Effective lubrication and oil monitoring for reliable paper machine production

Paper machines are complex systems that ensure a smooth and efficient operation through precise lubrication and targeted oil monitoring. Lubricants reduce friction, protect against wear, and ensure a long lifespan of machine components – from hydraulic systems to drives and heat transfer oils.

A professional oil monitoring system helps to detect contamination or signs of wear early, thus avoiding unplanned downtime. This seminar provides practical knowledge about the selection, application, and monitoring of lubricants specifically for the requirements of the paper industry.

  • Understanding the fundamentals of lubricant function
  • Getting to know the advantages and applications of synthetic oils
  • Explain the special requirements for lubricants in paper production.
  • Identify important equipment parameters for lubricant selection
  • Ensure quality control of lubricants
  • Avoid practical problems through professional handling of lubricants
  • Implement effective oil monitoring to increase plant availability
  • Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
  • Technical consultants and sales personnel of the lubricant industry
  • Specialized and sales staff from OEM component manufacturers
  • Specialized personnel from service companies in the field of condition monitoring and oil maintenance.
Seminar (2 days)
