Training Makes a Difference!
Are you looking to increase your organization’s rotary equipment knowledge? A knowledgeable team that understands how to operate and maintain their Kiln or dryer is more important than ever with the increased cost of energy, equipment, and the double impact of the high cost of emergency repairs and lost product delivery. Having knowledgeable staff helps to recognize issues earlier leading to less downtime and improved efficiency. As a result, customers came to Finch Manufacturing for a solution.
Bob Zinnen, CEO of Finch Manufacturing & Technology, LLC says “Finch Manufacturing created a training program that offers on-site, hands-on personnel training tailored to your company’s needs. This training program features both classroom and field instruction. Learning basics of RPE and the do’s and the don’ts is more critical than ever! We created this educational program at the request of our customers.”
Finch Manufacturing’s Rotary Processing Equipment (RPE) training program utilizes both classroom and on-site field training. Our engineering team developed this training program on RPE best practices and our years of experience. This training program outlines the Do’s and Don’ts. For example of a major Don’t, a new employee was asked to grease the trunnions and went out in the winter and sprayed grease all over the trunnion face and not the trunnion bearings. This eventually caused downtime since it impacted the kilns operations due to having excess trunnion wear.
The classroom presentation covers the basics concepts of rotary processing and reviews the different rotary components and their typical operation. This conceptual training helps the maintenance team understand why the specific maintenance action is important. The training highlights the key points in preventative maintenance and helps the maintenance team develop their plans. The whole purpose of this training is to increase the reliability of your equipment and extend its life. If requested, Finch’s Maintenance program discusses basic alignment techniques where your team learns firsthand to adjust the float of the unit for optimal performance. To our engineers, alignment represents simple concepts, but in application it is much more complicated. We ask that our customers contact us prior to performing major adjustments since getting the alignment wrong leads to tire, trunnion, and thrust roller damage. Worse case it damages the drive system too.
The field training consists of a guided walk around of your equipment with the Finch Manufacturing Engineer pointing out the different concepts and applying the knowledge gained from the classroom. After this walk around, the training returns to the classroom to answer any questions and review the key aspects of the training.
This program is geared toward more than just your maintenance staff and bettering their understanding and proficiency with your rotary equipment. Our training can significantly benefit your whole team, even those who are not regularly in the field, such as your office staff, by helping them better understand the equipment and its components and the needs that the unit requires for optimal operation.
