Coperion has announced its upcoming Industrial Ventilation Systems – Foundation & Design Course designed to empower industry professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to optimize dust collection systems. This course underscores Coperion’s commitment to creating true partnerships with their customers—focusing not just on components, but on improving entire systems by sharing our expertise and through collaboration.
"Our customers’ focus is on delivering the best quality end product, so dust collection may not always be their primary focus, but it is one of those behind-the-scenes processes that makes the entire plant more efficient, sanitary, and safe,” says Zach Griffey, Sales Manager of Filtration, at Coperion. “This course is tailored to help our customers understand and enhance their dust collection systems, preventing issues before they arise and ensuring their plants operate at peak performance.”
The course features:
· Hands-on experience: Participants will explore components such as fans, ductwork, filtration media, control valves, dampers, and hoods learning to control airflow and manipulate system components effectively.
· Design focus: The course emphasizes duct work design and the entire system layout — key factors in achieving optimal filtration performance.
· Peer collaboration: A significant part of the training involves working alongside industry peers, sharing solutions, and solving common challenges encountered in various plants.
· Expert instruction: Led by Andrew Ray, a Senior Ventilation Engineer at Coperion with 20 years of experience, the course offers insights from someone who has seen it all — field experience that translates into practical, real-world knowledge.
· Trusted content: The proven industry expertise of Coperion and Shick Eteve, a brand of Coperion, ensure content is both relevant and authoritative.
Coperion’s Industrial Ventilation Systems course is ideal for engineers, process designers, maintenance professionals, and industry stakeholders across sectors such as powdered food, pharmaceuticals, and baking — any industry handling fine dry materials.
As Zach emphasizes, “We aren’t interested solely in selling dust collection components, but in helping customers improve systems. Education is part of the partnership." By participating, attendees will:
· Improve filtration efficiency
· Reduce costly downtime
· Reduce operational costs
· Enhance plant safety and sanitation
· Stay ahead with the latest industry trends and innovations
