Saving money by increasing machinery reliability
9-10 November 2005, Park Hyatt, Johannesburg
"We have 40 million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse."
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
In order to succeed in the cost-competitive aggregates industry, high production is only one piece of the pie. It is also equally important to maintain reliable production at lower costs. However, this is a challenge, since aggregates operations function in extreme environments that make rigorous demands on equipment due to weather, dust, dirt, and other external contaminants.
Selecting the proper lubricants and maintaining their health is critical to sustaining an efficient operation, extending equipment life, and enhancing equipment reliability. Furthermore, well-designed storage and handling practices for lubricants enable significant savings in maintenance-related expenditures.
This event is not just a gathering of people who share a common interest, but rather it is a purposeful and strategic program for knowledge dissemination ... from those in the know to those who need to know, some desperately. It is all about the serious business of saving money and increasing machinery reliability.
"Proper storage, handling, selection, and maintenance of lubricants can extend your equipment life, and ultimately, save you money in the long run."
Attend this conference and gain insight into:
* Selecting the right lubricant type.
* Extending service intervals by optimising oil and filter change intervals.
* Lubricant and condition monitoring.
* Lubricant handling, storage, consumption and conservation.
* Ensuring that all lubricants and lubrication are in compliance with relevant government agencies and industry and standards organisations.
* Writing lubrication procedures.
* Training of maintenance staff to create an awareness of the value of lubrication.
The conference is sponsored by: ENGEN and Barloworld Equipment.
