Food and Beverage (FB-101)

April 27, 2026 April 30, 2026

This hands-on course on instrumentation will start by providing maintenance and engineering personnel with a basic understanding of wiring, signals, instrumentation technologies, applications, and installations. All the common instruments found in today’s food and beverage industries will be examined from a view applicable to virtually any manufacturer’s equipment operation, installation, start-up, calibration and troubleshooting procedures. All instrumentation technologies will include a theory on the instrument, followed by a lab on that technology. By the time the student completes this course, they will have a very well-rounded understanding of all that is needed to start up and troubleshoot virtually any instrument, which will keep any plant process down time to a minimum. The class will be a combination of classroom and hands-on training on a PTU® (Process Training Unit).
