Operating and Maintaining Clean and Safe Belt Conveyors

Overview

Martin Engineering’s Level 2 FOUNDATIONS™ Operations & Maintenance Workshop is a training presentation that teaches plant operations and maintenance personnel (and their managers) about the belt conveyors used in bulk materials handling.

Participants in the Operations and Maintenance Workshop learn how conveyors work, how to make them work better, and how to work safely around them. They also explore the concept of “Total Material Control” to understand the benefits this philosophy will bring their facility.

Designed to be presented in as a “live” classroom training session, the workshop can be completed in a one-day, six-to-eight-hour training period. A second-day program is available as an option.
