Mechanical Conveyors and Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Material handling is a cornerstone of industrial efficiency and productivity, and two prominent technologies in this domain are mechanical conveyors and pneumatic conveying systems. These systems serve the same fundamental purpose, moving materials from one point to another, but they do so in radically different ways. Mechanical conveyors use physical components such as belts, buckets, chains, or screws to move material, while pneumatic conveying relies on air or another gas to carry materials through a pipeline using either positive or negative pressure. Striking the right balance between these systems requires an understanding of their respective strengths, limitations, applications, and operational costs.

At the AGM held in May we discussed the possibility of changes to the constitution to allow end users to join the association. It was decided by vote to hold an EGM to discuss this further and vote on the matter formally (as to make this change would mean changing the constitution and can only be decided at an AGM or EGM providing enough notice has been given to members).
We will add this to the meeting agenda and instead of a vote in the room by show of hands it has been agreed to hold an electronic vote. A link to do this will be provided at the meeting and also sent out via email to all members to be able to participate.
There will also be the usual updates from the General Secretary and Chairman as well as a guest presentation and introductions from some of our recent new members.
