GEAPS and K-State Offer Online Courses in Grain-Handling Operations




Founded more than 70 years ago, Airmatic Inc distributes industrial equipment and provides installation and maintenance services to several markets, from agriculture and manufacturing to mining and construction. Airmatic Inc also serves as a member of the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS), a manufacturer trade association.

Last week, registration opened for four online grain-handling operations courses provided by GEAPS and the Kansas State University (K-State) Distance Education Program. This term’s courses cover a variety of topics, such as grain facilities planning, preventing grain dust explosions, fan operational management, and aeration system design. GEAPS and K-State are also offering a Spanish-language class with a concentration on entry-level safety; this course is a complement to GEAPS 500: Introduction to Grain Operations and must be completed in order to earn the Credential in Grain Operations Management (CGOM).

Online classes run from October 31 to December 2 and are available to GEAPS members at $670 per course and non-members at $850 per course.

Airmatic Inc has been a proud member of GEAPS since 2005 and exhibits annually at the Tradeshow.
