TRAINING IN ROTARY UNITS
Dynamic sealing: Packings and mechanical seals
Every year, GROUPE LATTY organises a number of multilingual training sessions. These training modules are dedicated to the selection of sealing solutions with a focus on their implementation and good practices in the assembly of equipment, a guarantee of security for your personnel and equipment reliability. Our training modules include a theoretical approach in a training room and a practical approach on instrumented benches which allow you to discover the design and technical specificities of sealing systems. They are organised over 2 days for groups of 6 participants maximum at our production site in Brou (France) or on the customer's premises.
Training objectives: Understand the different leak occurrences, establish technical specifications which allow us to recommend a sealing system, choose a sealing method according to operating conditions, acquire the good practices in seal assembly and maintenance on our instrumented benches.
Personnel concerned: Engineers, managers or R&D technicians, maintenance, new works, engineering, methods, production, etc.
