This seminar is more than simply an introduction to the basics in machinery lubrication, condition monitoring and maintenance. Topics covered include “Best Practices” techniques for lubricant delivery, storage and dispensing, management of machinery lubrication routes, lubricant selection and additives, setting re-lubrication intervals, basic oil analysis, and contamination control.
The Lubrication Technician seminar is intended for individuals directly involved in the machinery lubrication process whose job titles may include Lubrication Technician, PM Technician, Millwright, Oiler, Mechanic, Operator, etc.
