It offers industry professionals from across the world expert training in this ﬁeld. This year 24 students from 18 different nations completed their intensive training in the course held in English. SMS said the packed curriculum of the 55e1 course was characterized by its broad range of theoretical subjects and its strong practice orientation. In his graduation speech, Michael Weber, the principal of the SMS, noted that the stay in St. Gallen was challenging and sometimes very hard, but it was a great experience.

After his speech, Weber handed the freshly trained grain milling technologists their diplomas with a warm handshake and a few personal words. Martin Schlauri, managing director, Grain Milling, at Buhler, Uzwil, stressed in his speech at the graduation that 10 months ago the students made an important decision by deciding to invest in their professional skills. “Now leaving the school, it is important to apply your know-how in your job, to transfer the know-how to your team and colleagues and to stay curious.” He then presented the Dr. René Bühler Award, which goes to the best in class of each course, to Eko Mulyanto of Bogasari Flour Mills, Indonesia.

Intersystems applies for patent on RollerFLO 3i
OMAHA, NEBRASKA, U.S. — Intersystems announced on April 1 that it has applied for a patent for its newly launched triple idler enclosed belt conveyor, named the RollerFLO 3i. Intersystems said that its highly skilled engineering department considered all potential customer needs within the new product and can create solutions through custom design. The company noted that safety topped the list of concerns in the development of this new conveyor. Among the most important design features are the outboard bearings. This feature is an integral part of the patent application for this product. Intersystems said that other triple idler conveyors, both open and enclosed, place the bear100

ings in dusty and potentially explosive environments. The design of the Rollerﬂo 3i puts the bearings outside of the conveyor enclosure to safeguard against explosion hazards that are inherent in other conveyor designs. The RollerFLO 3i features side idler support brackets with easy two-bolt removal, external ﬂange bearings, heavy duty idlers, twoway head discharges, reloading tail with a “quick clamped” hinged tail shroud and a self-cleaning spiral wing tail pulley. The external bearings are easily serviced while other conveyors have internal bearings that cannot be serviced. For more information, visit www.intersystems.net.
