All grain companies need trained and skilled operators and maintenance people. GEAPS and Kansas State University have designed this program to train grain workers on real, operating grain conveying equipment.

Hands-On Training for the Operation and Maintenance of Conveying Equipment is designed for anyone responsible for grain facility equipment maintenance and repair, maintenance training or maintenance-program protocol or systems development.

• Module 1: Distributors 
• Module 2: Screw Conveyors and Bin Sweeps
• Module 3: Chain (Drag) Conveyors
• Module 4: Belt Conveyors
