On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, Dr. Timothy J. Bowser, P.E., food process engineer, Oklahoma State University Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center, will present “What You Don't Know About Screening and Separation” as part of Powder & Bulk Solids' DryPro webinar series.

Socrates said, "You don't know what you don't know." This presentation is aimed at telling you what you need to know about screening and separation equipment and processes, and where to look for answers. We interviewed the manufacturers, sales teams, installers, and operators, and reviewed case studies to learn what the owners wished they knew before starting their project. This webinar covers properties of products, equipment maintenance, cleanability and inspection, process throughput, upgrades and options, and the installation environment. The webinar concludes with a review of what you need to know and a brief Q&A session.
