MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE COURSE

RENOVETEC course on mechanical maintenance studies the main mechanisms and mechanical equipment of industrial installations: pumps, valves, heat exchangers and cooling towers. The course examines in detail each of these equipment, their main characteristics and constructive materials, to focus on usual breakdowns and scheduled maintenance required to ensure high availability and long life.

IT IS AN ESSENTIAL COURSE FOR PROFESSIONALS AND HEADS OF MAINTENANCE

The aim of this course is that students know the mechanical equipment of an industrial installation, the different options and their selection criteria, characteristics and maintenance, both corrective and preventive. Keep in mind that almost 80% of the workload of maintenance refers to mechanical maintenance.
