Efficient lubrication and modern oil monitoring for optimum compressor performance

Compressors and compressors are central equipment in many industries, from air supply to chemical processing. Proper lubrication and precise oil monitoring are crucial to maximising the service life and reliability of these machines.

In our practical 2-day seminar, you will learn how modern oil analyses help to detect wear at an early stage and increase operational safety. Learn about the targeted use of different types of oil, including synthetic oils, and optimise your maintenance strategies. With numerous practical examples from various industries, you gain valuable knowledge for your daily work and avoid typical lubrication problems. This is how you ensure the long-term and economical availability of your compressor systems.

  • Understanding the functioning of compressor oils
  • Knowledge of various oil types and their application in compressor components
  • Advantages and applications of synthetic oils
  • Professional oil monitoring to extend oil life and increase plant availability
  • Avoidance of lubricant-related practical problems through sound know-how
  • Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
  • Technical consultants and sales personnel from oil companies
  • Technical specialists and managers from compressor manufacturers
