Conveyor Maintenance Does Not Have to Be A Drag: Craig Jones, BCI
The grain and feed industries are responsible for moving large amounts of bulk commodities and products from one point to another.  If your equipment is not properly maintained, breakdowns and delays will occur.  This session will focus on the unique maintenance needs of drag conveyors.  Learn how to assess issues and perform preventative maintenance before a work stoppage happens.
