Food Processing, Packaging and Pharmaceutical production professionals will gather for a one-day workshop to tackle machinery care and reliability improvement issues through laboratory time, classroom workshops, hands-on training and preparation for the new Food Processing Lubrication (FPL) Badge Certification. The goal of these lubrication workshops will be to share and learn best practices in reliability-based lubrication and lubricant analysis techniques to deliver cost-saving solutions to the attendees and their companies, and to produce the first group of professionals earning the FPL Badge.
Some topics being covered are FDA and CGMP Lubricant Regulations, FSMA Implications for lubrication, Database Development and criteria using Navigator(TM) software and Creating a Clean-Inspect-Lube culture in food/pharma production.
This course will be available in-person at York College of PA’s JD Brown Center, or for online participation. Register for details. Time will be 08:00 – 16:00 on Abril 17, 2024.
WEDNet funding for this course may be available for PA residents. Follow this link for more information: https://dced.pa.gov/programs/wednetpa/
The Grease Thief Bootcamp workshops are three-day, highly focused lubrication workshops introducing the tools and techniques for in-service machinery grease sampling and analysis. In addition to live classroom time giving the background on the development of the current ASTM standards for sampling and analysis, much of the time is spent learning from the inventor of the Grease Thief, Rich Wurzbach.
Get firsthand knowledge of the sampling process, proper use of the Grease Thief sampling kits, streamlined analysis process including die extrusion, grease colorimetry and many other tests.
For those who are ordering Grease Thief analysis equipment or kits for their company or lab or are just investigating grease analysis, this workshop will arm you to implement a successful grease analysis program in a quick, efficient and effective manner. Also, get the chance to learn about the GreaseMonkey automated robotic grease testing system.
La generación de energía es un factor vital para nuestra economía. Una energía fiable y rentable puede afectar a casi todas las facetas de la fabricación y la vida cotidiana. Los lubricantes son el punto central de la fiabilidad de casi todos los sistemas mecánicos de las centrales eléctricas, incluidas las nucleares, las fósiles, las hidráulicas, las eólicas e incluso las grandes instalaciones solares.
Power generation professionals will gather for a two-day workshop to tackle machinery care and reliability improvement issues through laboratory time, classroom workshops and hands-on training. The goals of these lubrication workshops will be to share and learn best practices in reliability-based lubrication, lubricant analysis techniques and cost-saving solutions.
Steel, aluminum and metalworking present unique challenges to equipment reliability and lubrication of these capital-intensive production environments. Gearboxes, roller-bearings, wire drawing dies, machining centers, hydraulic reservoirs and electric motors are all operated in an environment that frequently includes very high temperatures, corrosive chemicals and the accumulation of dirt and once molten debris in oils and greases. When an experienced and capable workforce is armed with the knowledge of lubrication best practices, including filtration, lubricant sampling and analysis and condition-based lubrication replenishment, life extension of critical components and reduction in O&M costs can be substantial.
Metals professionals will gather for a two-day workshop to tackle machinery care and reliability improvement issues through laboratory time, classroom workshops and hands-on training. The goal of this workshop will be to share and learn best practices in reliability-based lubrication and lubricant analysis techniques, with the goal of delivering cost-saving solutions to the attendees and their companies.
El proceso de fabricación de la pasta y el papel plantea retos importantes para la fiabilidad y la durabilidad de las máquinas. Las prácticas de lubricación de máquinas de alta calidad son un elemento esencial necesario para la protección de las máquinas de papel, los accionamientos mecánicos y eléctricos y los sistemas hidráulicos.
Pulp and paper professionals will gather for a two-day workshop to tackle machinery care and reliability improvement issues through laboratory time, classroom workshops and hands-on training.
Los objetivos de este taller serán compartir y aprender las mejores prácticas en materia de lubricación basada en la fiabilidad, técnicas de análisis de lubricantes y soluciones de ahorro.
Cement manufacturing and mining operation are some of the most challenging environments for lubrication and long equipment life. The constant presence of abrasive contaminants, high temperatures and shock loads conspire to diminish the time between failures and impact the ability to recover the valuable investment made in capital equipment. Lubricants are the lifeblood for these components.
Mining professionals will gather for a two-day workshop to tackle machinery care and reliability improvement issues through laboratory time, classroom workshops and hands-on training.
The goal of this workshop will be to share and learn the best practices in reliability-based lubrication and lubricant analysis techniques, with the objective of delivering cost-saving solutions to the attendees and their companies. The class includes hands-on activities, networking and a tour of a local facility to reinforce the class experience.
El transporte está impulsado por máquinas que propulsan a las personas y a las mercancías hacia los destinos a los que deben llegar, y lo hacen mientras están protegidas por una fina película de lubricante. Estas aplicaciones plantean retos únicos a la fiabilidad de los equipos y a la lubricación en estas operaciones de gran intensidad de capital mientras se mueven por entornos difíciles.
Los profesionales del transporte se reunirán en un taller de dos días para abordar los problemas de cuidado y mejora de la fiabilidad de la maquinaria a través de tiempo de laboratorio, talleres en el aula, formación práctica y una visita centrada en la lubricación a una instalación de transporte local.
