Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Solids Course Pneumatic conveying is one of the most commonly used means of transporting bulk solids. Applications range from large scale ship bulk cargo unloaders through to small in-plant systems. The Wolfson Centre has wide experience of different pneumatic conveying systems and the types of problems that can arise as a result of mismatching materials, feeders, pipe designs, or air movers to one another. The presenters have pooled their vast knowledge and experience in dealing with these problems to deliver a 2 day course, twice a year, which will cover operational and design issues associated with such systems. Day 3 is a practical session (optional) in their laboratory. For further details on the course, and on-line booking, please visit www.bulksolids.com

Co-sponsored by the International Association of Operative Millers, IGP is excited to continue expanding the opportunities within the annual flour milling curriculum. This course attracts a broad range of individuals to the program, says Mark Fowler, IGP associate director and milling specialist. "This course was one of the more diverse in regard to their job responsibilities. We had shift millers, miller assistants, quality assurance managers, general managers, technical service managers," says Fowler. "The common thread for most of these participants is that they are new to the industry. " Course participants will hear presentations from industry professionals, experience hands-on workshops and a high level of interaction between other participants and the professionals. Fowler along with Dan Wells, milling engineer and adjunct faculty from Salina, Kan., will be teaching most of the course. John Coombs, a second shift miller with Wilkins-Rogers Mills from Martinsburg, W.V. and a graduate of the 2012 course, appreciated the professionalism and the up to date knowledge of the technology that these instructors brought to the table. "I felt like I have a good handle on the basics, but to work alongside others helping each other is an experience that will help me improve at my own job," Coombs says. "I work primarily with soft wheat in West Virginia, so it was really interesting to learn about hard wheat and to have that experience open up questions and ideas about what our standard for quality is."
