NIBA 2010 Technical Seminar: October 19-20, 2010 Cedar Rapids, IA

Track, Train, Troubleshoot
for Heavyweight Belting

This seminar is designed to educate and add real world value to those who are in the business of providing solutions to conveyor operational problems. The keystone of the training will be a site visit to an operating sand and gravel facility. Participants will apply their classroom knowledge critiquing operational conveyors and “working” on a staged conveyor while in production for problem solving purposes.

Instructors are NIBA Education & Technical Committee members Mike Cremeens, Shaw Almex Industries Ltd, with more than 30 years in the conveyor belt industry, and Dick McConnell, a 22-year veteran with Flexco.
