An effective maintenance program requires qualified, motivated and well-trained mechanics. The IAOM Milling Maintenance Course provides an opportunity for your maintenance personnel to gain the training, contacts and confidence they need to keep your mill operating at maximum capacity.

 

To supplement the processing training, the Milling Maintenance Short Course I provides three days of training for mill maintenance personnel who need to be familiar with the maintenance of milling equipment. Up to 25 attendees will receive an overview of mill and preventative maintenance, including various tours, instruction in electrical maintenance, sanitation and safety. The focus of the course is on power transmission/bearings; sifter maintenance and flow; pneumatic systems; programmable controllers; work orders; and employee safety and sanitation as related to maintenance.
