansas State University.

If this seems familiar to some of you, GEAPS and Kansas State University has worked together to bring similar training opportunities in the past. We are thrilled to bring this kind of opportunity back for our members.

Many people would benefit from this learning experience, including engineers, project managers, grain elevator operators, maintenance personnel, millwrights and safety personnel, among others.

About the Course

Participants will be able to learn from five presenters over the three-day course. Hands-On Training for the Operation & Maintenance of Conveying Equipment will teach participants how to safely operate, maintain and repair conveying equipment commonly used in grain facilities through instructor demonstrations and hands-on practice. The course will also provide practical information and guidelines on how to develop and implement a comprehensive preventive maintenance program.

After successfully completing the course, learners will be able to install, operate and inspect conveying equipment. They’ll also be able to troubleshoot problems and maintain the equipment, understand what could happen to grain quality if conveying equipment is used improperly and apply and perform the best safety practices and procedures on conveying equipment.

To get the most out of the in-person training, participants will complete three online modules before traveling to Kansas.
