Bead Plant Training Matrix

This Bead Plant Training Matrix outlines standardized procedures for operating a bead production line. It covers safe start-up of compressor and boiler, temperature targets, and activating bed dryer controls. Detailed steps for first and second pass production include hopper loading, gate settings, piping checks, and routing to silos. Hourly quality monitoring explains weighing methods, sieve sizing, and recording batch data on an iPad. The guide also details shutdown, clearing the expander and bed, and required PPE when handling hot materials. Routine maintenance includes boiler blowdowns, diesel checks, cleaning the agitator, and full clean-downs for product changeovers.
