"As a maintenance technician it’s important for me to understand how lubricants impact every piece of equipment I touch."
"Not only are we using the wrong lubricants, we are buying too many of them."
Purpose of Seminar:
With an increase in the cost of oil and the costs of downtime due to poor lubrication,
having knowledge to make the right decisions on lubrication is critical for any plant
or facility. This lubrication course provides practical knowledge that participants can
apply to everyday situations for improved performance related to lubrication issues and
problems. Whether you operate in a small facility or a large, multi-location plant,
choosing the right lubricants for your applications and implementing a lubrication
maintenance program can reduce your overall cost of ownership and operations. This course
will help the student understand which lubricants to choose based on their needs, and how
to properly monitor their lubricants.
This course is perfect for those new to lubrication as well as the seasoned expert who just
needs a solid refresher. We approach our students as if they were our own employees. We give
them real world, practical knowledge. Students attending this course are expected to go back
to their workplace and immediately apply what they have learned. Now that’s “Real World”
training!
Who should take this course?
If you are involved in maintenance in any way, lubrication is an essential understanding
to properly maintain equipment and reduce downtimes. This course is a must for anyone who
works around lubricated equipment, manages lubricated equipment or purchases lubrication,
including:
- Maintenance Technicians
