Establish PM for Your Pumps and Learn the Fundamentals of On Site Repair to Save Money

Course Description


This pump repair and maintenance course was created to bring students up to speed in their knowledge of field pump repair, maintenance and servicing as quickly and efficiently as possible. It includes discussions on skills improvement and is specifically designed for field technicians who are responsible for repairing pumps and keeping them up and running. It provides a practical, real world education taught by instructors who have actually spent time in the field doing this type of work. Novice technicians receive a comprehensive education in troubleshooting, repair and maintenance best-practices, and experienced technicians use it for continuing education or to just refresh their minds and sharpen their skills. Students� specific needs and concerns are also addressed during the class so that they can go back to their workplace and immediately apply what they�ve learned.

After attending this pump maintenance course, students will know exactly what to do when a pump stops working and they�ll be able to fix problems they�ve never been able to fix before. Overall, this training program is designed to teach technicians how to bring pumps back to life when they fail, what they should learn from those failures, and then what to do to make sure they never happen again.

What You Will Learn

After completion of this course attendees will be able to present a training certificate indicating he or she has learned to:

  • Identify different types of pumps and their parts
  • Identify different pump drivers and their use
  • Assemble & disassemble an ANSI pump
  • Troubleshoot, install and lubricate bearings
  • Understand vibration measurements
  • Understand acoustical measurements
  • Repair a shaft & pump case
  • Understand shaft alignment techniques
  • Identify, inspect and repair V-belt drives
  • Troubleshoot wetted end pumps
  • Pack a shaft and a pump
  • Troubleshoot and install mechanical seals
  • Understand pump case repair methods
  • Develop a pump maintenance program

And to be 100% certain you get the training you need, students are encouraged to bring their own unique pump applications or case studies from their own facility for discussion during class.
