Today’s design and project engineer must be able to specify all components for new projects, redesigns, and upgrades. Often new plant and equipment is bought to meet a capital budget restraint and built to a price, rather than a fit for purpose standard. Once commissioned, site personnel go about finding ways to improve performance and reliability of new plant along with existing plant.

Modern power transmission systems and engineered drives are a vital part of a plant’s efficient and reliable operation. Add to this the growing economic pressures and focus on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and the need for optimized drives is evident. The ability to correctly design and specify the various power transmission components in a drive system for optimum performance will drastically improve plant reliability and reduce energy consumption and emissions.

Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Reliability

Engineers, Environmental Engineers, electrical

supervisors, mechanical supervisors.

The ever increasing cost of energy, compounded by the additional government imposts for carbon emissions, means businesses have to take advantage of any opportunity to reduce energy consumption. This course is designed to assist personnel to identify opportunities to make substantial improvements in energy efficiency throughout your plant and thus reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Course Outline:• Overview of the four main maintenance strategies

• Why Predictive Maintenance and how to benefit

• Condition monitoring overview

• Non invasive condition assessment technologies including:

• Vibration analysis

• Infrared Thermography

• Oil Analysis

• Motor current analysis

• Ultrasonic leak detection

• Cost benefit analysis

Course Aim:To introduce candidates to the theory of

Predictive Maintenance and associated

condition monitoring technologies.

Course Outcome:Candidates will be able to assess their current

maintenance practices and identify what

changes and technologies to adopt to improve

their maintenance productivity, reduce costs,

and achieve greater plant reliability.

Who should attend:Maintenance Managers, Maintenance

Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Reliability

Engineers, Environmental Engineers,

electrical supervisors, mechanical supervisors,

maintenance personnel.

Maintenance practices and activities have a major impact on plant reliability and corresponding maintenance costs and production losses. Reactive ‘breakdown’ maintenance and Preventative maintenance are costly and an inefficient utilization of limited resources. Predictive maintenance, incorporating modern condition based monitoring and assessment techniques, provides a framework for deploying maintenance activities based on machine condition rather than when they breakdown, or because a predefined timeframe suggests so.

Chain Installation & MaintenanceRoller & conveyor chains require proper installation and maintenance to ensure longevity

in service. Here we cover how to measure chain wear, sprocket condition, installation, and

lubrication and maintenance requirements.

Bearing Handling & StorageBearings are a precision component which can be damaged by incorrect handling and storage!

Understanding how to correctly handle and store bearings to ensure they are not inadvertently

damaged prior to installation, will reduce premature failures often experienced shortly after

machines are repaired.

Fitting Spherical Roller & Self-Aligning Ball BearingsA practical tutorial aimed at providing

mechanical fitters with the correct

methodology for fitting these bearings. Topics

include shaft finish and tolerances, correct

mounting procedure for tapered bore bearings

onto adapter sleeves, setting radial internal

clearance, sealing considerations, and more!

V-Belt & Pulley InstallationUnderstanding the correct way to install v-belts

and pulleys is essential to ensure long service

life. Participants will learn the value of correct

pulley alignment, accurate v-belt tensioning

practices, and how to identify common v-belt

failure causes.

Bearing LubricationCorrect lubrication practices are vital to ensure

bearings achieve the maximum service

life possible. In this tutorial we explore the

different types of lubricants available and

their application. We cover how to determine

relubrication schedules and quantities based

on operating hours, not calendar time lines, to

optimize your lubrication schedule and extend

bearing service life.

The following tutorials are practical hands-on workshop exercises conducted on-site in a less formal atmosphere than a training course. These tutorials are often tailored to suit your individual site needs and focuses on those areas you deem important.
