If you design pneumatic conveying systems, read on……… and book your place on one of these short courses.


Pneumatic Conveying System Design: Advanced Course; 13 – 14 November 2024;

There is a tradition of different companies using different design equations and assumptions. In recent years there has been a lot of new information generated using improved methods for measurement of material conveying properties, the use of these for design and the effects of design details such as bends and stepped bore sizes.

The ultimate aim of this course is to share the most up-to-date knowledge on how to obtain pipeline designs that work reliably, delivering the required throughput without unplanned maintenance and negative impact on quality of the material being handled.

Rotary Valves; Design, Selection and Operational Issues; 27 November 2024

Rotary valves are widely used to feed pneumatic conveying pipelines, and for feed metering, explosion isolation, atmospheric isolation etc. However there are literally thousands of combinations of different feature options available covering choice of materials of construction, rotor type, drive type, venting arrangements, bearing pattern, seal choice, clearances, cleaning features etc. Faced with this bewildering choice, how does an engineer decide what to specify? This course will help understand the reasons for the different options and how to choose them.

Is this for me?

If you are actively involved in design or troubleshooting of pneumatic conveying systems, these courses are aimed at you. The Rotary Valves course is also recommended for engineers, system designers, maintenance personnel who have responsibility for sourcing, specifying and keeping operational rotary valves.

Attendance on all 3 days is recommended to complete the full range of information on offer on this topic.

Venue: Both courses are held at the Wolfson Centre on the University of Greenwich Medway campus in Chatham and are led by the Centres Director, Mike Bradley, an expert with nearly 40 years’ experience in pneumatic conveying technology.

Registration: On-line registration and full details of these and all other courses can be found at here

Discounted rates: We are pleased to offer discounted rates to previous delegates returning for more training, and to groups of delegates from one company.
