Lubrication Training

There is nothing more dangerous to equipment reliability than an untrained lube tech or a poorly designed lube program.

With the average plant losing approximately 10% of the entire maintenance budget simply due to poor lubrication practices, it is vital that our in-house practices become optimized. This starts with training and certification.

Gone are the days of simply passing down information from generation to generation. It has been shown that the best performing organizations do so by performing their tasks in a well-documented and proven manner. In industry, this begins with lubrication.

While lubrication and contamination issues make up the vast majority of component failure, it reasons to be true that we must start with training.

By following the ICML and ISO 18436-4:2008 Body of Knowledge, Allied Reliability and GPAllied have developed an exciting and information packed training course designed to get your internal programs pointed in the right direction!

Lubrication Objectives

To enable you to perform correct Field Lubricant Analysis and Machinery Lubrication in accordance with established Best Practices, including:

  • Manage lubricant delivery, storage and dispensation.
  • Manage a route for machinery re-lubrication and/or inspection.
  • Properly change and/or top the oil in mechanical equipment found in common industrial sites.
  • Use simple techniques to select lubricants with the proper base oil and additive system for machinery commonly found in industrial settings.
  • Use simple techniques to select grease lubricants appropriate for machines commonly found in industrial settings.
  • Use simple techniques to select grease application methods (including automated delivery) that are least intrusive and most effective for machines commonly found in industrial settings.
  • Use simple techniques to estimate re-grease volume and interval for machines commonly operated in industrial settings.
  • Properly maintain automatic lubrication systems (auto-grease, mist systems, etc.).
  • Employ basic oil analysis techniques to identify and troubleshoot abnormal lubricant degradation conditions, and use simple techniques to adjust the lubricant specification accordingly.
