Expo Pod 2: Pneumatic Conveying Safety (Room Convention Center - Expo Hall)

12 Mar 19
10:30 AM - 11:15 AM

Tracks: Expo Pods, Property and Casualty Risk Management

While pneumatic conveying systems do not have as many high-speed rotating safety concerns as bucket elevators, drag conveyors, belt conveyors, lifts, and other systems, they do have their own safety issues. Pressure and vacuum pneumatic conveying systems can include high-speed rotating shafts, low-speed airlock rotation, spreaders, vane feeders, and issues regarding airborne dust and high-pressure compressed air. Review and discuss these and many other safety concerns during our session.
