Course Introduction
Automatic lubrication systems (ALS) play a vital role in improving machinery uptime, reducing manual maintenance, and optimizing lubrication efficiency in industrial operations. Whether applied to mobile equipment, conveyors, or fixed plants, ALS ensures consistent delivery of lubricants to critical components—reducing friction, wear, and unplanned downtime.
This intensive 2-day course provides an in-depth understanding of various ALS types, their design principles, operational considerations, and maintenance practices. Participants will explore system selection, installation best practices, troubleshooting methods, and alignment with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the components and types of automatic lubrication systems
• Identify the appropriate ALS type for specific equipment and operating conditions
• Design and implement ALS systems to improve equipment performance
• Perform routine inspection, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks
• Integrate ALS into broader asset management and RCM frameworks
Key Benefits of Attending
• Reduce lubrication-related equipment failures and production stoppages
• Extend asset life and improve energy efficiency through proper lubrication
• Minimize manual intervention and HSE risks in difficult-to-access lubrication points
• Gain practical knowledge of ALS design, selection, and servicing
• Support reliability and maintenance engineering initiatives with automation
